Darin,

After picking it up from the dealer, how many miles of doing the break-in do you advise before getting the oil change?

I know you said to do hard accelerations as far as up to 90mph, but is their a certain rpm that we shouldnt hit or stay at??

o and on as far as warming the engine up should we let it sit in idle for 10-15 mins or is it better to just go and drive it around the city doing 20-30 mph for 10-15 mins, before you start doing the break-in???

Yeah, i know your probably thinking is their anything else i want to ask.. lol, but i really want to know what im doing and get it RIGHT the first time.. So the car will perform at its BEST!!
