Factory Break-In?

[Emong3]

Tama yun sulitin mo dahil ang mahal ng kotse ngayun. Dapat nga bago mag expire ang warranty rekalmo mo lahat gaya ng shocks, atbp suspension parts.

Actually, all engines are supposed to be broken in by the factory, but waiting for the first 1000km isn't a bad idea.

One thing, though, you won't get full horsepower out of your car for at least 5000-10,000km.

C'mon, if you want to break anything, you can still do it after 1,000km and have it replaced under warranty.

[pepengtom]

tama naman ung 5000 kms break-in period ah?
kaya nga dun na tama ang mileage mo pag lumampas ka na ng 5000 kms.
un lang ang alam ko.

Noon siguro applicable ang break-in, pero ngayon di na.

Napansin ko din, if you go by the book na hinay hinay sa first 1000kms, di maganda ang engine performance.

meron ako dalawang tito. pareho revo diesel. sabay binili. na drive ko yung revo na by the book, syet na malagket mga pre, ang bagal mag pickup, kahit bagong change oil and everything.

Yung '91 nissan pickup ko na 450t km reading, di pa nababa makina, mas malakas pa mag pickup.

Ang i avoid mo lang talaga e sudden stop. kung gas, go upto 4500 rpm, kung diesel, upto 3200 rpm. pero once in a while, i sagad mo din.

Naguguluhan na ako hehehehe...Thanks Emong....ganda ng sinabi mo hehehe....siguro ihahataw ko nga paminsan minsan hehehe....under warranty pa nga naman hehehehe....baka may ibang tsikoteers pa diyan who would like to input their experience/opinions? Thanks

[pepengtom]

di ako mahilig humataw. mabilis na sakin ung 140kph.
maski na masarap humataw sa nlex, 80-100kph lang takbo ko. minsan lang mag 100-140kph.
nakakapang hinayang ung gaso. ganun din naman ung mararating mo.

hehe, exciting nga pag may bagong tsikot...ingat lang mga bro sa sobrang hataw, baka hindi BREAK-IN ang abutin, BREAK lang, hehe...buti sana kung oto lang ma-BREAK... :D

when I went to the kia casa, they took out the mandatory 1K tune up/change oil, di na daw kailangan. Good for them to admit there is no need to break in. But with the other manufacturers, they still insist on the 1K break in. Look at the Innova. Meron pang kasamang note that if you must send in the car ON OR BEFORE 1,000kms no after. Gimmick na lang yang 1K nila sa tingin ko. The oil would still be very good kasi nga 1K pa lang ang tinakbo.

Bakit kaya need to change oil at 1k since sariwa pa ang oil mo sayang na sayang yan..

also what will they do to the oil, baka puede pa yan sa mga ibang sasakyan gamitin yon may pagkaluma ng sasakyan...

[chris_d]

Maybe some chemicals remain during the manufacturing process that the oil change will remove from the engine?

Cguro kahit nde na change oil, oil filter na lang palitan, pwede rin kaya?

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.

yep same thing sa Honda plant.. yung mga engine di pa nakakabit sa chassis they run it at top speed to properly seat the valves. Tapos sa end din ng production they do a test drive and run it at highspeed.

Although it doesnt hurt if you do your own break in din.. it says so in the manual yung brakes kailangan din ibrake in so avoid running at high speeds and sudden stops.

usually kase samanufacturing process ng engine may minute metal particles na naiwan sa loob during the factory break in period kaya yung iba pinapalitan yung oil sa 1t km. Yung sa Rav4 and CR-V ngayon AFAIK sa 5t km na palitan. Yung 1t km check up lang libre naman
