Why? new engines of today has now a "Ceramic Coated or Chrome Coated Cylinder Barrel/Sleeve."

In layman's term, the cylinder walls where the piston is has a chrome coating that makes a slippery surface that will make your engine more durable, efficient and plus there will be lesser friction thus lower engine heat.

Contradictory to old engines, those have Steel Barrels or Steel Cylinder sleeve that needs to be broken in so the piston rings can fit properly while it kinda shave the barrel to make the piston and the rings slide in its size.

what you really need to do based on the manual is to take care of the vehicle for the first 1000km and observe the changes after.

Sir, thanks for the explanation. Now i understand.

Yup. Strict break-in practices are more crucial after an engine overhaul then a brand new engine nowadays. Some high performance engines though still have strict break in procedures to follow though. For me however, i still practice watching my right foot when i'm in the first few hundred kms but it becomes a free for all right before i bring the car in for the 1000 PMS.

On the 1,000PMS, my understanding on this is it's crucial as there may be some dirt or imperfections from the engine assembly process that may be circulating inside so this is washed out with the first change oil.

When was the last time you've read in owners manual about the proper breaking in a new car...I can't remember I don't think it's even written there.

Saka diba before ilabas nila yan na test na yan para makita kung yun power ng engine eh kaya talags doon Sa ratings nila

It just occurred to me, what if you buy a new car with a prehistoric engine - say, an Adventure (4D56) or a Crosswind (4JA1). Would they still need to be broken in? After all, they're using the same engine setups for the past 20 years or so.

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 Car maybe "BRAND NEW" but the engines are "OLD."

, better also to ensure that you practice the proper turbo cool down before turning off your engine to lengthen the lifespan of your turbocharger.

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

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...

1-2 minutes.

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