1000 mile break in? Wow! That's discipline. Took me about 3 miles on my new car before I let it rip to redline and rowed the gears.

I think most new car smells are "normal" but use your head. If you see smoke or it keeps lingering for too long take a peak under the hood and see if you see any smoke.

There are a lot of theories on engine break in. However, it's true a majority if not all production vehicles are broken in from the factory. Every car is put to the test at the end of production and through the system check it gets a good break in.

1000 miles is definitely over kill but hey it shouldn't hurt the car either.
