Drive it like you stole it. It has always worked for me on everything I have had to break in. Trust me. If you follow my advise. You will have one fast brute. If you baby it. You will end up with a baby.

 

I do the same and had no problems. Every vehicle/atv I have purchased new or built an engine for I get it to operating temp and then pin it. Its either gonna go or blow.

 

i would suggest getting in touch with mike for the anwser....

 

Everyone will have their own opinion. There really is no right or wrong way. I bought a 07 civic SI a month ago and since day 1 I drive it like I stole it. Same thing with my atv when I bought it. When I took it apart to put the cam and piston it, there was virtually no wear. To each thier own.

 

try easy riding for the first few hours, since its new, ya might wanna jump some small hills to soften the shocks. and hit the yard a little bit to get used to the handleing. just advice, check the shocks to see if they are bolted tight. mine was new off the floor, and after i rode if for a few hours the front right shock came apart, i guess because it came off an assembly line it didnt have that much custom work to it. just advice.

 

Ride it like you stole it...

well, didnt want to admit it, but I to do that myself...and its worked for me.

I am however, likeing the synthic oil ideas...how is it in older Trucks too?

 

Ride it hard! I have a 14yr old ATV, still runs like a top. My 6502 runs like a dream also. Both were broke in hard, and both have Amsoil 0-40. Have fun!

 

ride it like ya stoll it

 

I heard you shouldn't use on older engines. I'm not an expert but I'm guessing that maybe it too viscuous? I put some in my F150 a few years back, it had about 80K miles and the rear seal began leaking about a week later. I use it my quads, and the 2 stroke sleds and boat as well. It's quite a bit more expensive but I figure those engines work quite hard so it can't hurt for the long haul. Just my 2cents.

 

appreciate it, was thinking about my 2003 F-150. Usually Fords start to ooze a lil oil as they age (or used to). So far so good, but I do have 94K on it, and I drive it harder than I should. Put one of those K&N air systems on it two years ago and I still drive it like a kid with his 1st 4-bbl. muscle car...
