This method is to drive it like you stole it from the moment you receive the car. [http://www.mototuneusa.com/break\_in\_secrets.htm](http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm) Eah… kinda makes sense, but then again, the engineers know what they’re doing when they wrote the owner’s manual… What say you TNC? Discuss! –Gabe ---

just don’t forget to do an oil change soon after the break-in just to get rid of whatever metal shavings or particles ---

I’ll be following this break in method after I get the new engine in my car… I have to agree with DJPyro, I believe that the engineers wrote it only to break in the drivetrain. Not the engine. Or the best way, is dyno break in. ---

Keep the oil that came with the car in the engine for as long as the auto maker suggests. Oil from the factory is formulated for break-in. ---

Well, if your worried about drivetrain and everything… instead of a dyno, just pop it in neutral to break in the engine? Oh Nvm, didnt finish reading his write-up… you need it to have load. Poor Me. ---
