Is there such a thing as break in oil change service?
My car is at nearly 1k miles. I know that bmw m cars have a break in oil change at 1 k miles. Is there such thing for e63s? I see some guys are changing oil early as well as rear differential. Just curious what y’all would recommend. Thank you!

Oil is so cheap and easy so to me it's worth it and I always do it. Any impurities are removed from manufacturing along with a fresh oil filter will give a little more confidence if you plan on keeping the car for a long time.

I dont care what anyone says. Your diff still needs ~500 miles to break-in properly and getting all the little sparklies out of a new motor still sounds like a good idea to me. Besides, what's the harm in doing it early? Have I violated the new rules and regulations? Are they going to send the oil change police to my house? Am I going to get a ticket for not being carbon neutral?

that because AMG breaks in every single engine before it leaves Affalterbach...
They have to as they need to make sure that there are no oil leaks, coolant leaks etc.
This video is for the AMG M177 but it applies to every single engine that AMG build
copy the link, it starts at the point where they go to cold engine turn then to the combustion based run.
Start time is at 9:20

Hell I will change my oil before a roll race event , make 4-5 passes then bring it home and change the oil back to the street stuff I use. As long as it always looks crystal clear,I'm good to good for the future street beatings I will put on it. Plus it's really free. FCP Euro warranties their oil for life so I can change it every month if I wanted !! LOL

It used to be that you ran dino oil for the first miles to let the piston rings to bed in before switching to synthetic oil. New tolerances and materials negated that need.
