Default No break-in period for Nissan in general??

I bought my 370Z about 5 days ago and when I asked the salesman how long is the break-in period, he said "all nissan vihicles do not need to be broken in".

So with the excitement of the new Z, I kinda drove it like I stole it a few times and redlined it quite few times and probably hit 100 few times also.

now the vehicle has about 450 miles, come to thing about it, I should of let the vehicle break in for the first 1000 miles.


What do you fellow Z owners do with break in?

Will my ludacris reving hurt the engine?

Thanks!

New Car Break In

The infamous "break-in" period.

Break-In a New Car

Break in - drive it "hard" or "be gentle"?

Just don't go 140MPH after you've had a ton of beer at some bar and you and your Z should be fine

If you spend $40000 on something, it REALLY helps to read the manual.

Heat cycled mine twice then let her loose. At 11K it used no oil. Now at 14K it is supercharged and still uses no oil...

It's ludicrous. Ludacris is an illiterate rapper who pretends to be a musician
