Proper Break-In Procedures

[devdevlin]

feeling ko natanong na to noon pero ano ba maganda paraan mag-break in ng bago oto?

it should be in the user's manual.

generally, don't rev hard, dont stay in a particular speed for an extended period, dont use it to tow a vehicle etc. easy driving lang in other words.

yan yung mga nakalagay sa manual ko.

Mag-schedule ka ng malayu-layong trip.

A week after we got our brand-new Adventure, we went on a whole-day trip to Tagaytay; this aside from our daily Antipolo-Quezon City-Antipolo drive. Excited kasi umabot ng 1,000kms eh.

dont stay in a particular speed for an extended period,

nabasa ko sa manual nga ganito din, pero bakit "dont stay..." d ibig sabihin u do a wide range of different speeds? how about the rpm? and pano ang extended period, how long is the extended period?

mali ata ang breaking in ko... i stay in 2000-3000 rpm (but 3000 is minsan lang and quick, less than 40secs) in various speeds depending on the gear im in. its an A/T FYI.

so ok lang ba o mali, im at 500 na..

I've read somewhere in the internet, to break-in an engine properly, rev it hard, but slowly.

So put it in 5th gear from nought to red line!

personally i do it in stages.. like for the first 400km or so, i dont go beyond 3k rpm. and i dont stay too long at a certain rpm. example when on nlex, i would switch between 85-95kph in 5 minute intervals. then i would squeeze in a burst of 100-110 kph for a minute or two then back down to 85-95.

after that i'd progressively increase my top speed and rpm to probly 2/3 of redline (or anywhere between 120-150kph).

agree din ako dun sa dont work out the car too much (ex. towing heavy stuff, running fast with a full load, etc..)

or do what drag racers in a hurry do. fill the tank with gas, get on the strip, then do launches on 1st gear to redline, then release the gas (dont brake) until 1k rpm, then step on it again to redline, then release till 1k rpm until you consume the full tank. then change oil and filters

just schedule a long trip bago mag first 1km. wala na kami iniintindi pa iba, may warranty naman eh

how about the myth of the Baguio trip for break-in? hindi ba makakasama yun paakyat sa break-in? even antipolo or Tagaytay? diba stressful yun para sa Makina?

ginagawa kasi namin sa break-in sa new car or newly overhauled engine e biyahe from Makati to Santa Rosa to Tagaytay to Cavite then Manila and back to Makati ng madaling araw while praying na di makasalubong ng white lady or masiraan dun sa madilim na parte ng Santa Rosa to Tagaytay kakatakot dun e..

Sa akin, no choice since sa Antipolo talaga kami nakatira, so paglabas pa lang ng casa (Diamond Motors Quezon Ave.), pa-full tank agad sa Petron, tapos sundo kay misis sa office, then uwi na sa bundok.

Wala namang naging adverse effects sa makina (as far as we can tell).
