Hi Craig,
Armand is perfectly right - do *NOT* change the factory
oil during the brake in period! They often use a special
oil with explicitly lower viscosity and lubrication quality,
in order to polish away all the inevitable tiny bumps on the
cylinder, gearbox and other moving parts' surfaces. You can
change to whatever oil you like *after* the break in period
(first 1000 km AFAIK), but not before!
Hope that helped
Bert.
