I will never buy a car with this feature. If you don't care about warranties and what not, there are ways to disable these systems permanently, but I would just not buy one to begin with.

@jamram9924 Lithium batteries are terrible in a fire. I've had to put them out before and god knows what kind of crap you're breathing in when they burn, and they take 20 times the water it takes to put out a regular vehicle fire.

They are evil. I would never own one.

I don't think that's a bad idea for any new vehicle. You never know if something was overlooked and there is debris in there. I know the filter takes care of that but I've always done it just for piece of mind as well. It's not going to hurt anything, so why not.

With the Hemi, after a short conservative break-in period, you're actually supposed to go full throttle while cruising intermittently for a few hundred miles. I would assume that this is to set the piston rings. I wouldn't call myself a mechanic, but I've always taken it easy with new cars, but my Ram with a Hemi was the first one I've seen that actually tells you to floor it for a period of time.

@Drmcclung It's not right after assembly. You're not supposed to exceed city speeds for a hundred miles or so, then you're supposed to floor it while cruising at 30 or 40. It's not flooring it from a dead stop.
