this is fucking torture. I'm at km 127/1,600 and there's no way I'm going to make it. Also I can't seem to shift from 1-2 smoothly.
The fuck, I thought the process for embedding rings was to run it hard as fuck and then do an immediate oil change within 500km to remove any manufacturing materials.

Do you think a person who sees their car as an appliance is going to follow break-in procedure.
I'd wager at least 80% were driven normally from the get go.

You're gonna burn tons of oil if you follow Subaru's cuck-tier break-in procedure.
Run it hard. Redline it a few times. Vary the RPMs a lot. >>16725091 is right - 500km oil change and never look back

No one actually breaks their cars in this autistically. You're thinking too deep into it OP, just drive.

Do not listen to anyone in this thread and do what the manual tells you to, got damn
