Factory Break-In?

[maop99]

What does this mean? Ibig ba sabihin nito I can go and hatawin ang kotse ko maski bago pa siya? Can I go do high revs and high speeds? Or dapat bang keep it smooth and slow muna hanggang 1000kms? Please explain....Thanks guys!

Like, take it easy...like it says in the manual.

May nagsabi- sa akin ibig daw sabihin nito, na-break-in na daw sa factory? So you don't need to break it in again sa first 1000kms?

[Bravoexo]

Mas may alam ang manual ng kotse mong bago about your new car kaysa yung nagsabi sa inyo nyan.

There are other things the manual will recommend you do not do in the first 1000kms. Like don't install a hitch and tow stuff with your car in the first 1000 kms. Or don't stay in a single speed at a high rpm for example.

Play safe is better than regretting. 1000kms lang naman yan eh, sandali lang yun.

hinay hinay lang sa paghataw ng bnew car...
ako humataw na talaga ako nun after ko mag1k pms.

There are two sides of the coin... One side says that you break it it, cuz the gaskets, seals and stuff have not yet set inside. Another side says that its already broken in the plant and do you think they "treat it like babies" when they deliver it to the dealership? Better err on the side of caution, para walang sabit, just don't maintain one speed, and don't push the brakes hard just yet.

[maop99]

yeah two sides nga, yung isa daw old school na, yung babagal bagal ka lang and keep it below 3000rpm and below 100kph? ang new style naman daw ngayon eh hataw na kaagad para gumamda daw yung engine...kung di mo raw i-hataw forever mabagal ang car mo? hehehe yun ang sabi ng mga iba? don't understand it, I guess, its better take a look at the manual and call the casa? and ofcourse listen to you guys hehehe

[boybi]

if i remember it right, ang break-in speed ng 1992 galant vr dati is 135kph!

ang new style naman daw ngayon eh hataw na kaagad para gumamda daw yung engine...kung di mo raw i-hataw forever mabagal ang car mo?

Di naman siguro. Pag magbagal kotse mo... mabagal talaga.

Factory break-in could mean the only the engine has been broken-in, you would still need to break-in the transmission. Read the manual, it will tell you how to properly break-in.

when we went to the Ford/Mazda plant in Sta. Rosa, they were running the cars on a computerized stationary machine. they were running them till their topspeeds.

My uncle drives like hell and everytime they purchase a new car. His reasons, "Para malaman agad kung may sira o wala at para balik agad sa casa. Putsa hindi na uso yang breakin-breakin! Pang 80s lang yung breakin eh pang-Lolo katwiran lang yan. Factory pa lang na breakin na yan."

[coiter]

nung nakuha ko yung sa akin di rin ako naniwala sa break in e. nakalagay lang sa manual na "avoid sudden acceleration and braking. travel at varying engine speeds." so actually yung mga long drives ay masama kasi tendency is you would stay at a certain engine speed for quite some time sa highways. so far ok naman ang result ng 'non-break-in' ko. i think some manuals are more specific like toyota saying "do not go above 4500 rpm" etc. sabi nga nila, read the manual para sure.

[gel_salazar07]

well...sometimes it confuses me also?? kasi I have a friend who's working at one of the car manufacturing plants. sabi nila before they deliver the unit, it has been tested and driven it on the test track. So pwede na daw ihataw pag nakuha mo na yun unit mo.

[maop99]

ang gulo gulo nga! hehehe tumawag nga ako sa casa kanina sabi sa akin dapat hanggang 60-80kph lang ang takbo, hanggang 5000kms daw para sure....what?! ibig sabihin aantay ako ng half a year bago ko mahataw auto ko! wow!....mali ata yung sabi niya ah?

[gel_salazar07]

hahaha misinfo nga yun! 5000kms daw? Labo nun tsong! Ihataw mo na! eh nasa warranty period pa naman yan eh!

I used to work with Ford's car parts manufacturing, and before an engine is intalled, break in na yan. Actually ang term ng break in ay para palapatin ang piston rings sa cylinder. Ginagawa yan sa mga bago or bagong rebuilt engines.
Then after assembly ng car dinadaan sa test track ito. Dito binabarurot ng manufacturers ang car.
Pag bile mo ng car, kaya nila sinasabi na hinay hinay lang for the 1st few thousand kms ay para safe sa kanila dahil mauubos ang warranty mo sa slow driving. Kung may factory defect man yan, di lalabas. Kaya kung ako sa iyo, ihataw mo ng todo para lumabas ang factory defect kung meron man, atleast under waranty ka pa. Yung 2001 VTi ko pag bile namin binanatan ko agad, ayun wala pa 1 year nasira yung PS pump fittings. Pinalitan ng Honda free of charge.

Sabe lang ng dealer yan para mabawasang ang warranty claims nila.

[BlueBimmer]

aha! istayl lng pala yan a! hehe

[FrankDrebin]

E di tama pala si Angkol. ;)

[kimpOy]

that's why when i got hold my brand new 1992 Mitsubishi Lancer GTi hinataw ko agad sa NLEX 150KPH (imaginin mo yung NLEX nung 1992 he..he)
