Break In Period?

oh no not a break in thread.

ok this is how it will go:

1) todays engins don't need to be broke in because of better engineering. Drive it like you stole it.

2) The engineers but 1200 miles in the manual for a reason they get paid to know what they are doing go with the manual.

3) just keep it unter 6000rpm and very the RPM's for 1200 miles and you good.

4) All you got to do is change the oil after 500 miles

5) ya but use syn. oil after 500 miles

6) no man you got to wait 10,000miles to change

and so on and so forth.

That's your personal opinion or our own way of breaking in. I am a firm believer of following directions of the highly knowledgeable Nissan Engineers but that's just me.

Here's what Nissan USA want you to follow.

Here's another thread you can read on the same topic: Break-In a New Car

Didn't mean to start a fuss with this thread, I was just curious.

Reason being is if I enjoy my test drive enough at the end of this month to buy one of these things, I want to do it right and I want to know everything I can possible know about the car prior to buying (just like I did for my S2000 and CTS in the past).

Thanks for the info.
