Is there a procedure for breaking in gears? I tried searching, but I didn't come up with much. I have heard you have to change your gear oil after the first 500 miles? Is this so, because I bought Royal Purple to put in it, and at $12 a quart, I think I might get something else not so expensive to put in for the first 500 miles.

when I got my gears, my guy told me - to granny shift, and to always observe the 50 for 50 rule, which is no more then 50mph for the first 50 miles.

Atleast 3 heat cycles. Drive for 10-15 minutes normally. Let the car cool, repeat.

After the 3rd, RIP AWAY!
