Anyone else still doing a strict 1,000-mile break-in period? Or am I in the minority?

I babied mine for the first 1000 miles. Then I had the oil changed and finally opened it up. Now I change the oil every 6k miles with full synthetic and have the tires rotated. It’s a brand new car, you’re going to have it a hell of a lot longer than 1000 miles. If nothing else it’s a great excuse to take it everywhere while you break it in.

I am curious to know where you found that 1,000 mile break-in period.

It's in the handbook.
