Break in w/Long Drive Home?
What do people suggest for break in treatment? I start with a 400 mile drive home.

Drive under 85 mph mark, NO revving over 4500RPM and just enjoy your new car!!!

I heard it is not good to use cruise control or go at the steady speeds. Search for "braking in" i think there is more info.

'03 G500, '13 G63, '17 GLS63,
Make sure you vary the engine speeds. You will have to do a bit of downshifing and upshifting, but it would be a good opportunity to just get it over with.
