Hi buddies, I came across the term 'run-in period' in many posts. I am aware that it denotes to the initial operation of the engine till the car covers considerable kilometeres.

Can the experts share more information on it.

Does this period differ from each car (model)?
How should one drive during this period?

Thanks in advance..
