Just wondering who has a break in plan for their Bronco when they get it?
For any new car, I change the oil/filter at 100 miles then again at 1,000 Then onto regular oil change intervals.
Alternatively, if you don’twant to mess with the oil in the first 1,000 miles, slap on a oil filter magnet like a filtermag or similar. This would be a great option.
I do diffs &Tcase at 1,000 then 5000 then onto regular intervals.
75% of all transmission wear happens in the first 5,000 miles so, trans fluid will be changed at 5,000 and a magnafine in line filter added.
Also, I don’t baby it or hammer it while driving for the first 1,000 miles. Avoid highway driving as much as possible in the first 1,000 miles (has to do with properly seating in piston rings ).
remember, you only get one shot at this (a proper break in).
