Default RE: dle 20 break in

too much oil can be a problem. Bearings have a clearance. The engine designer specifies the oil ratio to achieve a desirable oil film thickness under the design load. More oil does nothing but get squished out of the bearing. On hot surfaces it simply leaves heavy residue behind. not desirable.
The specified oil ratio for an engine is specified for a reason. Stick to it.
