[@jerryfacts9749]

When I was in my early years I rebuilt a number of engines. I can tell from experience the longer you take to break in an engine the better it is from an engine. The idea is to seat in the piston rings, bushings, and bearings. Keep the RPM on the low side, when driving do not keep the RPM constant as like using the cruise control on the highway. Vary RPM, and do not exceed about 3500 RPM. A soft break in is the best. Drive it normally and do not floor it. There are always some imperfections between surfaces. I do the break in for over 3000 miles. Then I do my first oil change. I use synthetic oil after the engine is broken in. When I buy a new car, I take an easy drive for at least 40 minutes of driving minimum mostly city driving.

I broke my Acura RSX-S in pretty hard and it was a great running car. It seemed to hit it's stride after about 100K. I sold it with 217K miles and it was an amazing engine the whole time. It did use about 1/2 quart of oil every oil change but other Hondas that I've owned did the same thing. I just broke in my GTI semi hard.... a few short full throttle bursts after a couple hundred miles. It's feeling really sassy now at 5K. :)

[@APFSDS-DU]

[@kings17court]

The thoughts of test driving a new vehicle came to mind more than once while watching this video. I've never bought a new car with 0 miles. People do test drives all the time and don't buy them. Then someone comes along and buys it. You have NO idea what that car was put through in previous test drives. They are often driven ridiculously hard. I am always gentle when test driving a new car, because I believe it's the proper thing to do. I know that there is a cost element to it, but I really like what Acura does with the NSX engine break-in.

[@DJGeorgeDisco]

I test drove my car at a dealership next to a highway. Salesman said to take it on the highway and floor it. I did, but then I went to another dealership with no access to fast roads and bought my car there.

[@truedreams1]

When you buy new it should come from the factory, no one should have driven it before.

[@waynesweet8275]

Its simple as he describes. I have broken in two new motorcycles and a majored Lycoming IO-360 the same way; HARD as per the instruction from the Lycoming overhaul facility. Start it and let it idle for no more than two minutes. Shut down and chech for oil leaks. Than taxi to the runway, do a quick mag check, then full throttle climbout to 7500’ leave it at full throttle for the flight. Do that for 25 hours and return for a oil change and compression test. I flew that engine for over 1000 hours and it never burned oil in the 25 hour oil changes. The two motorcycles I seated the rings per racing mechanics; take them to a track and after a lap or two warmup try to set lap faster lap times each successive laps. Then change oil. Had both bikes for more than 80000 miles each and neither burn any oil between 5000 mile oil changes. The worst thing to do to a new or overhauled engine is baby it. You will regret it if you do.

[@benth162]

The speed variance has a purpose on break-in which you did not mention. As the rings slide against the wall of the cylinder, wall it takes off microscopic layers of metal off those walls. When this is done at a constant speed the rings will essentially go to the same place at the top of cycle. Now here is where it gets weird. A lip forms at the top of the stroke on that cylinder wall. if at some point the engines is revved to red line, the heat and the stroke causes the connecting rod to stretch every so slightly which could cause the rings to run into that lip, which could cause the rings to explode, which would cause you to have a multi thousand dollar rebuild. So after break-in, you should do a high RMP periodically after the engine is warmed up, so as to keep that lip from forming.

[@akelashirozaki]

Wait, why do it makes the rings explode?

I have run in a 24 new cars (evenly split between petrol and diesels) over the last 40 years which varied from Lada 1200s to a Peugeot 205 GTi and other small performance hatches. This video matches my own findings, especially the recommendation to use a light throttle and moderate revs for the first 200-300 miles whilst varying engine speed then gradually step on it a bit more as the miles progress. I would also advise against labouring the engine at all when running in as this can cause serious damage, possibly more than initially driving too hard.

Although I agree entirely with the video another tip(which my father used to do on the many engines he built for friends) is change the oil after no more then 300 initial miles even if the dealership/manufacturer says 1000 or 3000 or whatever. The first 300 miles creates the most metal particles. The acura engine lab that breaks in their engine in 150 miles runs continuous oil through the engine to constantly flush the new parts as the bed into one another.

