Running in the Engine - Engineering explained.

Andy, didn't we already have this discussion prior to you picking your car up?

To expand on Alex's comments. There is a difference between putting an engine under load and revving the nuts off it. Putting the engine under load is also as much about deceleration as acceleration.

To be honest, it's not going to make a massive difference. The engine will most likely be bulletproof no matter what you do. Just let everything get warmed up first (not just when running in)

Oh, just to add that sitting on the driveway idling from cold isn't good for all kinds of reasons (condensation evaporation and subsequent emulsification in the engine oil for one, plus you'll still have cold gearbox/transfer case/axles and oil). Start up, let the oil pressure settle (about as long as it takes to get comfy and put on your seatbelt) and then drive off.
