I’m trying to get a gauge for what everyone’s break in practices are for their new ride. Please vote or comment with your method and explain why you do what you do.
I will change the oil at 1,500, 3,000, 6,000, 10,000, and every 5k from there. The transmission fluid at 5k, 10k, 20k, 50k, and every 50k from there on.
I know the engine being new there will be lots of metal shavings inside the components. I want to get those out as soon as possible. I will also drive the car like a baby for the first 1,500 miles to and keep her below 80MPH.
Way to much overkill? Probably, but I want to keep this truck for 15 years and fluid is cheap!
