I find it strange that the owners manual break-in recommendation states not to go over 55 mph (as most owners' manuals do). Isn't break in more about engine RPM? At 55 mph in 5th or 6th gear you would be well under the 4000 rpm max recommended in the manual anyways. Anyone know why the vehicle speed might be important? I've always followed the RPM and other guidelines but see no issue going 65 - 75 mph during break in as long as I don't hold the engine speed constant too long as many do during freeway cruising. I don't want to start another break-in debate but never understood the 55mph rule as long as you're not cruising for a long time.
