Yes I am trying to follow the break-in period. For the very first full tank I was driving my car in Eco Pro 90% and maintaining revs mostly under 2000rpm. I have made occasional pulls where the revs go up to about 3500rpm. I am currently at about 800km on the odo and on my 2nd tank of gas I have driven the car in mostly comfort mode and about 25% in sport mode. With sport mode I have been revving the rpm up to about 4000rpm mark. I have not held back in comfort mode and ensured that I have been driving with shifts ranging from 1500rpm to 3500rpm steadily. I have been revving the engine up to 4000rpm mark and once made it go to 4200rpm (oops getting real close to the 4500rpm mark!). My 3rd tank of gas which I'm on right now I am revving up to about 3000rpm.

(Canadian manual suggests break-in period of up to 2000 km)

6MT RWD. Not sure what octane first tank was but 2nd and 3rd tank is octane 93.
