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.
Yes, shifting gears while maintaining the same speed was the first thing I thought of, although I was thinking more like 10 min intervals.
If you imagine a graph with RPM on the Y-axis and time on the X-asis, you'd get something like a staircase chart.
I thought they wanted me to do a sinusoidal wave... or something more random.
