Did John Deere actually refer to it as "break in" oil or was it just a lighter weight? Dad-in-law ran into the same problem with a D17 as you did on your 830. Ended up letting it run for a while with Chem12 added to the crankcase oil to break up the glaze - soldiers on to this day.

We used to use 5W30 to break in overhauled engines, now we just don't bother, and change the oil after a couple days, hard use. A new engine doesn't really need "break in", manufacturing process results in much tighter tolerances and new alloys don't allow for much wear.
