I can confirm that this helps, or some form of this depending on the circumstances. Although in some cases, to my engine, too much of it can and has hindered peak performance at times. To others it can prevent them from starting or revving up past idle, and restarting takes at least a day if not longer.

I was using a natural lubricant last night and experienced some extensive piston slap. Any recommendations on how to prevent this from happening again? I think the neighbors heard.

I am pretty sure I scored, but I'm not sure about the bore. I'll check that and reply back.
Maybe this is the excuse I've needed to purchase an inspection camera...

And you have to go through the proper warm up procedure, although it seems some are warmed up and ready to go faster than others, so not sure if there is a standard procedure out there.
I guess, as long as it's lubricated it's good to go.

Break-in oil can be used when you don't have the time to warm things up properly. This can also be used in cases where the bore is incredibly tight to prevent squealing...the literature indicates that this happens most often with cylinder #2.

I have some selection of break-in and warm-up oils in my "toolbox". There is also a bubbly oil for special occasions, and a red-dry oil for same purposes but different engine type.

Or is it a German thing?

It's been stated that Lubrizol is the company behind JG oil and that they are one of a few companies that supply the additives pack to other motor oil companies. So who makes the base stocks for JG oil? The additive pack makes up 15 to 25 percent of the total. The rest being base oil stocks. The opposite could be said for M1 in that they make the own base stocks and not buy it from another company. I'd love to know where Lubrizol obtains the base stocks for JG.
I knew it already, but I wanted it to confirm, and have it come from the horses' mouth.
Jake,
We source all of our base stocks from Chevron and Chevron Phillips. In fact, we were the first to purchase the mPAO base oils from Chevron Phillips. Just as Lubrizol is our additive development partner, Chevron Phillips is our base oil partner.

You probably didn't think that you'd get an answer to this.

Every unit shipped includes a second cylinder, but your ability to utilize it can vary from model to model. Note that there may be carbon build-up in that cylinder, which is harmless but potentially bothersome.

I don't see many people catching on to what is going on quickly.

WTH? I thought this was an oil thread and I checked in to see what's the best oil 996. I thought it was the Italian Pure Virgin Olive Oil, but now I find I have to consider a "carbonized second cylinder" scenario. I'm going to go change my blinker fluid...
