I ran mine at 2000 RPM for 25 minutes on 30W break in oil, then did an immediate oil change to 20W50 and went for a moderate 1/2 hour drive as a road test. Two days later I drove it 350Km to Toronto, varying RMP the whole trip, and I did probably a dozen full throttle 3rd gear pulls to 4000 RPM, then let it engine brake back down to 2500. After that I upped the RPM limit to 5000 until I had 1000Kms on the motor. I just did a 1700Km run to Hershey and back and the oil level didn't move at all, and she just passed the E test with flying colours.
