Remember to change out the oil in the first 500-1000 miles to ensure all
metal wear will be removed.

Take it is easy on the driving habits and go through the RPM from low to
high for proper break-in.

I would recommend the first 3,000 miles before racing the motor.

My CC 4.7L is on order. Yay!

I've got a couple questions before it arrives. Thinking ahead and all that.

1) Is there a "break-in" period? As in, do I need to take it easy and not
exceed some speed for some number of miles?

2) At how many miles should I do the first oil change?

Thanks.
