G'day all.

New to the forums. I just bought a 2008 Lancer GTS CVT... just yesterday actually. Happy so far.

P.S. Any advice on breaking in the Engine???

Drive it like you stole it : )

Read this http://mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

With the CVT the engine is constantly under load when you are accelerating full throttle.... so thats actually good. Go full throttle from standing to as fast as you can go (like a highway on ramp) and do it over and over to get a nice ring seal. After like 20 miles (yes.. 20 miles) drain the oil and put in conventional oil... after 200 miles then put in synthetic.

When you read that article it will all make sense. Be sure to read all of it... its worth it. Ask if you have any questions. If your worried... dont worry. I too was sceptical until i actually did my own experiments... and it backed up everything that was said.
