My 05 Black Asphalt 6 speed should arrive later this week. Any technical guys out there with some sound advice?
Thanks Steve
Thanks Steve
Pretty much the exact same method I usually use on my cars. But... if you can't resist temptation and drop your foot in it a few times, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it either. Most guys who put new LS6 motors in their SCCA T1 class Z06s just take them straight to the track with zero break in.Donna & John said:Now, I'm sure there will be folks that will disagree with the following, but here is what I would do....
For the first five hundred miles, take it easy. No WOT blasts or revving the engine up at 5k or more on the tach.
Drive at various speeds and conditions; don't use cruise control for extended periods. The real key here is variablility.... some steady cruising and daily driving in traffic under a variety of conditions is best. Running errands is also real good as it heat cycles things real well. If you are going to do most of your miles on the highway, then vary your speed alot and don't use the cruise control.
After 500 miles, do an oil change. Now, your engine is broken in and you can do some WOT blasts and drive it however you want.
At 3,000 miles, do another oil change. From here on out change at about 6,000 miles OR when your oil starts to look a medium brown color (like stained oak).
I'm sure some will say this is overkill, but I prefer to err on the conservative side....
Thanks! :thumbsBoosted said:Drive it likle you stole it but change the oil to Amsoil .. I love the stuff and i run it in my 200+mph Turbocharged hayabusa!
