I use Walmart also. But I buy the oil and filter before hand. That way I know they don't overfill because I only provide them with 3 quarts.

Back from vacation. Will call dealer on Monday as there is no update from them (engine has not arrived I presume)
Whoo whoo I get a new engine too at 50,000kms!

If it makes you feel any better it's probably been autocrossed at the shipping ports and rail yards and there's a good chance you're probably the 9th or 23rd person to fart in the seat of your new car since it left the factory in Thailand.
Proper break in procedure wasn't the cause of my engine knocking. Although it did have the run rich flood out recall done a few years ago by the same dealer that's now replacing the engine.

Don't sweat it - you'll be fine. Keep reading to find out more about what is causing the failures that get a 3A92 engine replaced. It's usually due to cylinder/piston scoring which was attributed to a rich fuel condition. There's a TSB on it somewhere around here.
Found it: TSB: Rich Air/Fuel Ratio at Cold Ambient Temperatures
