Default What is the break-in mileage?

I've just surpassed 1k miles and not sure if I can go fast on the freeway yet.

You could have gone fast the whole time. What do you think break-in means?

Default It's in the owner's manual

1,000 miles (1,600 km).

The part that the manual won't tell you: For a good break-in, you need to vary speeds and not cruise at constant speed or revs. You should use the engine throughout its range -- you don't want to wind it out too much, but you shouldn't just coast along and using your cruise control.

Default I "never follow..."

...break in procedures. My motto: "Drive it like it's stolen, and get rid of it before the warranty expires."
