From what I recall, those '86 9000s were picked randomly off the end of the Trollhatten assembly line, their hoods were sealed, the seals were verified when they landed in the US, and the cars were then run up to the break-in limits for the first 1000 miles, oil was changed, then they were run flat out the rest of the time. I believe the average speed was 100mph+ for the duration.
They did get oil changes at the prescribed intervals (would have probably been 5000 miles at that time), and tires. But the reports were that there were no problems with the cars at all. Pretty impressive for a fresh off the line car with no 'dealer prep' or 'first visit to fix things'.
