Engine break in procedure

[dcgolfdr]

What is the break in procedure for this engine? I am coming from the M3 world, which has very specific instructions for the procedure. This is my first Ford product so I am a noob.
Thanks.

I have never broken in an engine according to procedure and never had a issue. 100 miles and WOT after that.

This is for motorcycles but the same theory applies to all vehicles:

BREAKING-IN

Your vehicle requires a break-in period. Drive your new vehicle at least 100 mi (160 km) before performing extended wide open throttle maneuvers and at least 1,000 mi (1,600 km) before performance or competition conditions.

Note: Vary your speed frequently in order to give the moving parts a chance to break in.

Pretty simple.
Thanks.

I would actually follow the m3 break in procedure,
change all diff/tranny/engine fluid at 1200miles/2000km.

Ford calls for 100mile before WOT

Drive it like you would any day. I agree with MyShelby3425. The only thing I do not do is go above 75mph for that period of time, otherwise, beat the hell out of it. It will hold with no issues.

Digital speedometer ...great I really like that feature. I was reading the manual. My boss track apps doesn't have it .

Whoa? Where did this come from? Is the owners manual online too? Thanks!

I would avoid high RPM use during break in rather than be concerned about speed.

Don't worry, the guy at the dealership who takes the car to refueling will break the engine in for you...

Drive it like you stole it.

Or the guy who picks it up at the dealer for you ;) !!!

That's right "don't worry, I made sure nobody from the dealership thrashed the car"
