2013 GT AWD
I have just bought a 2013 GT AWD and was told by the salesman that I should run the engine in for 1000kms (no faster than 100km/hr)
I haven't had to run a car in for 20 odd years, was he mistaken ?
 
Break-In Period (Page 4-6 in Owner’s Manual)
No special break-in is necessary, but a few precautions in the first 1,000km (600 miles) may add to the performance, economy and life of your Mazda.
• Do not race the engine.
• Do not maintain one constant speed, either slow or fast, for a long period of time.
• Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or high engine rpm for extended periods of time.
• Avoid unnecessary hard stops.
• Avoid full-throttle starts.
• Do not tow a trailer.
