You forgot this one: Don’t buy a used performance car, because there’s a high likelihood that some original owner-clown rationalized the break-in period as bullshit in a futile effort to mask his immaturity and lack of self control. And this one: Manufacturers create pointless, bullshit...

You have the right idea. Keep the speeds and RPM varied while avoiding hard pulls or high RPM. As long as you’re not droning along on cruise control you may not be conducting the best break in ever but you’re not going to trash anything either….imo.

The dealer F‘d you, so never go back there and let them profit from servicing your vehicle. Ask another dealer if they can check the engine logging (some vehicles store that info forever as a way to protect the dealer/manufacturer from false warranty claims). If they can, and you find out that...

All gears are available in Sport Mode, and saying different is 100% mistaken. Sport mode simply holds on to lower gears longer to keep the rpm and responsiveness up - ready for romping. Sport mode is, IMO, pretty much pointless UNLESS you’re romping AND need that extra tiny bit of performance...

enjoy an informed and rational presentation on this topic :-)Break-in presentation

Yeah, because you are SO MUCH SMARTER than all of the manufacturers who actually design and build the engines. Who’s the arrogant one here, eh?

Ummmmm....No, it absolutely does not. I own both and there’s no comparison. The Supra is a better car overall, but it can’t hold a candle to the Z06. Not even in the same league.

“Modern cars don’t need break in” ranks among the worst internet advice I’ve ever seen, demonstrates an ignorance of the topic, and/or a lack of patience/discipline. I was religious about my own break in, counting down the miles until I could let ’er rip. Here’s a pic of my odometer as I...

This isn’t my first vehicle with sport mode (other is a ‘15 Z06) and I have preferred normal most of the time in both. I simply find no advantage to sport most of the time, as I don’t need sport most of the time. Those times when a faster shift and stiffer springs etc actually benefit the drive...

Sorry Engineer, I just noticed that u have a base model. I hope that I haven’t led you astray, but I don’t know what’s excluded in the base model :-(

No one at my dealer knew wtf they were doing since it’s basically a Bimmer. I’m on my own, and I suspect that others besides the two of us are too.

Sure. It’s available right there in your car on the main screen. I can’t remember the details on how I found it, but it wasn’t hard. If I did it, I promise that you can too. Here are a couple of vids which I have not watched but may be of help.

I had same issue. Called Supra concierge and they walked my through the process of setting it up.

Thanks for this info fellas. My dealer knew jack about the Supra (I bought it 6 days ago) and I’m pretty much on my own. This helps a lot!

Yeah? Have you looked at the rings? How’s ur compression? Do you think the folks who actually designed and built the engine are just dummies?

Yep. What he said!

Please don’t follow the above “break it in hard” advice. Worst wives tale/myth ever perpetuated on the automotive public. Be patient, follow the recommended break in. Just because one may get away with the “hard” method does NOT mean that’s what’s best for your engine and your investment.
