During the first 1,200 miles, try to keep the engine revolutions under 5,500 rpm and avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration. This will allow the engine components to properly wear in and reduce any risk of damage.

Make sure to regularly check and top off your engine oil during this break-in period. This will ensure proper lubrication and prevent any potential issues.

Avoid excessively idling the car during the break-in period. This can cause a buildup of fuel residues on the engine components, leading to potential issues down the road.
