Break-in a New Car

[playplugg]

Break in, not only for the engine, but also the handling characteristics. (steering,brakes) saka yung mga electrical components, test all the equipment during night driving.

kaya kailangan talaga itakbo ng long distance at high speed w/caution.

Yung owner's manual talaga best reference mo about your vehicle. During break-in dami kong narinig na conventional wisdom tulad ng bawal lumampas sa 80 KPH, wag lalampas sa 2K RPM, etc. Yung manual pa rin sinunod ko at no problems so far.

Sir KingReyes,


Hindi po lahat nakalagay sa owners manual ay sinusunod...hehehe

80% po ay accurate pero 20% ay reverse side...

Which 20% are we not supposed to follow?

IMO it's safe to follow the manual's break-in "recommendations"

Interesting opinion and figures. Like Sir Yuki13 above, I'm also curious on the 20% you're saying. Pa-specify ng examples please.

Siguro i will go with conventional break in na gentle driving for the 1st 500 kms, then hatawin ko na for the next 500 kms..that will be tested on both gentle and harsh driving condition i think

hi, papaano kung hindi siya nakaindicate sa owner's manual, does that mean no need for this break-in procedure?

Gaya ng sabi sa kin ng mazda, no need na daw dumaan sa break in period ang mga all-new mazda units nila..kasi sa planta pa lang,nakabreakin na engine and transmission bago ilagay sa chassis..... So hatawin na pagkuha sa casa.. :-)

Regular city driving is already sufficient as break-in. That means you operate the motor at half power just to loosen up its sliding components and allow oil and greases to fully penetrate the bearings and rings, but hot enough to work the gaskets, seals, bolts and o-rings properly.

Once these components are duly primed in about 500km or so, then you can push to 80, 90, and 100% power.

just had our wrangler jeep overhauled, just be gentle in driving- no sudden brake and acceleration said the mechanic.
