new 981 S ----tips on collecting the car and running-in
Discussion
I've just bought one of the last 5 unregistered 981 S 's available through the OPC network
this was following 2 back to back test drives in a 981S vs 718S------and for my personal tastes , the older 6 cylinder normally aspirated car was the car to go for
please could I have your tips re :
1) the collection process from the opc
2) running in the car
the car has pdk , chrono, pse, pasm , and cosmetically is very similar to the GTS , having the Porsche exclusive front and rear options fitted
the car is due for collection in 2 weeks time
anything , I should ask/do at collection
do these cars need running in ----esp with regards to the 3.4 engine and the pdk gearbox----what things should I avoid doing to preserve the car's long-term health ?
the 1st service ia due at 2 years/20,000 miles----- have any of you chosen to get a first oil change before this time-period/mileage?
any other relevant tips awaited gratefully

thank you all , for taking the time to educate me
please could you explain a term that many of you have used : ''don't LOAD the engine ''
what do you mean by not loading the engine ?
does this essentially mean not driving at too low revs ?
if so , what is the lowest RPM that I should be driving at ?
also , how does driving in automatic mode ''LOAD'' the engine ?
is this because the car's software tries to use the minimum rpm for any given road speed ?
I don't have the owners manual yet , and I then have a 4 hour drive from the OPC back home , and I don't want to hurt/damage the engine on my very first trip !!!
