I just got a brand new '08 malibu (LT with the 4 cylinder). I looked in the owners manual and couldn't find the break in period. Does anyone know how long the break in period should be?

Thanks in Advance...

Page 2-22 of the owners manual. Not very involved, basically go easy for the first 500 miles.

There's a friggin' speed governor on the Malibu?!
WTF GM?!

No need to be going over 112 in these cars. If you must go fast, buy a motorcycle.

here is a picture of my top speed using the Top Speed Recall feature.

Damn thats insane, hit something on a motorcycle at that speed and they will be scraping your remains off the pavement.

Indeed.

yeah almost all "non performance" cars have limiters at a set speed,

GTPMalibu, and FenwichHockey - Yeah but it will only be a matter of time, before you can flash the PCM and remove that lovely limiter! Give it time and someone will come up with the information we want!! :O)
