Proper Break-In Procedures

[devdevlin]

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

[Asus700]

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

Tsikot Tsips!

I posted before a car comparison thread between honda, toyota, mazda, and nissan. But I end up buying an Corolla Altis E. Mas Ok na talaga ang kumuha ng bago kaysa luma.

Paano ba ang pinaka tamang paraan para ma "break-in" ang isang Toyota car? We had a civic 96 vtec, and was told that we really need not to "break-in" the car because it is factory "break-in".

I hope you guys could advise how to do that the best way!

Salamat at mabuhay ang Tsikot!

Abang din ako sa thread na ito...nakakuha din ako ng bagong Altis.

[finchy18]

congrats bro sa altis mo.

[kyle618]

just dont rev it above lets say 4k rpm and dont go for the top speed runs yet until the 1tkm mark. pero don't baby it din naman... un tama lang dapat.

I'd say you drive it like you normally would....

Redline the engine if you want. Na-factory break in na rin yan.
