That's always a possibility. Some 20 years ago when I was in tech school, an engine performance instructor swore by breaking in a vehicle how you plan to drive it. If you don't give it a little love, the rings won't seal. On the other hand, I have had other "experts" say the exact opposite and needed to follow break-in procedures. I can tell you from my experience building HD motors, I never follow the break-in instructions. they don't allow for proper ring seating, IMO. At 10k miles on the build, the motor is still breaking in. Performance is much better than the first 1k miles. Doesn't noticeably use oil.

I have a 2019 2.7 that I bought new with about 58,000 miles on it now. I run OLM to less than 10% each time using Amsoil SS oil. I currently have 5,000 miles on my current oil and the OLM is at about 10%. I checked the oil and noticed it was a quart low, not even reading on the dipstick. Put a quart in and brought it back up to the hash marks.
