Default OT break in oil for a new car

always heard that the oil that came with a new car should be changed
sooner.

I just checked the owners manual of a new Honda and found no special
instructions for the first oil change.


My lawnmower said to do the first oil change at a few hours, but it
has no oil filter to catch any metal shavings left from making it.
Cars have good filters, maybe 70 years ago they didnt. I dont know if
it matters, some even come with Mobil 1 synthetic now new.
