V6 Break-In

My 08 Cayenne came in today late, I can pick it up Saturday. My concern is the major do's and don'ts of break in milage. I couldn't find an owners manual on-line. The dealership is 150 miles away then were going on a mini-vacation so I will put about 4 to 500 miles on it on Saturday.

Thanks
Frank

I wouldnt worry about it unless you keep doing it frequently.... also, maybe the turbos can be kept under 110-120 cuz even at those speeds the engine is just taking a walk in the park!!

Picked it up today, what a looker, Bl/Bl runs like hell for a 6 to, drove it 6 hours today. Much better ride and handles just as well as the X5. Pulled off the lot and drove it about 10 miles and the gas light came on, stopped and put 22 gallons in it, the freakin dealer only put 5 gallons of gas in it. I can't wait till they call to ask how I like the truck.

I don't follow breakin procedures. I go straight to redline all the time.

Besides, porsche has already beaten the **** out of your car before you get it, once.
