Hi, I'm new to this site but I just purchased a 2009 Civic SI with 6 miles on it. I'm wondering how long I should take it easy on her or get VTEC pumpin because I've heard it's good to give your engine time to get its feet wet. Also, are there some chemicals or fluids you think I should put into the engine at first to help it run smoother? I just really want to baby this thing and I feel like now's the time to start. Thanks for any input!
