I'm sure the courses auto manufactuerers offer to their mechanics don't have the instructors telling them to tell their customers to ignore the owner's manual and just drive it the way you want to from the get go. Now really think hard about this, if it were true, then the owner's manual would state that a break-in period is not required, yes?
