Break In Period

[bearone]

Hi All,

I own a '02 ES300 and am going to trade up to a :) '09 ES350 in 2 weeks and will be taking a 300 mile trip in it, is there any break-in period on the new ES350 the dealer said just in and drive. I know on the old one there was a 1000 mile break-in. Is there any thing in the owners manual about this.

Thanks,

Bearone
