Let it rip

You'll have to keep it under 350 rpm for 350,000 miles.

I try to keep mine between 80-95 mph strictly for the gas savings.

You need to blow through the left lane on I-12 going at least 85 for approximately 3000 miles or so.
Going to take you several trips. Get to it baw.

My manual said to not drive at a constant speed too long for some initial mileage. Can't remember the mileage but it was somewhere between 1,500 and 3,000, I think. I think this relates to seating the piston rings properly or something.

Chevy Cruze, probably not
Porsche 911 Turbo, definitely yes

Heat cycle the engine a few times. Vary the RPMs. Make a couple of Full Throttle pulls. Don't hold it at Full Throttle for long periods of time.

Leave it in NOLA and it’ll be broken in quick.

Did you pull the trigger and get that GR86 for your kid?

How TF is that supposed to work if you travel to go pick up a new vehicle? Be crazy to drive 700 miles varying the speed.

Yea, unfortunately it’s being delivered to a dealership in Missouri.

It was kind of a pain, especially if you're on the highway a lot. I am not, but I remember driving from Atlanta to Troy, AL during the break-in period and really having to make an effort to not just get stuck at 55mph on all those state highways.

I give it a couple hundred miles then send it. Drive it like it's going to be driven. I change the oil at like 2500 or 3k the first time also. Then 4-5k after that.

Keep it off the rev limiter for the first 20 miles or 20 minutes, whichever occurs first.
