Well....one local dealership sells new Toyotas and Chevrolets. They hand out a page to all new owners and it covers both brands. It says that the Chevrolet engineers recommend a 500 mile new auto break-in, and that Toyota says theirs is 1,000 Mi.
Hmmm......so I can't help but wonder why such a large difference? Isn't a lot of auto technology the same, or dang close?
On the "transmission flushing" thread someone mentioned the octane of gas we would be wise to use and if I didn't do a brain-fart it was also said that we should use at least 89 during the breakin period, if not longer, even though the new auto book may say that 87 or higher is fine.
I have questions and curiosities about both issues.
