Running in service

Hi All,

New here having just picked up the vehicle today. Do these need a running in service at all?

Thanks I’m advance.

Mine didn't (in 2018). I think that manufacturing is so good these days that none do.

They probably still advise a running in period keeping the revs low for the first n hundred miles though?
