I would like to know how many kilometers you've been told to be the break-in period, and what's the proper way of doing it? Do you drive city, highway? Are you not allowed to accelerate past a certain rpm? I hear a lot of different things... can anyone help?

1000km is the norm....5000 is a real break-in to some ppl...

as long as u keep ur rpms moving...and not stationary at say 3000rpms for prolonged periods of time ur ok...
use a variety of speeds and rpms...downshift...upshift...

and thats what its all about!

5000 is good
8000 to be super safe

Blah.. there is no break in period really anymore these days. In the old days there used to be a lot of friction between the cyliners and the engine block, but now days, even brand new, it's quite slippery.

Do 1,000km to be absolutely safe... keep it at a low RPM. But after that you're good to go. And yeah, don't do your 1st oil change till 8,000km.
