Proper Break-In Procedures

[mazdamazda]

contrary to popular myth, you should also "break-in" the mid to high rpm zone of your vehicle (4K rpm and up).

just don't do jack rabbit starts though... no hard revving... just accelerate properly without going to the next gear.

you should see how the car's engine is revved & accelerated in ford's plant (in a stationary machine though).

papano kung AT? should i keep it in 2 or L para maabot ko yun higher rpm's?

"Most modern car engines are broken in at the factory, before assembly. Therefore the old tradition of breaking in a new car doesn't apply anymore. Just drive as you normally would drive and treat the car the way you would treat anything else of value."

eto mga tol nabasa ko sa wiki. nag-aaply din ba to sa mga currently models ng sasakyan ngyon dto sa pinas?

But after my first tank i babied it until now except for the occasional stoplight run ins with the ricers :lol:

Factory break-in or not, it certainly doesn't hurt to exercise prudence in driving your new purchase for the next few weeks or so.

IMO Kasabihan na lang yang break in para maipasyal at ma-road test. The
best is gamitin mo ng gamitin properly within the warranty period to exactly
monitor not only the engine but all the components. Engine wise, revving it
without exceeding the redline is preferred para mainat.
Once warranty expires there’s going to be no choice but totally ingatan na
or else.

once mag-expire ang warranty pwde ba mag-avail ng extension or renewal? with a fee i guess.

similar to appliances / electronics? i guess none but seriously if there
is ayos yun. the bottomline kasi after the warranty expires is lahat sagot na
natin. so dun mag-a-accumulate yung mga stress at ingat na ginawa natin
while covered pa.

Yung dealership na nagbenta sa akin, they offered me an additional 2-year limited warranty, on top of the standard 3 years. For a fee, of course.

Hindi ko na kinuha, kasi ubos na yung pera ko sa unit, rehistro at insurance pa lang eh.

yup... ganun na nga.

just don't keep it revving only a certain engine speed... or i-redline mo lagi.
