I've heard about the engines being run in in the factory but was unsure if this was the case. On the flip side if you take delivery of a HSV you are told to basically get rid of the first tank of fuel as fast as possible (ie thrash it) as if you baby it the fuel economy won't be as good as it could be. has alot to do with the computer "learning" your driving style.
my car is being Dyno tuned from factory (after some mods) and was really concerned with it being on a dyno with 10k's on the clock.
So bascially your saying you can push it but don't thrash it for the first 1000k's or so?
And does the 1500k free service have an oil change? if so would there be using a different oil for that first 1500k's
Cheers fellas.
