The only thing I don't like about this forum is that it takes time away from my Wikipedia readings. Thank you all.

Even specialized cars indicate in their manuals to do the standard light, varied driving, in addition to other specifics based on the engine configuration.
For example, the Ford Shelby GT500 has "a feature to limit supercharger boost pressure and engine speed to 4,000 rpm for the first five consecutive miles of vehicle operation or 50 engine start/warm up cycles." (Shelby GT500 Supplemental manual). The Nissan GT-R, despite being a hand-built specialized motor and already undergoing a thorough break-in at the factory, still requires you to follow a routine break-in procedure that does not call for any extreme vehicle engine speeds. There is merit to the "harder" break-in procedure, but I do not think it applies as much to modern engines from the factory. Especially in instances where the manufacturers' engineers have indicated such. Last edited by cenix; 02-12-2015 at 01:50 AM.. |
