No Fish Oil

I read in the owners manual of my 2013 Suzuki GW250 (Made in China) that the brake-in oil was NOT normal oil. It supposedly was special oil only for the purpose of break-in. Or perhaps it was normal oil with an additive specifically for break-in, not really sure. It was my first new bike so I assumed all manufactures used special oil but perhaps not. This may explain why some report a funky smell when changing first oil on a CB. I didn't notice any weird smell when I first changed my TT250 oil but I didn't intentionally smell it either.

Does anyone know if there are manufacturers that use a special break-in oil or not?
