I did, but I also used to run the part of GM that wrote the service manuals for engines and transmissions, as well as managed the engine and transmission remanufacturing programs, so I had first hand detail on what COULD happen if you don't. Doesn't ALWAYS happen, but it COULD.

At the point that you decide you want to unleash the beast, get your engine oil changed first. Removes any minute shavings that may occur during the break-in period. You don't want any shavings flying around your crankcase at 4,000 rpm.
