Break-in to attain maximum FC

[Omi Ventura]

Hi All,

New here sa Tsikot kasi mejo mago lang din ako nagkaron ng kotse (2nd hand) Pero question ko ay sa mga bibili ng bagong sasakyan or nakabili na ng bagong sasakyan, pano kayo magbreak in ng sasakyan? long drive? uphill drive? highway? sabi kasi ng tatay ko i-test sa highway, mabilisin tapos pabagalin tapos bilis ulit then bagal (gradually pabilisin hindi harurot). di ko narin maback read. Share your exeperience how you attain or be satisfied on your car.

Thanks.

the break-in procedure is discussed in your vehicle owner's manual. just follow it.

example, from Toyota Innova Owner's Manual..

For the first 1000 km (600 miles):
- Avoid full throttle acceleration when starting and driving
- Avoid racing the engine
- Try to avoid hard stops during the first 300 km (200 miles)
- Do not drive slowly with the manual transmission in a high gear
- Do not drive for a long time at any single speed, either fast or slow.

drive like you stole it. drive hard and fast as you can. this is how race drivers break in race cars. therefore, IMHO, is the right way to break in new cars.

*shelu: if race cars ang ibi-break-in, applicable yan dahil custom-built, hindi factory-assembled.

Most modern car engines are broken in at the factory, before assembly. Therefore the old tradition of breaking in a new car doesn't apply anymore. Just drive as you normally would drive and treat the car the way you would treat anything else of value.

even sa owner's manual, nakasulat na "You're car does not need an elaborate break-in".

Hi All,

sabi kasi ng tatay ko i-test sa highway, mabilisin tapos pabagalin tapos bilis ulit then bagal (gradually pabilisin hindi harurot).

Thanks.

Tama sabi ng Tatay mo yan ginawa ko parang kay Motoman. mag- 6 years na, mula noong ginawa ko yan, gamit ko pa premium (not unleaded) shell. Til now ok pa takbo ng auto, ok din arangkada nya kahit all stock. mas ok sana kung may budget ipa dyno test ko ito tapos kumapara ko sa bagong auto na same model and engine.
