Anything specific I should be doing to 'run in' a new petrol engine? Lots of people seem to recommend changing oil after first 100 miles, not letting it idle too long on cold, etc, so what say ye Ocuk?
 
I should probably Google around for the handbook as don't have the car yet, wanted to check before driving it away! Sounds like the pages and pages of stuff I read on various sites may have been unnecessary...I certainly hope so I thought my head was going to explode.
 
Don't believe it's NikaSil after a quick search but I may be wrong, good idea to just keep an eye on the oil I guess rather than just blanket change it at 100 miles, that way I'm not changing it unnecessarily.
