Break-in a New Car

[falken]

I go for long drives, usually Baguio or Zambales. For me, that's the best way to break in a car.

mga bro sa office namin may malaking vacant lot sa likod walang tao kasi gated at may guard. yung guard ka sundo ko, balak ko iwan ko don bago ko auto tali ko manibela todo kabig pa kaliwa tapos cruise control ko ng 15kph para mag hapon paikot ikot sa vacant lot hangang ma break in. naka usap ko na yung guard ok din naman sa kanya bigyan ko na lang pang miryenda at kape. ilan hours kaya iyon bago ma break in, sa ngayon nasa 320km na tinatakbo ng auto ko.

Maagang bibigay bearings/CV joints nyan

[_Qwerty_]

^^ tsaka pano ka bababa at sasakay ulit don habang umaandar?

[foresterx]

15kph naman is slow enough for someone to get in and out of the car safely if done properly.

^Common advice given during break-in is that your speed should vary.

That's dangerous. If the ground is uneven, the car would not be making a perfect circular turn. After a few hours, the car could be far away from the position where you started from. Baka magaya ka kay Mr. Bean niyan. 😀

di na kelangan ng break in wag lang over rev yun ang nakakasama sa makina.

Hindi daw advisable ang pag gamit ng cruise control sa mhabang oras pag break in.because you will stick into specific groove sa cylinders and prob may happen in the future pg nag drive hard na..

What are you guys thinking? If he wants to do it, let him do it. I'd be interested to know how he gets off his car & gets on it after. Bro, based on my car computer, takes me 24 hours to do 700+ kms.

Sakin ung break in dinala ko sa norte ung sasakyan. After nun akyat naman nang baguio. . .

Break in, not only for the engine, but also the handling characteristics. (steering,brakes) saka yung mga electrical components, test all the equipment during night driving.

kaya kailangan talaga itakbo ng long distance at high speed w/caution.

Yung owner's manual talaga best reference mo about your vehicle. During break-in dami kong narinig na conventional wisdom tulad ng bawal lumampas sa 80 KPH, wag lalampas sa 2K RPM, etc. Yung manual pa rin sinunod ko at no problems so far.

Sir KingReyes,


Hindi po lahat nakalagay sa owners manual ay sinusunod...hehehe

80% po ay accurate pero 20% ay reverse side...

Sir KingReyes,

Which 20% are we not supposed to follow?

IMO it's safe to follow the manual's break-in "recommendations"

Interesting opinion and figures. Like Sir Yuki13 above, I'm also curious on the 20% you're saying. Pa-specify ng examples please.

Siguro i will go with conventional break in na gentle driving for the 1st 500 kms, then hatawin ko na for the next 500 kms..that will be tested on both gentle and harsh driving condition i think

[sientobente]

hi, papaano kung hindi siya nakaindicate sa owner's manual, does that mean no need for this break-in procedure?

Gaya ng sabi sa kin ng mazda, no need na daw dumaan sa break in period ang mga all-new mazda units nila..kasi sa planta pa lang,nakabreakin na engine and transmission bago ilagay sa chassis..... So hatawin na pagkuha sa casa.. :-)

Regular city driving is already sufficient as break-in. That means you operate the motor at half power just to loosen up its sliding components and allow oil and greases to fully penetrate the bearings and rings, but hot enough to work the gaskets, seals, bolts and o-rings properly.

Once these components are duly primed in about 500km or so, then you can push to 80, 90, and 100% power.

just had our wrangler jeep overhauled, just be gentle in driving- no sudden brake and acceleration said the mechanic.
