Not RPM limited... general rules:

1) After install, drive for 30 minutes at highway speeds to get the gears up to operating temp followed by a full cool down of at least 3 hours parked.

2) repeat the 30 minute highway drive/3 hour cool down a total of 3 times.

3) No burn outs/hard launch/hard shifts for first 500 miles...

After break in I switched to Motul 300 synthetic gear oil...
