I kept it under 4000 RPM and didn't use the cruise control for the first 500 miles. I have 1300 miles and oil is full.

Break-in according to the owner's manual, except did hit low 60s a couple of times in first 500 miles. Varied speeds, no full throttle starts.

3950 miles and have not used any oil. DIC says 79% oil life left (changed oil the first time at 1000 miles).
