They recommend not to exceed 4500rpm. I can do that.

I pick up my car on a Friday and when I get home Sunday I'll have 1350 miles on her.

I about the same trip when I picked up my Mcoupe. What I did to vary the rpms is shift between 4th,5th and 6th gear every 30 minutes while keeping about the same speed. Meaning 4th gear 30 minutes, 5th gear 30 min, etc.

Not the ideal breakin procedure but fine for our purposes.
