Read the owners manual. Then decide if you want to open it up. I did what the manufactures stated. Better safe than sorry. Who knows if you do mess something up they might ask if you did proper break-in. If not who knows they might void the warranty.

Good reading here.I watched a Jay leno episode where I think he was driving like a 57 buick or something he got like a mile on it and said she's should be broke in now.And he got into it.Of course he has more money ,and mechanics than most of us here.And that motor ran on a dyno.F%$# it this cars under warranty.If your nervous just drive it a while ,change the oil,and put the hammer down.

As soon as I get mine, I have to leave Michigan to go back to school in Texas. I'm hopingto have a couple hundred miles on it w/in thefew days I'll have it here before leaving. How bad would it be to wait until I got to Texas to change the oil? I'm getting a 2LT but will be changing it out with Mobil One at my first oil change.
