How do/did you break-in your new truck?

Drive a mile change the oil. Do that for the first 20 miles. Then drive 5 miles and change the oil. Do that for the next 20 miles. Once you hit 40 miles do a full fluid flush and put new fluids in.

 

That procedure in the manual is what I followed, plan on doing my first Oil Change at about 1500 miles.

 

Agree with that in the manual but do not agree with 10K intervals.

 

Mines 4 days old. Drove less than spirited for the first 100 miles just because I didn't really have anywhere I needed to go. Today I drove the crap out of it. Floored it at each stop, passed everyone in front of me. Lots of gear changing trying to "train" the transmission how I drive. Went off roading on some steep hills, definetly didn't baby it. Just the opposite.

 

I am not really crazy about the idea of 10K changes either.

 

Over a year later and we're still talking about when to change your oil. Ahh....TW how I've missed you.

 

HALP

 

Guys halp me....my dipstick is stuck

 

Why did he kill that poor bird? I'm calling PETA.

 

I drove home from the dealer (it's like a 10 miles drive) and figured it was time to change my oil. I was trying to night drop, n then anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? So I get real excite and try to excalibur! Damn thing is stuck!

I drive the snot out of her. I work in the forestry industry, and I'm on the dirt everyday. She's got a few dings and scratches but that's why I got it in the first place. It's a truck!
