The thought is to vary the RPMs as opposed to making sure it never reaches a certain point.
I didn't do it strictly by the book, but did keep it under the recommended 4500 RPM for the first several hundred miles, with only a few exceptions. The sad thing is between a short commute, all the hours at work, and a vacation, I haven't even hit the recommended 1200 miles yet and I've had it almost 3 months. It seems to be loving sport mode as much as I am though.  |
The new motors are probably better. Especially the higher end cars but you need the parts to wear together at low RPMs with break in oil so the rings will set in the Pistons and it will get proper compression and not burn oil. But like I said the new motors are probably different than overhauled ones.
It could be they do it in the factory. I believe the factory does it with tractors.
