ok so i just finally got my users manual in the mail today..................
after reading it, it says to keep the car under 4,000 rpm for the first 1k miles.
a lot of people have told me to drive in all ranges of the rpm with speed limit accordingly.
ok so which one is right??
i guess i took my friends' advice and started driving to redline in first (the little light showed up indicating i was in the 8,000 rpm, which i did on accident a few times). is this bad for my engine??
i also heard get an oil change at 1,000 miles, or 1,500 miles or the 2,000 miles.

I did read a lot of the threads on this site about this issue.
and a lot of you guys contradict each other..
so i have no idea what to believe.
