Default Break In Period

So what are the rules for break in again? I think I recall no hard acceleration for 1,000 miles. What else?

See the Owner's Manual, page 109. The miles look odd at first, then realized it was due to the conversion from metric.

Default Change your oil as well!

I would also recommend that you change your oil at about 1k miles to flush out all of the metal deposits.
