Break in's over!
Look out cook out! Now to change the shift indicator warning..... I was thinking that turning it off entirely is the best idea. I've been level headed, without babying the engine during this first 1K mi. My revs would approach and sometimes top 4K without going more than 4200 rpm during spirited shifts. I feel pretty good about the restraint that I displayed. Felt that pushing it a little was a good thing however. Contemplating an oil change tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Heh, after babying mine, the first redline shift was @1,004 miles last weekend. Such a sweet sound, like a well-tuned inline 4 and at least as smooth.
Might as well shut off the light, it blinks at redline regardless. What oil and filter will you use? I'm switching to Redline 0W-20, what the TRD-prepped celebrity race cars use. Still undecided on which filter, tho. |

I know routine service is included in our cars, but I don't let anyone else touch my cars. Call it bonding, justifiable paranoia or just the pleasure of working on the car, I'd rather do it myself. |
