just don't drive at any given speed for a prolonged period of time. easy on the brakes especially during the first 300kms. Ive read somewhere that its ok to rev it high once in a while to allow for better sealing of the valve seats.
Mayroong nag rerecomend to do a hard break in para mag seal mabuti ang mga valves. Karamihan nag sasabi na follow the manual.
Anyway, pansin nyo na ang mga bagong deliver na toyota ay may laman na kaagad ang mga odometers. kasi hindi dinadala sa mga dearship by truck kundi mayroon drver na nagdadala. Sa dami kong nakakasabay sa SLEX (from sta rosa) ng mga for delivery, ang bibilis magpa takbo. basta open ang road, at least 100 kph. IMHO, sila ang nag hard break in ng mga toyota cars natin basically.
well, madami nang post about breaking-in brand new car. but there is a recommended procedure on the owners manual.
Manual requires you:
not to accelerate too hard and go too fast for the first 1000km.
not to brake too hard.
not to stay on a particular gear for a prolonged time. Anyway, you really shouldn't.
Manual did NOT explicitly state that:
you can't go faster than 100km/h. I drove dad's Innova up to 140km/h on the day we picked it up.
you can't reach a particular engine speed. But I recommend that you do not rev the engine too high in normal conditions.
Kung walang plans mag out of town, labas mo na ng NLEX, test it at 80-120kph in short intervals. Observe the breaks, suspensions, steering etc. para magka-alaman agad prior to first PMS.
Pero sa totoo lang tapos na break in nyan...Just be aware of the would be defects / problems that may show up. mas maaga mas mabuti.
,,,sabi nga nila na break in na yan, ako nag break-in parang normal driving lang, di lumalagpas ng 2,500rpm at hanggang 90kph lang muna,,,'''
