[QUOTE="Rjay, post: 16404614, member: 195267"] When I cold start mine I let it come off of the higher idle (about 140 degrees) before I drive it. 2000-2200RPM shifts while all the fluids circulate and get warmed up - it takes a while to get 10 quarts of oil up to 175 degrees. When oil is up to operating temperature (175-200) I get a little more aggressive. I don't know about yours, but it takes my transmission FOREVER to warm up. You're at 35 miles - first 100 miles is critical - vary throttle and load as stated above. Also bed your brakes correctly that first time out if you don't like to hear them squeal all the time. I never went over 3K the first 100 miles. Every 100 miles thereafter I would increase my shift point by 500RPM. Eventually I found myself at 1000 miles and all bets were off. Oil change at 1000 miles to get all the crud out and then enjoy it. I just don't get crazy until all my fluids are in their operating range. Over 10,000 miles on it right now and my "top off" quart is still in the garage with the cap sealed. [/QUOTE]
