PCT No. PCT/AU96/00807 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 26, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 26, 1998 PCT Filed Dec. 13, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/22784 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 26, 1997A method of controlling the oil flow rate for an internal combustion engine including: a) defining a break-in period of the engine; b) determining whether the engine is running within the break-in period; and c) varying the oil flow rate for the engine if the engine is running within said break-in period from the oil flow rate for the engine when running under normal conditions outside the break-in period such that the oil flow rate during the break-in period is generally higher than the oil flow rate under normal engine conditions.
