When is the best time to start pushing the limit of my motor? I just got the car off the lot.. Stil very new. Many says 3,000 miles.. 3 months.. First Oil Change..

So Z experts when is the best time to break it in?

 

read the manual.

 

 

Manual says to stay under 4000 rpms for 1st 1200 miles

 

tnx.. so after 1200 mileage.. i can break it in huh? tnx guys

 

don't rev too high .lol..after about 1200 miles..u can rev it all u want...IMO

 

But I think its different stateside miles? right.. cause u guys use freeway miles.. I live in an island.. And its not base on Freeway miles

 

just take it easy, dont floor it and you be fine.

 

sucks to have to wait, but its worth it, don't ruin your investment by being "hard-headed" good luck

 

I have another question bugging me.. can i at least push the rpm higher just one time.. or do i really have to wait 1200 miles? just very curious

 

its really not that hard to wait i have 1800 miles on my new z and ive stayed under 3000 rpm i love driving it slow and easy let people take long looks at it

 

i love driving slow too so people can stare

 

I follow the instructions in the manual. I know. Call me a rebel!

 

Correct. It would based on Continental United States miles not Guam miles.

 

No. The motor will explode.

 

Just take it easy for a while.

 

I set my rev meter to 4000 RPM but I usually shift around 3000 RPM. Right now I have almost 900 miles. My plan is to take it easy until next spring. There's no point of going fast once it gets cold and wet (Northeast) anyway.

 

I ran mine to 7000rpms on short spurts during the break-in period, just turned 11,000 and runs like a champ. I had many new cars, and have always tested its performance for short durations during it's break-in!!!

 

lol...a random question.....how am i supposed to fit a set of 4 rims with tires on to my 08 Grand touring???? possible??? lol

 

Yes, it will be fine if you go over 4000 rpms in short spurts. Just don't make a habit of it.
