From 2 drivers I know they were facing a short life after running in.

It seems the very tight fit at the 1st tank is damaging the surface of the piston when running not much lubrication.

I know current commercial fuels do contain 7% up to 9% of oils which do give a maximum of performance and run time on 1 tank but sadly with current rpm's it is killing the engine slowly.
