Default Engine Break-in period

Hey everyone,

Sorry if I am posting in the wrong place, or if this has been discussed in detail... I couldn't find it. :/

I'm at just past the 200 mile mark on my 2013 wrangler sport. I'm heading out from New Jersey to Dallas, TX on Thursday morning. I looked up and found that there really isn't much of a break in period for the engine (300 miles from the manual).

Any advice for my drive across to Texas? I'm planing on doing it in two days. Should I make more frequent stops throughout the trip?

Thanks in advance!

-Rob

The best advise I have ever gotten is to drive a new motor per the manufacturer specs so everything can seat properly and then drive it like you will drive it day to day.
