Default OT break in oil for a new car

Do new cars still come with break in oil? Did they ever? I have
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 wife and I just bought a 2010 Toyota Matrix. I asked the salesman
about doing an oil change after a few thousand miles. He said that
Toyota uses a break in oil and not to change it. Whatever need be
done will be done during the regular warranty servicing.
