I am picking up my 2009 Honda Crv this Tuesday coming up.
It has 70 miles on the odometer .
Reading the forums here and had a few questions on break in procedure.
Feel free to add any suggestions.
The info I found here so far is to leave the factory oil fill in until OLM gets down to around 10-20 %
and avoid crusing at steady speeds, making sure to keep a load on the motor.
I have never owned a new car and had heard that you should be easy on the brakes , is that true ?
Since my factory oil fill will take me close to winter I am thinking of either running a short oci with PYB 5-20
or will I be ok to just switch to PP 5-20 for the winter ?
We rack up 10,000 miles a year so I am planning on changing the oil very 5,000 miles ( twice a year )
I bought a bunch of PP with mobil 1 filter sale at AA so I am set for a few years and it only cost me another $10 per
oci to run PP with a M1 oil filter .
The reason for synthetic is that in Pa we do get some cold temps.
