Both above posts are spot on.
Just like Briggs and Stratton small engines saying never needs oil changes- just check and top off. Marketing bull an helping planned obsolescence and short replacement intervals.
I new one has less metal and grit etc than a rebuilt one but still surfaces are getting polished and wearing in and seating in.
Not that it will shorten the life of the engine to go what they say 7500-10k or more vs dumping first oil at 2000 but the first oil WILL get dirtier and have more contaminants in it than future oil changers will.
