I drove mine out of the dealership and onto the first windy road I could find and went for it... soft break in doesn't work. Opening that can of controversy there.

I took mine to the road course for 2 hours total track time with 800 miles on it. On the OEM oil. Then again a month later, still on the same 5w20.I feel pretty bad because I was driving at the red light one of those assholes in a lifted turbo diesel pick up truck was all revving at me and I couldn't control myself
When the light turned green I gave it some gas and he was still keeping up so then I floored it and just completely gapped him by like a train length!!!
I watched my tachometer just rev all the way up and then i realized "oh crap i only got 650 miles!! :(" hoping nothing got damaged!
At the next light I went the normal speed limit and he did the whole flyby thing. How can I check to make sure nothing got damaged?
I saw ford recommends taking it easy for first 1000 miles. Do you need to keep it under 55 first 1000 miles too?
650 miles?I'll legitimately answer your question. Your fine especially at 650 miles. If anything now is a good time to vary your rpms. The worst thing to do during the break in is lug the engine along.
That happens to me occasionally. The car keeps asking for it. Thanks for being human. I gotta watch it they are hiding everywhere I live.I couldn't control myself
No worries, I raced a crotch rocket on the way home from the dealer, and hit the drag strip at 800 miles. It's fine.I feel pretty bad because I was driving at the red light one of those assholes in a lifted turbo diesel pick up truck was all revving at me and I couldn't control myself
