The only "thing" you are breaking in, is how well the piston rings seal to the cylinder walls. Honing technology has gotten so good, even that is at a minimum. Try to vary your engine RPM (don't set the cruise control at one certain RPM) for the 1st few hundred miles and you will be just fine
Which is pretty much why I paraphrased the manufacturer's instructions in my last post, and basically said exactly what you just did. The only thing that I'm not entirely sure about, is just how much information the on-board computer stores, in terms of that break-in period. In other words, can they interrogate the system and determine that a person didn't follow the recommendations in the manual?
I guess we need Mr. Goodwrench (or someone like him) to enlighten us.
