I agree. I'll continue to break in the engines slow, as always....Can't hurt

A lot of the benefit of a slow engine break in is actually allowing proper break in for the transmission and differential. The engine is generally well broken in from the factory. I give it a chance to the seat the rings properly with a couple pulls and engine braking, but after that, the car gets driven gently for 1200 miles or so, and then all fluids are changed.
