Your owner's manual will tell you the first 60 miles or so are important. My turbo-lite was driven from Dublin down to Madera, and had 174 miles on it when I got it. The owner of the dealership drove it back himself. I hope he was careful. I cringe when I think of him trying to keep up with traffic on 580. Put the synthetic oil in right away. I waited until the first oil change, but wish I'd done it right away. I didn't baby it, but was careful for the first 1400 miles. I also put a drop-in K&N filter in it right away. It's going to be fun. Use regular gas, as there is no benefit to using premium.
I've had my turbo-lite for 3 months and have 8,000 miles on it already. It's most fun in the mountains.
