Proper Break In

[xfreemanx]

I recently had my corolla fully overhauled. Whats the correct way of breaking it in?

[s_quilicot]

AFAIK

its PEDAL TO THE METAL baby
:naughty2:

(may nagsabi lang sakin)

[4JGtootsie]

Parang gingawa sa clinic, full inhale full exhale. gradual but solid. Always watch the temperature.
If you dont apply load hindi gagasgas ang rings against the walls with enough abrassive force.

first 1000km drive it easy and hit the pedal once in a while pero hwag todo

and have oil and filter changed

[banawe]

kung bagong overhaul try going 100mph and remember to change your oil when you reach 1000 ....

pakingan mo yung tunog ng makina mo ...

any more question you can give me a buzz libre naman ang tanong

xfreemanx, hi!

i think the best way to break-in your car is to first, fully warm up your car before driving it soft or hard, oil grade you use must be the the lowest grade allowable in our ambient temp (22-37c) oh and use dino oil not syn. wait for 1000, then 5000 then 10000kms. then use syn oil if you really want it... if it would take 5 to 10 mins to fully warm your engine then it's a must for the first 1000kms. Good day, and God bless! henry

sri redpitz :hi:

why use a mineral oil and not synthetic?

could you explain why?

thanks

[speedyfix]

mineral oil allow the valves and rings to seat faster than synthetic oils.

[redpitz]

thank you sir speedyfix,

and also the cost is affected, why use syn when you would use it only for 1000kms then 5000kms then another 5000kms...di sulit, hope this clears up your question, s_quilicot. God bless! henry

[redpitz]

double post, sory po

[speedyfix]

well, cost may be one issue but it's more a matter of function talaga.

I swear to alah, meron ng thread tungkol dito. we had a long discussion about whats the proper way to break-in an engine.


aite, peace.

[xfreemanx]

Salamat sa lahat ng replies. So far, nakaka 180km pa lang ako but the way im breaking the engine in is by driving her at moderate speed. No jack rabbit starts or racing with other cars in the highway. 1000-2000 rpm lang. Kaso pansin ko, medyo rough ang idle (medyo palyado) but no more of the usual noise. Checked the dipstick. No more blowby.

However, the fuel consumption has gone really low. 3km per liter! then refuel, now its 4.45 km per liter na. Normal ba to?

[4JGtootsie]

At 180km medyo nasa break in stage ka parin. Hindi pa maganda compression niyan, gradually it will seal itself and you can expect better mileage.

[redpitz]

xfreemanx,

also try to tune up your carb, if it is not fuel injected.
