I've got right at 60 hours on my 5065E, so I'm reviewing my manual on changing the oil (capacity, viscosity, ect.) I was surprised to discover that the oil that comes from the factory is some sort of special break in oil that isn't supposed to be removed from the engine unless there are 100 hours on it. And if in that 100 hours there isn't some "hard" use, to wait until 200 hours to change it. Anyone else read this or am I misunderstanding? So what's in this break in oil? I normally change my oil in the spring regardless of hours (typically 50-60 hours a year).
