Q... I just don't believe in 'pre-seasoned'* but I don't believe it is necessary to season a new pan any more than twice if it's a polished pan. And, no, never use any more than 400F to season in an over. One hour is fine. Matter of fact, you can tell when it's done and it doesn't take an hour... you'll know when.

* I shall wash it with hot soapy water and scrub it with steel wool and season it myself with vegetable shortening. Then, first pan will be bacon ans I shall save the grease.

And, yes, I will report as I certainly appreciate all the posts and knowledge imparted herein.
