Actually, I remember somewhere in our manual that there actually is a break in period. It says don't keep the engine at the same rpm or speeds for an extended time. I forget what else it said but it is written somewhere in our manual. I wish I had sport+. Don't know if sport for my is 300 makes a difference from normal mode driving.

While there is a break-in procedure, Lexus says it is optional on any new Lexus.

And not an IS driver but I do this all the time - I normally end up driving around in Eco for a while and when I switch to Sport S+. it blows my mind away at how different of a car it can become on the fly!

The engine of your new Lexus vehicle is made with industry-leading precision and quality. As a result, the break-in procedures listed in the Owner's Manual for a brand-new Lexus are optional
