Brand New Car: Break in

[SirEric]

Mga sir, sa pagkakaintindi ko lahat ng sasakyan na galing planta ay na break-in na, reason is kung yung bibili and mag break-in hindi parepareho ang style of driving natin. At dahil dito mas malamang na marami ang magkakaproblema kagad sa makina. di tulad sa planta na may gamit sila para dito. mas makakasiguro sila na less ang complain kpag nbili ito.

[redpitz]

actually the casa's driver are doing as a favor, kasi they are driving the car to it's limit, which is a good thing, kung may problema na ung car whether sa engine or suspension eh, lalabas na kaagad, so kng may problem na nagmanifest under warranty, u have you're right to claim for the warranty of the car... just my opinion...

[wildthing]

Lahat ng car company ganyan? Nakikita ko pag dinedeliver dito sa quezon ave eh nasa truck di ba nakasampa mga car?

Actually halos lahat ng manufacturing plant ganyan...kasama kasi sa quality test nila yun for road worthyness.

So yung mga sasakyan na CBU na kung dumating dito, hindi nakakaranas ng ganyan sa kamay ng Pinoy...pero not necessarily from its original plant.

Another thing I learned from PDR specialist Richard, na ang mga oto na brandnew ay piniPDR lang sa final assembly line. Hindi maiiwasan ang mga accidents that leads to dents sa plant habang ginagawa iyon. In fact, Richard and Rovic were trained PDR specialist ng Nissan plant sa Sta. Rosa (hapon na taga nissan ang nagturo sa kanila) way back early 2000 when the plant was still operational.

Believe me, there are other drivers who race with other casa drivers to the dealership and driving the cars like they stole them. I don't think that's doing anybody a favor. I would never want to get a car driven to the dealer if I were to pay hard earned money for a brand new car.

Exactly, lalabas kaagad - because you sped up the wear and tear process by pushing it to its limit too soon!

The key is to let the mechanical parts settle and find their sweet spots in their own tolerances. I can never stress this enough. I'd hate to buy a used car that's been treated this way from the time it got out of the dealer.

So pag dito gawa tapos walang truck eh dina-drive papunta casa....?

Pag CBU naman eh truck ang nagdedeliver sa casa...?

Ano yung PDR?

Bakit sa Honda, synthetic oil na ang nilagay eh brand new pa lang?

di ba dapat mineral base muna?

Synthetic tapos break in period di ba hindi advisable?

+1.

Around three weeks ago, I chanced upon two Adventure units and one Outlander unit, all brand-new (no plates), speeding along Ortigas Ave. with hazards flashing. Turns out that they were being driven from the Mitsubishi plant to the Union Motors pre-release inspection facility in Pasig.

I'd hate to see even one of them scrape a body panel on the road, just because of some careless factory employee.

Just do not let it rev upto the red line pero di na uso ang break in tulad dati iba na ang technology ngaun

[itlog na pula]

guys, is there any special way of breaking in a diesel automatic engine?

[joeverzosa]

Just follow what the manufacturer states in the car manuel...then you should be good...

[JERBUM]

Naihataw ko si innova umabot 130kph sa nlex pero nagvavary yung speed, 100kph-130kph. ok lang kaya yun kahit wala pa 1000kms?

[tidus1203]

Pag ako sunod na lang sa manual, wala naman mawawala eh...

[[archie]]

sa palagay ko... ok lang naman na hataw yung oto kung brake-in stage pero wag lang siguro madalas. yung oil niya for pms at 1000kms baka puro impurities kasi first oil yan when the car is manufactured...

[MAXBUWAYA]

SAs often gives the tag line, "After 1000km magiimprove yan"

Like suspension ride or Fuel Consumtion even the acceleration.



From my experience theres no changes or miracle that will happen to your car after the first 1000km. Kaya kung may naramdaman kayo hindi maganda, insist them on checking it out,

The way i see it, andito lang talaga ang Scope of Warranty nila and not the 100,000 or 3 years.

personally, i just do not abuse my engine. break in period or not. common sense.
i also believe the break-in period is more critical in colder countries. in our tropical country, just drive normally and have the 1000 km change oil. and don't abuse the car.
i have this suspicion that the break-in period is designed to minimize engine damage brought about by manufacturing and assembly "errors" like loose nuts, weak metal parts, etc.... am i suggesting you abuse the engine so that manufacturing imperfections will come out during the warranty period?

Yes, break-in were designed by the makers of the cars to ensure that in the first 1,000kms, the mechanical parts will settle nicely. So better be gentle in doing so. PATIENCE is a definitely a VIRTUE!

Kami nga 800 kms pa lang change oil na agad just to be sure eh. Tapos 4,500km ulit for anything brand new (motorcycyel or cars).

Tignan mo sa last part, may binibiida siyang magazine! La yan, kalokohan pa rin yan. Kung merong taga-tsikot ang nagbukas ng makina at ipakita mismo dito result at walang na-eendorse na produkto, maniwala na siguro ako. Mas magaling pa sila sa mga engnr na sobrang R&D ang ginagawa in doing new engine designs eh.

kelangan ba na hard yung break in?

ok. ganito na lang:
no jackrabbit or rubber-burning starts.
put eggs between your foot and the accelerator pedal, and don't crack them.
and keep the rpm below 2500.
ok ok. forget the eggs part..
