engine break-in contradiction
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. |
