^ he's right....

that article makes a LOT of sense... however...

NOONE gets a car with no miles on it... period... I got mine new with 116... I've seen MUCH worse than that but at the very least the first 20 mi. are GONE.. which leaves his method as nothing but a good way to toast your engine...

Unless you're having a motor built for you and installing it yourself... this process will NEVER happen...

I'd stick to whatever the manufacturer recomends... they have spent a LOT more time on engine's then that guy could ever... and they also get WAY WAY more complaints/returns if what they say doesn't fly.

That guy is pretty autonomous... he's got NO responsibility to provide accurate or correct info... Not saying he's bs'ing but I AM saying that if you F up your motor because of what he said there's no recourse... if you follow the book and it F's up then it's the dealers' problem NOT yours.

As I said I got my car with 116 miles on it... I went through the most babiing break in you could imagine... NEVER EVER EVER went over 60 NOT ONCE... and kept the revs down and drove it like that for 1000 miles... after that I stopped paying attention to top speed but still went pretty easy on the car... after it had about 2k (no need to go this long) I started gradually beating on it a little more...

that motor had over 150k on it when the car got totalled and it ran STRONG... no smoke no problems nothing... it was a dream..

So I'd stay follow your manual CLOSELY.
