my brother is an engine builder and the place that he works recons that around 200 - 300 microns in your engine oil means that your engine has "worn in".
rings to engine block are the quickest to "run in". broken in - first start up to 2hr's, variable rev's to 1/3 throttle, no idle. if something is going to fail it will at this point worn in - around 500kms/310miles of city/highway driving. run in - 5000kms/3100miles to allow for individual part tolerances to take up to a point where heating and cooling of the engine hard faces the parts and slows the wearing process |
