How to drive on the Highway during Break-in? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm probably going to take delivery of my car this week.

Given that I'm working from home and it's winter it's going to take me forever to hit the break in mileage. I might need to throw in a road trip somewhere just because.

I plan a couple of trips to the coast from SW WA (plus the initial 170 mile drive home). Winding hill will be the perfect way to vary gears and RPM.

The OG had almost peak torque around 3.5k, you didn't need to flog it to get enough pressure for initial break in.
