I've always thought you were supposed to drive it carefully (not above 3000ish rpm) for the first 1000 miles, then do an oil change and use it properly from then on. A customer who came in with a brand new 991 GT3 said he wasn't supposed to go above 5000rpm for the first 2000 miles.

Once warm. Full boost keep revs below 4K for a bit. Then twat it. Engine running in isn't that critical.... IMO

From what I've read on R forum, most people just thrash it from day one (once oil is warm). Everyone following this rule has had little to no oil consumed  :happy2:

I too have heard this method is best for reducing long term oil consumption. It helps settle the piston rings into the cylinder wall.
