I'm sure it'll be fine. But if you hit 1500 the engine will explode.

I'm in the same boat- maybe worse. I am waiting for the engine to explode some where on the 210 FWY as I head in for my service. I will more than likely be at 1600 miles. Have you already had your service yet. I was just waiting for the dealer to call about my first service- as mentioned by my sales rep. Looks like that's not happening. I thought maintenance was tracked and scheduled for each vehicle. Is this not the case?

Let me know where you will be at the 1350 mark so I can stay away from the huge explosion
