dont rev it too high...i would say half of the redline for at least 500 miles. also DO NOT put synthetic oil in while breaking it in. it is important to "wear" while breaking it in. this will make the rings and cyliners not burn oil later.

Beat the piss out of it here and there so the rings seat properly...then change the oil after 1000 miles.

If you want the car to be "healthy" for a long time, I wouldn't beat on it! You don't need to do anything special to break it in, just drive it in the same manner you would any other car.

Seat the rings properly and change the oil soon.

Drive it off the lot just like you plan to drive it everyday after that.

Drive it normal, Don't rev it , or race every grandma you see. Take it easy for a bit.

you should take it easy for the first 2500 miles and not over rev it or do burn outs or even race it until about this time
