Helping a family member buy a new Corolla Cross. The model and color combo they want is over 200 miles away.
I understand there are 2 schools of thought when it comes to breaking in an engine:
1. Modern engines do not require a break in
2. All engines require break in which can be accomplished by periodic jack rabbit starts and working the engine hard for the first few hundred miles. Is this true? Can anyone provide instructions on how to break in an engine, especially if you have a 200 mile drive from the dealership?
We also plan on having the first oil change before 1000 miles and then another after 2000 miles.
