If you build a new engine and don't run it out at all in the first 1200 miles, it will likely fail catastrophically. Luckily, Nissan does this for you.

I really don't see what the big deal is. So you take it easy for the first month, B-F-D. Doing that CERTAINLY won't hurt, and it could help. Driving the crap out of it right away certainly COULD hurt. I say it's worth it to take it easy even if there is even a slight chance it will help in the long run. I want this car to last for a long time.

Read up on piston seating/sealing.

Your engine comes from the factory usually 80% broken in. If you don't do a pull, you are hoping Nissan got it right.

The vast majority of oil consumption cases on the 350 were due to failure to seat piston rings at the factory, and then consumers taking it easy as directed. The 370 had similar oil consumption issues...likely the same cause.

Oh, I've done quite a bit of reading about things like this in the past, and this is a lot like the oil discussion you are having over on the other thread. I've owned several vehicles in my life and never ever had one single engine problem. Not one, including my 2004 Murano that has 160,000 miles on it. So I'll just do it my way, and you do it your way. There is no solid proof one way is 100% ultimately better than the other. If you think there is, then by all means follow it. If I get engine problems with my way, then shame on me and Nissan.

You're not supposed to "take it easy"; you're supposed to avoid holding a constant engine speed...

Rev up and coast down should build vaccum and help seal the piston rings.

Zero oil consumption on any new motor I've broken in.

That's what a pull and drop is.....
