Jesus.
You guys realize it doesn't take 1000 miles for the rings to seat? Do you remember the test drive when the sales guy told you to nail it? The engines are run before they leave the factory, they are broken-in by the time they hit the dealer lots. |

that is true. when i was deciding on the FRS to choose from the 4 they had on the lot we test drove one and when the sales rep took the wheel first he red lined the car all the way through 4 gears to show me how quick the car was. that one we test drove only have 40 miles on it. so yeah i do believe that a lot of us are driving off the lots with cars that we can assume were driven hard during test drives. when i received my FRS it already had 200 miles on it because it had to be delivered from a different dealer. since i owned it i haven't revd past 4k rpms. im at 930 miles now and almost at the 1000mile mark.

Yes, but what I'm saying is ALL modern cars are broken-in by the time they leave the test dyno at the factory.

I tracked my car right after 1000 miles with break in oil, then changed all fluids after track day.
Not sure if I did any harm to the engine

Yes, but it takes time and heat cycles for the entire drivetrain to properly break in. Yes, most of this is already done for you. There's also a far lesser need to do a real "break in" these days as the tolerances and finishes on mating parts are so much better than decades ago. Finish still doesn't account for heat cycles though. |

Too lazy to read the entire thread, but the way I saw it (in terms of break in and oil changes) I'm going with what the manufacturer has with their schedule. I asked my dealer about doing early fluid changes (engine, tranny and LSD) and he said just follow the schedule. I don't know whether it's because he didn't care, or he was busy at the time. (Although I believe it was just good advice, he's been very helpful every time I've asked about or for something). But in the end, if one of those parts fail, that's what warranty is for. And I sure as hell cant be put at fault for following the manufacturer's service schedule.

Definitely! I had the oil changed at 900 miles and I HIGHLY recommend it. The engine runs beautifully...I have no torque like the rest of us Lol.

The Dyno at the factory seems to break in the bearings and cams like any new engine needs. Sounds like this is going over 4000k RPM
