On sports tuned engines I baby em 1500 miles. 55 to 65mph. 4700rpm max.
Then I set up as many track days as I can fit in to begin my break in process. 1st I bring it to a steady 100mpf for 2 track days Then 115mph for 2 more track day Then a steady 130mph for 2 more track days. Then a steady 145mph with a push to top speed a few times. All my sports cars had the capability of hitting 160+mph. Once its gone thru this process n as close to 3500mi as possible. I do an oil change n fluid upgrade to UHP fluids n MOBIL 1 OIL. When I get my Z.@I will be confused on this part. Not sure to go with ester oil or go with my traditional MOBIL1? |
