If you haven't already done the first oil and filter change, do that, and you should be fine. Sorry, I don't remember this number either, but just recently read the precision of cylinder bores in a modern engine and I belive it was in ten thousandths of an inch - .0002 something ============ I looked up the name I didn't remember - it is CNC machining - computerized numerical control - results in highly accurate machined surfaces, that's why it's OK to drive to Atlanta after 2,000 miles.

Highway miles are easy miles. Your car will enjoy the drive to Atlanta a lot more than short around-town trips.

Driving I95 you have a lot of varing the speed (Mostly stopped around the Woodrow Wilson Bridge at MD/VA border! I'd keep the speed down below 70 for the trip though.

You use less power to move at 55 then is usualy used from 0-30. Just stay around 60 and vary your speed a bit, check oils and tires a few times, defects do occur.
