    When I broke-in my 2019 Camry SE, I stuck to roads with 40 mph to 50 mph stop and go traffic. I kept RPM no higher than 4000. Later in the break-in period, I started using the paddleshifters and experimented with shifting at different RPM ranges, while remembering to keep RPM at 4000 or less.

    Once the odometer went past 630 miles, the break-in period was over. Only then did I take the car to the freeway, accelerating to freeway speeds (65 mph to 85 mph) and taking it beyond 4000 RPM, usually 5000 and less than 6000 RPM for spirited acceleration (red line is 7000 RPM).

    Oh. The manual stated the first 630 miles is the break-in period. It varies, depending on the car.
