I've always been told and practiced the same thing, standard oil for 500 miles than change. Hard driving but not ragging on it, standard oil again and than another 5000 miles being hard on it. Rings seat well and should have very little leakdown.

Breaking in just a new engine is different than breaking in a new engine, rear and trans. You have to heat cycle the rear properly before beating on it.
