Breaking in:
1. Don't idle any more than is absolutely necessary.
2. Avoid full throttle acceleration
3. When driving on the highway, change speeds regularly. - drive at 55, then 50, then 60. for several minutes at each speed. Longer drives are better than short hops.
4. Don't forget - you are also breaking in your brakes -- avoid hard stops
5. The first couple of hundred miles are the most important. I generally try to put the first 200 miles on in the first weekend.
I get my IS 250 AWD in a couple of weeks and will be following this schedule. It will be my 35 or 36 car, with 22 or 23 purchased new.
