The Proper Break In
My '09 Civic is 3 weeks old now and I have gone past the 600 mile "old driver" recommendation from the owner's manual, but I'm wondering if that is all that needs to be done to have a healthy engine break-in.
If there is anyone that knows the do's and don't's of the break-in period for a Civic, please teach me (and others) the proper way.
You're comments are appreciated!

I babied my car to about 800 miles.....then that was it. So far so good ( 2007 EX Coupe with 14,500 miles to date)
Good luck with the car, hope you find it awesome like me.
(BTW- the engine sounds great at 6000RPM+ , now you can try it)

Re: The Proper Break In
just drive normally! the car will not fully break in and give you the most power and gas mileage til about 20k miles.
