Holy smokes!!!! I just picked up my fully loaded silver RX-8 last night and I have NEVER been so impressed or so happy with a vehicle purchase!! I have been looking for a new car for 7 months and bought this car during my first test drive.

So of course all I want to do go crazy in it but I obviously want to break in the engine properly. I have 94 miles on it and have keeps all the shifts under 6,000 rpm.

Is this too much and roughy how many miles before I can ticket hunting?

The dealer was no help as usual.

 

probably keep it under 6k until 600+ miles. Also don't stay at a constant speed for prolonged periods of time.

 

I would keep it low for 1k miles
but 600 atleast

 

the dealer told me it had no break in period.... so i was running around with the demo car at 9k =/

 

Sorry to be snide, but...

There's this little book that comes with the car called an Owner's Manual. You'll probably find it in the glove compartment.

It covers issues like this...

 

The manual doesn't have everyone elses advice to confuse you j/k
