I know, at least 1,000 km's!

Also, from watching your videos you're idling the car too much and the rings are probably not fully seated yet. With the Mobil 1, they might never seat 100%. You're doing exactly opposite of what is intended for a new motor.

Other than the minute or so it takes me to set base timing, I don't idle a new motor for the first 1,000 km either.
