I find it interesting that there is a difference between ROW and USA break in recommendations. Why? ROW has better drivers and less likely to abuse cars? ROW owners keep cars rather than flip them? USA is more litigious, so PAG gives itself more room to go "AHA! Your fault."? Hmmmm.........

I never have. Just get oil to operating temp, hit full range of RPM without getting arrested, change oil after first 400 miles, take to the track (so I don’t have to worry about getting arrested), change oil again and brake fluid, buy new set of tires. Repeat.

I do not want to start another circuitous and annoying thread on this topic....but I thought you might be interested in what the European owners manual says about the GT2/GT3 RS break in period.
With a new car, the moving parts must first be run into each other.
This requires the first 3000kms (991 gt2 rs) and 1,500 km (911 g3 rs, 991 gt3) respectively. The oil and fuel consumption can be higher than the normal values during this time.
Drive during the break in period as follows:

Drive during the break in period as follows:
- Preferably drive longer journeys.
- Often avoid cold starting in combination with kory rides if possible.
- Avoid high speeds of more than 4,000 revolutions per minute (911 gt2 rs) and 7,000 revolutions per minute (911gt3 rs, 911gt3) respectively.
- With a cold engine drive with lower speeds.
It is 4000rpm and 3000 kms

I'm at 2,300 miles. Haven't changed the oil. I think that's overkill as well. Will change oil after my first track day in September. I've talked to a few Porsche-specific race shops in my area and they all said oil change so early is overkill.

When cutting open a filter, it important to do so cleanly (this thing does) so you don’t introduce filter case particles that could me mistaken for engine debris...

Would be interesting to use this (I have one) and see what you find after a long interval first change. If you find nothing (or nearly nothing), an early change would be overkill...
