im one of the very few who floored it with 0 miles off the showroom floor.

I believed in the "run it hard to set the pistons" theory. so when I got it, first thing I did was drove it like I stole it on my way home.

at 40 miles, I changed my oil and the oil was still a bit clear but there were a lot of metal flakes in the oil as well. I changed it early only for the purpose of removing those metal flakes that come from new assembly engines.

im now at 475 miles and I just checked my oil, I am about 1/4th from the top hole on the dipstick. I am not sure how far up the dipstick my last oil change was. Didnt check. Just saw the picture on page 5, My oil level is where it should be.

i'll update at 1,000 miles.
