running in.

I take delivery of my S2000 on September 1st. Has anybody got any advice on running in?

There are tons of threads on this - do searches on "break-in", "breaking in", "first oil change", etc. Also see the FAQ on things to remember when taking delivery.

Vary the rpm across the band up to 6,000 rpm, but don't exceed it. No vtech until you reach at least 600 miles. Do not push the car or the engine until you have three bars on the engine temp gauge. Check the oil at every fill up. Otherwise, have a great time. Vtech comes up real fast.
