Always have warmed up engine, then drive it like you want to! Worked on all the quads and snowmobile engines, 4 or 2-stroke, and any automotive engine including diesels and never had 1 fail or burn oil, I believe this also give you more horsepower! Maybe just me but hasn't failed me yet! Changed oil early and don't run synthetic oils until been run lots to be broken in. Just about 30 hours on the Teryx so maybe it will get some synthetic oil this weekend. Did first oil change at 12.9 hrs to make sure anything in the oil was flushed out!

Good thing I read this now I dont feel bad...Drove to oldsmobile from the flats and ran up and down a couple times, that should have done it well.

I took it easy for a few hours of riding about 5 or so, then just drove the darn thing. SMash the petal to the floor and let her breath. At about 25 hours or so it definitely seemed to break open and run alot better. It got up to speed much faster and climbed the dunes much better.
