How to break in my new 370Z Nismo?

eastfl · 05-30-2010, 02:07 PM

Hey. I just brought home my new 2010 370Z Nismo on Friday and the salesman told me to stay under 3,000 rpms for the first 1,000 miles. Is that good advice? Are there other things I should be doing to break it in?

Thanks.

1. Get a full tank of gas.
2. Put the car in neutral.
3. Mash the gas, and keep it redlined until you have used up most of the fuel.

That way the engine knows who is boss, and what you expect of it.

Do that and do not keep the rpm at a constant rpm all the time... After it's done, Get an oil change.

That's it that's all... lock this lock...lol

Plenty of threads on this topic. If a keyword is too small (and sometimes not easy to search, we may allow such discussion). But I just searched "break in" and got all these results.
