[QUOTE="jaz13, post: 1181487, member: 24095"] As far as I know, Ford doesn't explicitly specify a break in procedure and modern engines really don't need one. The one thing I did on my long drive home was vary the RPMs every hour. Using the paddle shifters you can lock out the top gears and force the engine to run a higher RPM. I'd drop down to 6th, 7th, or 8th for five or ten minutes every hour. But to be honest, I doubt there is an appreciable difference in power or longevity between an engine that was driven normally from mile zero versus one that employed some kind of break in procedure. Material science and manufacturing tolerances are refined to the point that break in isn't as important as it used to be. [/QUOTE]
