These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Get the oil up to temperature and drive it hard, at least use the full rev range now and then.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Collecting my new 911 Carrera T at the weekend and wondered what the consensus is wrt running in? Still first 1000miles "easy" then fill your boots? Wasn't sure if the Turbo engine needed any special treatment.

POST 3Original post

I picked mine up about a month ago and was told by the dealer that there isn't any run in period. I did take it easy for the first 1000 miles though. It's a great car and lovely to drive a fast manual! Enjoy!

POST 4Original post

Congratulations Neil , whats the spec on it? I cant decided on the .2 or.1

POST 5Original post

Get the oil up to temperature and drive it hard, at least use the full rev range now and then. Otherwise you might end up with the bores glazing and get a lot of blow by going forward, and the car getting through loads of oil.

POST 6Original post

Or you could follow the Andreas P. method of gradually working the engine harder to the running in suggested mileage ... warming it up properly and trying to avoid too many short journeys ?? I favoured this and at over 30,000 miles many of which were on track, my 981 GT4 used very little oil ...

POST 8Original post

I followed the handbook guidelines and gradually built up the load/rev range. The engine used no oil in 15K miles. I also changed the oil at 6k mls. Probably irrelevant if you’re changing cars every year or so
