Is the break-in period really 1K miles? Seems pretty long.

I gave mine around 1250 miles. That is just my own spot where I felt the car was pretty much broke in.

The way you own the car is more important than the milage in my opinion.

Warming up, warming down and being mechanically senstive throughout it's life will help more than a slow break-in and then insenstive thrashing through the rest of it's life.
