Wow, welcome to the party.
Not taking side with anyone, but just want to point out that the manual is not written by the engine's engineers; nor is it created from scratch for each car. A lot of text not particular to a specific vehicle is carried over from manual to manual. Furthermore, to quote the most recent discussion in another thread, the manual also discourages bogging down the car during operation. The manual for the very car which automatically engages skip shift at 16MPH to shift to 4th gear. Seem like a contradiction to anyone else?
I used a hard break in method on my car, not because Darin said to, or because he listed creds which may or may not be true; but because those claims peaked my interest enough to do my own research. During which I found numerous other articles and claims that back up statements in this thread, as well as the alleged credibility the OP claims to have.
Additionally, if you do go through the entire thread, you'll notice that Darin doesn't once belittle or degrade anyone who chose to follow the manual's instructions.
Just some food for thought.
