Hmmm... so what are the implications of this? Should we be following the 4K rpm limit for 1500 miles to the letter? Is is good for the engine break in period to rev the engine to 3 or 4k in various gears and allow it to wind down on its own (engine braking)? Or is it best to simply drive it gently for the first 1500 as the owners manual seems to suggest? I want to do the right thing but have never had a car before with such a long suggested break-in period.
Any advice would be appreciated...
