Just to make them look like idiots, ask them to tell you where in the
book it says that you should change it at 40% and then find a new
place to get your car serviced at because if that shop hoses you on
this, you can imagine what else they will be taking you to the
cleaners on.

You should leave the break in oil as long as possible but no sooner
than 15%. If you can leave it at 10 or 5 the better.
