    E-TEC 150 breakin period?


    Anyone know what the parameters are for the E-TEC 150 break in period.
    I have heard that it is extra ( maybe double ) oil for the first X hours over
    Y RPM. I have heard anywhere from 2 to 10 hours for X and 2000 RPM for Y.

    Wondering when to expect the oil consumption to slow down.
    I am using XD100 and the motor is set for XD100. I am guessing I have around 3 to 6 hours over 2000 RPM now.

    Thanks

    BTW - motor performs great. I love it.

    You will be getting better economy about now. Your extra oil period should be about finished. Sometimes it hard to tell if you really have enough higher end run time. The 150 is great , I love to hear the sound( or lack there of) when they throttle up to get on top.
