Best Answer

The proper 'break in' for a new car (engine) is not to constantly drive it at one speed for hours on end. Vary your speed and how you drive for the first thousand or so miles. Don't ever run it to the max until you have about 1500 miles on it - avoid jack-rabbit starts and stops - This is an investment you have made and the idea is for it to last at least until it is paid for in 6 or 7 years!
