Contratulations, I got my black beauty on Friday. I have to say this is the most beautiful sedan on the market. I'm going to re-post recommendations from Coolknight to my similar break-in questions...

My advise is that you change the oil at 2000 miles and
put in some 5w-40 Synth. Be progressive while you break
in the engine, increase max RPM and boost every 200 miles
by 500 rpm starting at MAX of 3500 rpm. If you do that you
will get a Aero engine that works very well and burns little
fuel.

The other thing would be tire pressures, put 2.6 Bars front
and 2.45 Bars in the rear tires to avoid that the car is
nervous at high speeds.

As soon as you can you should replace the Pilot HX tires with
a set of Dunlops SP9000s, I did that and it's a huge improvement
in noise and ride quality.

ALWAYS use highest Octane fuel you can get (93-94 , Euro98), this
is even more important if you drive at altitude as the Aero T7
ECU compensates missing O2 by increasing boost. The Aero will
keep all it's HP and torque up to 10'000 feet up.

Couple of tips for your Gearbox.

Mine was stiff to shift into 3rd for the first
7000 miles. The best is that you rev to a min. of
3500 rpm before you shift from 2nd to 3rd. Also
get used to being sure that the clutch is all the
way down before you shift. (<- read again)

To get reverse when standing, best is that you shift
into 3rd then in R.

Now my gearbox works great and the stiffnes has gone
away. So be a bit patient! Don't force your gearbox into
any gear!

Regards,
Coolknight
