Cruise control during break-in period

**kris_13** · June 1st, 2019 01:32 AM

Hello mga Paps and Mams,

Is it bad to use Cruise during break-in period? Because you will have a constant RPM. Hindi naman maiiwasan sa Hi-way ang constant rpm, maliban nalang sa zigzag roads.

And I think sa factory palang binirit na yung engine.

Thanks.

cruise control isn't slow.. 40kph-100kph will be at the mid rpm. It'll be fine

Just not at extended constant speed. It's just 1k kms worth of wait.[emoji4]

Used it in NLEX at 100kph which is fast

Kahit naman kasi di gumamit ng cruise, constant talaga speed at rpm sa nlex hehe

100kph is around 2000rpm(plus or minus 250rpm depeding on vehicle) its the sweetspot for most engines. thermal efficieny is near the peak.

120 is fast as it is away from the peak thermal efficiency...this should be avoided during break-in

Don’t overthink it. Just drive normally and not like “drive it like you stole it” type.

Congrats and drive it in good health.

Yes Sir, I just drive it the normal use. I asked this bec someone mentioned that it should be avoided haha.

In the first place, the manufacturers should have disabled cruise until you reach a thousand mile to enable cruise if it will destroy the engine.

I am new to AT cars, always drive a manual for many years. thanks
