Nope. First 500kms (which you are already past) keep it under 5000rpm, then start to push it harder gradually over the next 1500kms.
Change the oil after 1500-2000km.
Trust me on this...it's from a very good source.

Phil: Would the same rule also apply to a new Cayenne?

How's the new engine, Phil? Did they give you a free turbo upgrade while they were at it?

Nice ride - welcome to the liquid cooled generation.
You might want to get an X51 oil pan so that the oil doesn't slosh around in there too much.
