One nice thing....threw some MP3's on a flash drive, plugged it in and the car audio knew the device and started playing the tunes instantly

no sudden stops This is so you don't warp the brake rotors
no constant speeds So the piston rings seat properly. Varying RPMs is recommended on all new motors
no fast acceleration That's a joke, right?

Have fun with it. The varying speeds will take care of itself during stop and go commutes. Just don't floor it until you have 500 miles or so. Curious, what is the recommended first oil change? I have always done mine on new cars or new/rebuilt motors at 500 miles.

500 miles? Really? What's the logic behind that?

[KevinD]

I was taught when I was younger that you should change oil in a rebuilt/new engine or a new car at 500 miles due to initial wear of bearings etc. Every vehicle I've ever bought new has had more than 200,000 miles on it, and the engines I built never spun bearings. Though I have holed a block or two and broken several pistons.

One thing I find interesting, is that my wife's car came from the factory with full synthetic oil, yet the recommended interval is still 3,000 miles. I've always changed synthetic at 6,000 to 7,000 miles.

that's kinda like the fast acceleration part you were questioning from my post.....
