GTS running in period.

We collected our new GTS just over a week ago and have done nearly 500 miles so far, what is the normal running in period for a GTS.

Ps loving it so far

It says in the My Porsche app or in your cars manual. A quick check says 1,865 miles.

That said I didn't bother really following the guidance. I just didn't spank it or did any hard pulls from standstill, but I certainly went over 4k revs!

I kept it very easy (under 3.5k revs) until 1500 miles were up, which occurred on Friday on a run from London to Scotland. By the time we get back, it should be around 2500 miles and able to be driven properly!

If you are too gentle it will always burn oil. Typical Audi motor. Use it 'normally' for the first 1500 then 'use' it. Oil consumption will then cease

Thanks for the replies.
I've not taken it over about 4.5k revs yet.

If you do nothing else, avoid large throttle openings until the oil is up to temperature.

Oh yes, forgot to add that - no spanking until oil is up to 90+ degrees!

+1. I think this is for the life of the car, not just the running in period.

Cheers,
