Break-in

[mib904]

Mga Sirs,

I just bought a new Innova J Diesel last week. It's still is not with me, though, because the Silver color that I ordered is still unavailable. I would like to ask your expertise regarding the proper way to break-in my unit. I am pretty sure that there will be different opinions and practices so may I request for the model year of your unit, way of break-in, and the status of your unit after the break-in. Also, some technical analysis for your preference will be of great help.

More power to all.

Aside from the break-in procedure, better also to ensure that you practice the proper turbo cool down before turning off your engine to lengthen the lifespan of your turbocharger.

Thank you sir. Will keep that in mind.

Yes sir, most cars applicable siya.

Based from experience, mas nakaka-ganda yan ng FC. You'll notice it after the 1k check-up. Wag lang talaga papaabutin sa 4000rpm.

And as you can see naman, coming from the Sta. Rosa plant hataw rin talaga yung mga units na yan sa expressway.

Parang taxi. From stop, hataw agad.

Basta huwag mo bibiglain ng hahatawin agad from stop. Pwede na yung while cruising ka at 5th gear, 80kph sa NLEX. Saka mo pitik pitikin ng 100-110-120kph. Basta huwag ka rin bababad sa speeds na yun. Pitik lang.

sir,,how many minutes is the cooling time in turning off engine?

[renzo_d10]

wow...dami kong natutunan sa thread na ito ah....

"pitik-pitikin lang pero ihataw mo din ng 120kmh"

"di na uso break in, pero huwag mo ihataw"

hahahaha....

The way to "properly" break-in your vehicle differs from the owner's preferences. By stating na pitik pitik lang at 120-130kph, nilalagay ko sa safe side yung nagtatanong. Not necessarily na ganun gagawin ko kasi mas malakas loob ko...

sir,,how many minutes is the cooling time in turning off engine?

1-2 minutes.

If you don't have the luxury of time to wait, just install a turbo timer.

Korek ka dyan. Na hard break in na nila yan although short time lang.
I see new cars from Santa Rosa na ang tutulin sa SLEX going to Manila.
Normally convoy sila, all with hazard lights flashing and plastic cover all over the interiors.
Then when you get a new car ay 5 Km lang ang reading kasi dini-disconnect nila ang odometer while going to the Casa. I know this because when I bought a car long time ago, it was my first complaint - the odometer was not working - always 5 Km. Nakalimutan daw ikabit.

The worst I saw was a group of Isuzu Dmax (also from their Santa Rosa plant).
I slowed down on a big hump of around 7 inches high.
Then here came a brand new DMAX hazards and all then zipped passed the hump full speed and no brake lights engaged. Idol. I know it has high ground clearance but pity the new owner that even on 2 inches of humps he tries to slow down.

Kailangan pa ba "break in" ngayon?

[j_dipad]

ang alam ko hindi na kelangan i break in ang mga bagong sasakyan ngayon eh, nung bumili kami ng 1.3e na vios tinanong ko kung ibbreak in pa, sabi nila di na daw applicable sa mga bagong labas na sasakyan ngayon, pati nung bumili din kami recently lang ng 2012 hyundai accent, hindi na din daw kelangan, siguro depende nalang sa driver kung gusto ipractice ang pag break in kasi yun ang kinasanayan natin. pero hindi na daw talaga kelangan yun.

Tingin ko nga hinde na rin kailangan.

Sa expressway palang hataw hatawin na ng mga taga-deliver sa CASA yung unit mo. Dati nga, may sumasabay sakin sa 130kph na mga fleet ng mga bagong Vios.

hindi na, live in na ang uso ngayon.

BTT:
just make sure that you have a radar detector pag humataw sa expressway.

[ecneret]

nakasanayan na kasi... kahit nga yung tamiya dati e bini-break-in din pag bagong bili... as in pinapatakbo ng nakatihaya hanggang sa ma-drain yung bagong set ng batteries... ganon daw ang pag-break-in

[zap.FREEDOM]

basta pagka-kuha mo, Drive it real hard like racers do'....vary your speeds 80 - 100- 120 kph, don't stay on constant speed but AFAIK di na kailangan i-break in break pa yan mga ganyan, basta hataw-hatawin mo, yung bagong pick-up nga nabili ng relative ko, pagkakuha namin sa casa, hinataw-hataw na namin agad, 3 days after we got the unit, tinakbo namin pa-Rizal to Quezon, zig-zag, ahon dito, lusong doon,... di naman yan tulad noon mga sasakyan noong 90's na kailangan wag ka muna mag-eexceed ng 80kph kapag wala ka pa sa 100kms odo reading.
