Congrats....on your purchase.
Use Mobile 1 and a K&N filter. Purchase the Mobile 1 at your local COSTCO and K&N at Kragens.
You should not baby the engine to a since but allow a up and down in speed. This will help the engine use the breakdown additives to properly breakin.
By speeding (not jumping on the motor) is not going to harm the engine but revlining the motor.
Ensure that you wait at least 30 seconds to 1-minute to allow the oil to circulate on cold start. Then allow 1-2 mintues to cool down before turning off the motor.
500-750 miles is the recommended breakin and then may wait until at least (looking at the Hemi's JTEC programming) 2-3K miles for ECU to fully learn your driving habits.
After driving more than 30 years, this is one of the better cars I have seen in a compact version. Though, I wish they went lighter on the weight, LSD unit for traction, and ondash adjustable compter control boost device.
