Well I respectfully disagree with their statement that break in oil is a gimmick. It lacks friction modifiers to allow slight wearing of components so they all seat properly. But I am glad you got an answer on hours to break in.
I know the 100hr mark is for the larger 80X machines that are rebuilt with Lister Petter engines in them. If you are getting conflicting info, you can always reach out to Yanmar directly and see what they have to say. Thats what I would do here.
