HOw did every one break in there f-body. Under 3 grand for the first 500mi, change oil at 500mi, tranny at 500mi, rear end at 500mi, clutch,brake fluid etc.
Thanks for your time!!!!!!!!!

 

Nope - drove it hard right from the Lot. Changed the oil at 500 miles and that's it. I don't think that cars now-a-days need to be broken in like they did a while ago.

 

Got mine and was easy on it for a little bit then progressively got harder and harder..

it sees the track tonight!!

3700 miles and no oil change yet! (Payday is this weekend so it will be done then!)

 

I was nice for mine for 100 miles or so, then once I knew that everything was cool, I let things loose a couple times before the "recommended, 500 mile break-in period" was over. I never held it at WOT during that time, but I didn't keep revs below 3000, or keep my speed below 55mph either.

The car now has 9500km (almost 6000 miles), it's had one oil change so far (Mobile 1 of course!) and it still runs as strong and smooth as the day I picked it up. IMO, drive it how you're going to drive it --- if a motor is going to blow up, it's usually going to be within the first few miles anyways, otherwise, it's fine.

Hope that helps you out a little. Enjoy your new car!

 

Hey I ambreaking mine in too,I am taking it easy although as some else said I am getting more and more aggresive!U are going to have it for years why not take it easy for a bit?Dont worry about all those fluid changes just the oil and that is a MUST.I plan on one dino oil then to Mobil1.Good luck

 

LoL, brings back memories of doing donuts in the work parking lot in his new c5 back in 97. The car had just been delivered and had 4 miles on it, 5 years later, still runs like a champ.
