The break in schedule in the owners manual says:

During the first 1,200 miles follow these recommendations to obtain maximum engine performance and ensure the future reliability and economy of your new vehicle.

Avoid driving for long periods at constant speed, either fast or slow.
Do not run the engine over 4,000 rpm.
Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
Avoid quick starts.
Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
humm i didn't not read this or heed the warning and redlined my car twice the first day i got it. I have been driving at variable speed/revs in stop and go traffic for the first 600 miles which is where I am now.

outside of those two redlines I have taken it to 5 or 6K RPM probably about 10 times. How much should I stress about the issues I may have caused?

what is a quick start?

thanks
