I gave up on the break-in guidelines around 400 miles. I haven't gone even close to redlining it yet, but keeping it under 4k rpm's seemed tedious and overkill. I don't launch, redline, or even "race shift" up to 80 mph. I do a couple 20-60 sprints in 2nd/3rd, and 40-80 sprints in 3rd/4th, but that's about it.

I'm probably changing my oil next week. After my dealer's service department proved to be stupid, I'm worried about taking it there for my 1200 mile oil change, but I want to use Nissan Ester until I switch to synthetic at 3500.
