Default Break- in period???

What did you do for your break-in period? I continue to hear conflicting views on this subject so I will base my decision on what my fellow S4 owners have done.

Thanks

Default Can I still play?

Break-in info is actually in your manual. Which is...for the first 600 miles, do not use full throttle, avoid high engine speeds, and do not drive faster than 2/4 of max speed. Yep, that means keep it under 107 From 600 to 1000, RMP's can slowly be increased.

The general consensus is to keep it under 4000 RPM's for the first 1000 miles. Also, make sure to vary RPM's. Try not to run the same RMP for an extended period of time.

don't bog. bogging is worse than high revs during break-in
