Break-in Period

Break-in Period
I asked someone at the service department about breaking in a new mazda 3. He said just to vary the RPMs. Does anyone else have anything more specific about engine care?

Revolutionary Break-in Technique
Don't look now, but this dude has sparked a MAJOR debate on several motorcycle sites concerning break-in techniques:

Keep in mind that he isn't selling ANYTHING. He's a bit long-winded, but read around on his site - watch out, he'll tear up your preconceptions of breaking in an engine!

I hope my previous owner broke it in right. I always worry about that with preowned cars but it's out of my hands now. I drive it like it's stolen most of the time, love those high revs, and I swear it it's way stronger now than when I bought it at 34k miles. Bet my top end stays cleaner anyway.

I know this isnt a mazda 3 but it applies to most cars anyways.
When we test drove a mitsubishi lancer ralliart they told us not to redline it and that just not to keep it at a constant RPM like jeffro said.
