ive performed a hard break-in on a brand new honda s2000, vw gti, 2 evo x's all by warming up the engine out of the dealers lot and then proceeding to redline 1st gear, engine break back down to low rpm and repeat 3 times. same with 2nd gear, same with 3rd gear. went home, changed oil to full synthetic and have never burned a drop of oil on either vehicle and they all ran strong
