ok so which one is right??
i guess i took my friends' advice and started driving to redline in first (the little light showed up indicating i was in the 8,000 rpm, which i did on accident a few times). is this bad for my engine??
i also heard get an oil change at 1,000 miles, or 1,500 miles or the 2,000 miles.
I did read a lot of the threads on this site about this issue.
and a lot of you guys contradict each other..
so i have no idea what to believe.

Which do you think is a better authority for giving instructions and recommendations on HOW to properly break-in an engine? Nissan themselves, or "a lot of people"?

 Apparently words from strangers in the internet have more validity than Nissan themselves.
