My car had 14km on it whe I picked it up. It was roughly 4km away from a good backroad highway I could properly break it in.Only 100 miles? :eyebulge:
Dealer told my father to drive his C7 however he wanted, said there was no break in period haha I assumed Ford would be a little more cautious with an engine like this with forged internals and the like.
I went second gear:
4-6k rpm with full throttle/deceleration
3.5-6.5 same
3-7 same
2.5-7.5 same
2-8k same deceleration.
Did that twice. all WOT.
Then for another 20 or so kms I did random WOT pulls in random gears and let natural engine deceleration occur.
That was it. After that I watched my highway driving always varying rpm with fifth and sixth for another 800kms and I was done. But from the first day the vehicle saw 8k.
