That would be good. It sounds like people usually break them in for about 200 feet. [sm=gears.gif]

i believe you mentioned that blue

i was told also to let mine break in but i don't understand what they mean by letting the car cool down every single time. go back to them and ask them to explain it more and by the time you get an answer that makes any sense the car will have cooled down all the way

Doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about. The break-in period is merely to make sure nothing is screwed up, so you're not causing more damage if it is.
