If I drive 500 miles on the highway in one day will my clutch be broken in or is 3-500 miles supposed to be city miles or does it matter? I also had a valve cover gasket replaced which was causing me to burn oil and I knew this because I had oil on the sparkplug last week when I changed it-- this is fairly common problem on hondas.

I broke mine in for about 500-600 city miles driving very slowly, not shifting over 3k, etc. I then stepped it up for another 400 miles driving like I normally do, but not fast... and then finally I drove however I wanted. Broke in very well as far as I can tell.
