I just bought my 06 MDX on Saturday and just wondering how I should break in the engine? Is there a max speed that I should not exceed when the car has below a certain miles? Thanks for the advices...

What did they tell you at the place where you pruchased your X? They are the "official word."

In general there are no special requirements. Mainly just to not be too rough on the engine for a few hundred miles. No very hard acceleration primarily.

Modern engines do not have the 500 mile breakin period that was associated with older vehicles.

That information should be in your owner's manual. Basically, as G COLTON has said, take it easy on the engine (no high revs/acceleration, no hard braking, etc.). BTW, congratulations on your purchase!
