Proper Engine Break-in

[Jinba ittai]

Break it in like you're going to drive it.

That’s certainly not my interpretation, so the manual must not be that clear.

So I've got a somewhat unique situation, though it is more common in the U.S. My drive home from the dealer will be 750 miles!

Since these are the recommendations from the factory, they seem like the best we will get.

Regarding the following statement, I could use some help/info "Don’t get on motorway and do very long distances at same rpm - vary speed or gears to allow engine to bed in at different revs". Highway speeds will mostly be in the 70-80mph range, but what I don't know is this...

• How many RPM is that in 6th gear in Tour mode?
• How many RPM is that in 5th gear in Tour mode?
• I assume 4th gear would get me well above the 4,000 RPM threshhold.

Appreciate any answers or advice on making my trip while adhering to the break-in guidelines. This is a 12-hour trip under normal driving conditions and unfortunately I will need to make it in a single day.

Just relax and drive it.
