Here is some info copied off there web site. Now remember these oils MIGHT not work in a listeroid due to the cold oil temps even in a hard working roid . Any way that is my opinion. Just posted this FYI.................

Break-in Plus, Special Purpose Engine Oil
Break-in Plus is a special purpose engine oil developed to be used in rebuilt or remanufactured engines and new John Deere engines during the initial break-in period.
This next generation oil is formulated to provide a controlled environment for piston rings and cylinder liners to establish a good surface mating for maximum performance and long engine life. At the same time, Break-In Plus provides the necessary wear protection for valve train and gears.
Application
Break-In Plus is designed to be used in rebuilt or remanufactured engines and new John Deere engines for the initial oil service interval. Operate the engine under various conditions, particularly heavy loads with minimal idling, to help seat engine components properly.
Break-In Plus delivers performance and protection for an initial service interval equal to that of our premium Plus-50 II. During the initial operation of a new or remanufactured engine with Break-In Plus, change the oil and filter between a minimum of 100 hours and a maximum of up to 500 hours. The 100 hour minimum applies to all new or remanufactured engines, regardless of Tier. The maximum service interval is the same as the service interval recommendations for Plus-50 and/or Plus-50 II, up to 500 hours. Check your operator manual for the maximum interval recommendation.
Features and Benefits
· Contains special additives to control piston ring and liner seating without scuffing
· These additives allow rings and liners to seat while protecting valve train and gears from wear
· Piston rings and liners establish a good wear pattern for maximum performance and extended engine life
Break-In Plus provides two major differences from traditional Break-In oil
· Meets the oil requirements for Interim Tier 4 (IT4) engines and supports all legacy engines
· Service drain interval up to 500 hours (1)
John Deere Break-In Plus Engine Oil can be used for all John Deere diesel engines at all emission certification levels.
(1) Always follow Operator Manual
Initial Service Intervals
The initial break-in service interval of a new or remanufactured wet sleeve engine with Break-In Plus must go at least 100 hours to assure the surface mating of the rings and liners has had an opportunity to occur. The 100 hour minimum applies to all new or remanufactured wet-sleeve John Deere diesel engines, regardless of Tier certification level.
The maximum initial oil service interval when using Break-In Plus is the same as the service interval recommendations for Plus-50 II.
