DRIVEN Oil Engine Break-in Bundle.
The Complete Lubrication Package for Fresh Engine Builds.
When a freshly built engine fires for the first time, every internal component is experiencing load for the very first time. Bearings are seeing pressure, camshafts and lifters are establishing their wear patterns, and piston rings are beginning the critical process of sealing against freshly honed cylinder walls.
This short window during the engine’s first hours of operation will determine whether the engine achieves maximum compression, peak horsepower, and long-term durability — or develops problems that can follow it for the rest of its life.
That’s why Griffin Motorsports created the Engine Break-In Bundle, a complete lubrication package designed specifically for freshly rebuilt engines or vehicles undergoing head, camshaft, or valvetrain upgrades.
Instead of guessing which oils and lubricants you need, this bundle provides everything required for proper engine assembly, safe initial startup, and the first oil change after break-in. Each bundle includes:
• (10) quarts Driven BR30 5W-30 Break-In Oil
• (2) ACDelco PF64 Oil Filters (OEM Spec)
• (10) quarts Driven Performance Oil (customer chooses HP-X 0W-40, HP-X 5W-50, or DI50 15W-50)
• (1) Driven No-Drip Engine Assembly Gel – 8 oz (#77000)
• (1) Driven Engine Assembly Grease – 4 oz (#00738)
This combination provides the exact lubricants professional engine builders rely on to protect components during assembly, promote proper ring seating during break-in, and transition the engine safely into full performance operation.
Why Proper Engine Break-In Matters
The break-in process is not simply about running the engine for a few minutes. It is a carefully controlled process where critical engine components must establish their wear patterns.
During the first startup and initial run-in period:
• piston rings must seat against the cylinder walls
• camshaft lobes and lifters establish wear patterns
• bearings experience full load for the first time
• valvetrain components operate under boundary lubrication
Using the correct oils and assembly lubricants during this process is essential to achieving maximum engine performance and durability. This bundle was designed to provide the correct lubrication products for each stage of the process.
Stage 1 – Engine Assembly Protection
Before the engine ever fires, internal components must be protected during assembly and initial rotation.
Driven No-Drip Assembly Gel
Driven’s No-Drip Assembly Gel is formulated with high film strength and tackifiers that allow it to cling to metal surfaces during engine assembly. This ensures that critical components remain lubricated even if the engine sits for days or weeks before startup.
Ideal for:
• main bearings
• rod bearings
• cam journals
• lifters
• timing components
The gel dissolves quickly once oil pressure is established, allowing the engine’s lubrication system to function normally.
Driven Engine Assembly Grease
For areas exposed to extremely high loads during initial startup, Driven Assembly Grease provides maximum protection.
This grease contains high levels of extreme-pressure additives and ZDDP anti-wear chemistry, forming a protective barrier that prevents metal-to-metal contact during the first rotations of the engine.
Ideal applications include:
• camshaft lobes
• pushrod tips
• rocker arm contact points
• distributor gears
These areas experience the highest loads during initial startup and require specialized lubrication.
Stage 2 – Controlled Engine Break-In
Once the engine starts, piston rings must seat quickly and correctly against the cylinder walls. This is where Driven BR30 Break-In Oil plays a critical role.
Modern passenger-car oils contain friction modifiers and detergents designed for long service intervals. Unfortunately, these additives can prevent piston rings from properly seating during break-in.
Driven BR30 is engineered specifically for the break-in process with:
• reduced detergent levels
• optimized friction characteristics
• elevated ZDDP anti-wear protection
This allows piston rings to properly wear into the cylinder wall hone pattern while protecting critical components such as camshafts, lifters, and bearings.
Proper ring seating results in:
• stronger compression
• reduced blow-by
• improved engine efficiency
• maximum horsepower potential
Stage 3 – Post Break-In Oil Service
After the initial break-in period (typically 30–100 miles or after dyno break-in), the oil and filter should be replaced. This bundle includes two AC Delco PF64 oil filters, ensuring you have the correct filtration for both the break-in phase and the first service interval.
Customers can then choose their preferred Driven performance oil for continued engine protection:
HP-X 0W-40
Ideal for high-performance street and track vehicles where OEM viscosity recommendations are preferred. (cat friendly)
HP-X 5W-50
Provides increased viscosity stability and protection for higher horsepower or track-driven engines. (cat friendly)
DI50 15W-50 Racing Oil
A race-focused formulation designed for extreme high-temperature and high-load environments when no cats are being used on the car.
What Happens If Break-In Is Done Incorrectly?
Improper engine break-in can lead to permanent performance problems that may require engine teardown to correct. Common issues caused by improper break-in include:
Poor Ring Seal
If piston rings fail to seat correctly, combustion pressure escapes into the crankcase rather than pushing down on the piston. This reduces power and efficiency.
Excessive Blow-By
Poor ring seating allows combustion gases to enter the crankcase, increasing crankcase pressure and contaminating the oil.
Oil Consumption
Improper ring seating may allow oil to enter the combustion chamber, causing excessive oil consumption and exhaust smoke.
Reduced Engine Power
Engines with poor ring seal simply cannot achieve their full horsepower potential.
The break-in period represents a small window of time that determines the long-term health of the engine. Using the correct oils and lubricants during this process helps ensure the engine performs exactly as designed. Designed for Engine Builders and Performance Enthusiasts
This bundle is ideal for:
• freshly rebuilt engines
• head and cam upgrades
• performance engine builds
• dyno break-in procedures
Instead of sourcing each component individually, the Griffin Motorsports Break-In Bundle provides a complete lubrication solution in one package making it easier than ever to protect your engine investment.
Don’t risk your engine with the wrong lubricants or incomplete break-in preparation.
