Running-in? Anything particular?

Hoping to get a new 3.0 SDV6 RRS later this year. Are there any particular do's and dont's you long-term users can recommend during the early driving - or just take the advice in the handbook?

With service intervals getting ever longer, is there any benefit to a mid-first-year oil change?

Thanks for any suggestions. Thumbs Up
Andrew

Treat it like you just bought it, not like you just stole it and remember every moving part needs time to bed in.
