Things that make you go hmmmmmm.
Some people are very OCD about their new vehicle's "break-in period." Others, not so much. The JL owners manual says this about break-in:
So then I was thinking about out-of-state purchases (Koons and others) which will likely result in a long drive home. In my case, if I go with Koons, I'll have a 900-mile drive home, and almost 90% of that drive will be on I-95 (speed limit 70 mph).
Perhaps the answer is simply "stay off the interstate" for the first 300 miles.
Ready? Discuss!

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
