More then one opinion on here.. Get it warmed up to op temp, give it a few up and down runs, let it eat..

Oh and how i did mine was basically just filled it until my dipstick said full.. started it, let it run for 15 - 20 seconds, shut it off, Checked the oil (had to fill it up quite a bit more) then began my break in process (just pretty much ran the nuts off it)

I am not saying this is the correct way to do it, but im pretty sure doing it that way would be better than trying to break in the motor, with the oil being about a half court low.
