g'day
At idle there is insufficient oil-throw off to lubricate the pistons, rings and camshaft lobes when the oil is cold and prolonged idling should therefore be avoided.
In the initial driving period u should accelerate the car several times from 60 to 80 kmph in top gear at full thorttle(automatics in 2nd at lower speed). this will provide sufficient gas loading to build up pressure behind the top rings to ensure gas tight sealing against the cylinder walls.
Prolonged high speeds and low speed lugging should be avoided.
To much of running constant speeds is bad for bedding-in.
BAsically vary the speed and revs all the time, do not push it to hard or to soft.
cheers
