Break-in ng engine ng new car... kailangan pa ba?

Sabi din sa akin ng Honda casa na na-break in na daw mga binebenta nila....From City, Jazz, Civic and Pilot....

Yung oil na nakalagay sa atin eh synthetic na. Sa first 1000kms eh wala ng oil change. Sa 10,000 kms na daw..... Pero ako sa 5,000 kms ko papalitan.

Ako nga city driving lang. Hindi ko pa mahataw......80kph pa lang pinakamabilis ko dahil alam nyo naman sa metro manila eh traffic lagi..... Usually nga eh 40-60kph lang takbo ko

Pag punta ko na lang ng south super highway mga 100kph tapos engine braking......

better magobserved ka na lang ng break in period, tungkol naman sa sinabi ng SA mo pag nagkaproblema ka sa engine hindi mo naman pwedeng magclaim ng dahil lang sa sabi ni SA, madaling magdeny, and ang problema niyan maaaring lumabas pa pag out of warranty na kaya wala ka naring maclaim sa honda.

Most modern engines are built to tighter tolerances than engines of old. Which means that the break-in period for an engine isn't as long as it used to be... and yes, most manufacturers "break-in" the engine before giving it to you... I don't know if they all do it, but some put the engine on a dyno and rev its guts out to check that it's healthy, it's smooth, and it's making the proper amount of power. In other words... bago mo makita ang tsikot mo... hinataw na yung engine niya...

Still... it doesn't hurt to be gentle on a new engine, to prolong its life.

di na ako believer ng brake-in. as long as hindi mo lang papaabutin sa red line ok lang.

Kasi po din pala, kahit na na break-in na ang engine, ang ibang piyesa gaya ng preno at transmission ay hindi pa. Kaya it pays to brake-in na din.

ganyan din sabi sa amin when we got our bnew Honda city ngayon lang january...

nabreak-in na daw yun makina up to 3k kms--- machine driven sa casa prior irelease.

so no need for break-in... ready to use na talaga.

and totoo naman base sa feel ko sa auto kasi ibinyahe agad from Honda caloocan to pampanga then straight to lingayen, pangasinan ng walang kahit anumang glitch or whatever you call it...

sa honda ganun na daw.. sa ibang brands eh yung may break-in period pa talaga... yan ang sabi ng HONDA ha... di ko lang sabi...

I believe what Honda is saying. But to be on the safe side, and not to have regrets later on, I will still be observing a minimum break-in process at least.
The engine under load will be having more stress.

don't follow him, follow your car's manual.

**rai2k8** · February 23rd, 2008 03:15 AM

Sabi sa manual ng picanto, no need to break in na kase na break in na daw ung engine bago pa irelease. Not sure with other cars though.

wala naman mawawala kung iingatan mo muna ang makina mo... ilang araw lang ba ang 1k? 2 weeks average? aheheheheh... ikaw din naman ang magbenefit in the long run... mas ok magiging performance ng auto mo kaPAg iyong iningatan...
