A normal break in period is 500 to 1000 miles depending on who you talk to!

so you personally would spray your car with 1300 miles on it? or i just might wait for spring to be on the safe side when i install my other parts but by then i might only have 1500 or 1600 miles on it

I'd prolly wait untill it was warmed up again! Cause it's not like you will be spraying with snow and ice on the ground anyway!

only people who don't know enough about it say things like this. Spray is perfectly save and effective WHEN DONE RIGHT..

back on topic however. I would wait. I didn't spray my car until I had 2000miles and switched to synthetic oil

I am planning on going with spray. Right now have 5200 on it (bought it new in may) but i am probably going to wait til i have 10k or 15k miles, just to make sure i don't have a car that has constant problems and be fucked with warranty
