Properly breaking in new engine

[T.O.Snake]

Can guys with good know-how on this chime in with advice? I've heard a lot of different things, but am trying to find some degree of consensus.

Car is brand new, but has about 50 miles on it. Is it already worth doing a first oil change if I'm stopping by a dealership to pick it up right now? If so/not, how soon should I do it, and at what point should I switch to synthetic (unless 2010 GT500s are already running synthetic :shrug: )

Thanks for any advice!

No need. Drive it hard

The motor is broken in before it ever leaves Ford. Rings are seated and it is ready to roll. Enjoy!

Drive it like you stole it.

You should pull it out of the dealer and proceed to speed shift through 1-4th gears and repeat and repeat and repeat..until your left leg and right arms are tired. Then and only then will it be broke in properly. Also do not lift the gas when you shit!!

Then when you're done call Revan and Lethal and buy a bunch of go fast parts and really enjoy the power!

Drive it hard. I changed the oil after 500 miles then at 1000 for good measure - it made me feel better :rolling:

Take it to the track..

Then give us a call if you want to go faster!!

Congrats on your new ride.

:lol: Thanks, dudes. Just sold my 04 cobra for it - looks just like yours, ADub, only silver stripes, not red. Absolutely love the car!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the car comes with synthetic from the factory, right? When should I do that first oil change to get rid of the metal particles and gunk - 200 miles? 500? Also, I've noticed a few threads about different oils/weights to run once "break in" is done - can anyone educate me on what these cars want/need in that regard, along with any other fluid recommendations?

As for the mods, yeah, I know I'll start caving before long :-D Gonna start with easy stuff - tint, hood struts, air filter (probably air raid, and then eventually maybe a full CAI - JLT likely), and MGW shifter. Likely will be looking into one of those C&L/Shelby dual fan heat exchangers too, eventually.

Speak to MMR

We know that dealerships/Ford doesn't always tell us what's really best for these cars

So again, oil advice, including brand/weight, and how soon I should do the first change would be greatly appreciated
