[quote=Anonymous]Read the owner's manual for your particular car, specifically the section on new vehicle break-in. Some cars require no special treatment apart from letting the engine oil circulate for 30 - 6o seconds before driving off, and driving gently until the oil is fully warmed up. Others limit top speed, aggressive passing maneuvers, and maximum engine rpm until a certain mileage target is hit. Some, like BMW M cars, additionally require a relatively early break-in oil and filter change, others have no special break-in oil change interval. The engineers who designed your vehicle know you should treat it for maximum longevity, and their guidance in that regard is contained in your owner's manual in the sections about break-in and periodic maintenance.
