    The days of needing to break in a new vehicle are a thing of the past. The tolerances are extremely tight and well engineered. Used to be you properly break in a motor to get the rings to seat well in the block as well as the other moving parts.

    Broke mine in as per owner's manual, dropped the $hitty oil & filter at 1200, flushed it all again @5k, it now thinks it's a V-8!
    No ATF ck, no U-joint ck no trans TSB needed.

    Hope that helps
    Cheers!