[@simd510]

put magnets on the oil filter to catch it

[@brandonvazquez9380]

Wish I new this earlier… just got a 2022 gr86 and been flooring it. Wish me luck

[@buckaroobonsi555]

You know if we where talking about 1970's level of surface finish and materials I would have to agree with you 100%. The thing is the surface finish on engines friction surfaces is fantastic on a lot of brands. The use of moly rings and and rollerized rockers and low tensions rings is a game changer I think. Sure WOT on a new engine might not be the best thing but 1/2 to 3/4 WOT and up to low speeds from a rolling start like 10 mph up to 50mph and plenty of engine breaking(standard transmission) is claimed by some to be the best way to properly seat rings the first 150 miles. Dodge owners manuals from the 1970's all the way up through my Dad's 2001 said to do some hard pulls during break in the owners manual. I think the RPM limits though of staying below 4000 RPM makes perfect sense! Most recommendation in Owners Manuals are aimed at idiotic owners and lowest common denominator across all product lines few OEM owner's manuals have vehicle specific recommendations until you get to Super High Performance Cars or 1 Ton Trucks most of the rest are cut and past. Most OEM's do not even trust the customer to make intelligent decisions on oil viscosity based on usage and ambient temperature let alone tracking the car versus daily driver. You get one recommended oil viscosity and that is it usually 5W20, 5W30 for most OEM's in North America. Traditionally when most cars where rear wheel drive the biggest reason for keeping speeds low during break-in was due to ring and pinon temperatures not because of the piston rings. Lapping ring and pinion gears and matching them very closely is expensive and time consuming and add's complication to staging at the production level. When you rebuild old engines the general rule of thumb is to fire them up quickly after priming the system and to keep the RPM's above 2000 and not to rev because it slings the oil off the cam and the off the rings while increasing heat and loading especially at the wrist pin. Drop to low and the cams often took a hit. My Dad basically does what Acura does but he does not have a computer programmed dynamic chassis dyno to do it for him! You might want to take a look at Honda and Toyota factory fill used oil analysis UOA after the recommended oil change interval OCI. You will see some 10,000 mile UOA of factory fill during break-in in some Honda's that have show insanely low break-in wear with unremarkable factory oil with low really good particle counts. Same thing from Toyota. You can tell where the wear is taking place from by which metals are in the UOA. So it is not that I really disagree to much with you only that I think people are often living a few decades behind in terms of how gingerly they treat their car's during an extended break-in period that really has no basis in fact. Since UOA is so cheap and you can get a particle count with it as well there is no need to trust the OEM 100% blindly you can now do your own research as well. Int he case of GM I have seen UOA of most of their V8's and often even at 50,000 on the power train using great oils and modest OCI and light use the engine will have terrible wer number's compared to a modern Toyota or Honda I4 or V8 with cheap oil and max OCI. I think you have to look at production methods, materials used, surface finish of the parts when it leaves the factory, power density etc....

[@Davido50]

buckaroobonsi555 ...your long winded and provide zero evidence to back up your opinions. There is absolutely nothing special about a Honda or Toyota regarding engine manufacturing vs a VW or GM or Ford! Sorry.

I have owned 10 new vehicles and have never had a engine failure or one that had a oil consumption problem.

The tow truck driver came and when i tried to get it up the flatbed it was making the most horrendous noise of death and made no power. It sounded like rods and bearings were trying to pummel their way out the block. He asked if it was mine and when i told him it was a rental he was like 'ahh no problem' and forced it to crawl up onto the back of the truck under its own power. dumped it at the rental place and got my replacement the next morning, lol.

What about changing oil after break in?

[@u9Nails]

Bottom feeder My motorcycle recommended this. But it's engine design incorporates the crank, transmission, and clutch in the same space. I would think with a car's motor that it wouldn't hurt at all.

[@TheWolvesCurse]

Bottom feeder the oil they put in new cars when they leave the manufacturing plant, usually contains additives to help the break in period and keep the engine from damage. don't change it before you reach the interval reccommended by the manufacturer.

[@atizeg]

AFAIK at the assembly they put some "paste" around the piston what degrades/disappears during the breaking in period. The original oil should be in the engine until the first service.

[@oceanbytez847]

Joey Zuraski the gauge is still an estimate. there is no magical "oil life" sensor. plus software can fail. Technology is not a substitution for basic care and common sense.

[@madlucio70]

Great video! Much appreciated. I just finished the 1600 km break-in for my new 2023 Crosstrek PHEV. I had the hardship of having to travel 400km at the end of every week (200km to and from). I never used cruise control and I tried never to stay at a constant speed for more than a few minutes at a time. Basically 90-115, drop back to 98 and then back up to 115...Back down again. Not the perfect break-in process, but best I could do! I was able to do a lot of start, stop, cruise a bit in the cities between long trips. I also put it in "Save Mode" before hitting highway speeds so that that the engine had some warm up time before the eventual save mode (electric + engine) highway parts of the trip. I never floored it, slammed on the brakes or forced the engine from 0. I just took her in today @ 1800 km for the first check-up, oil change, etc. Now on to driving normally with cruise control and such!

[@kMan00001]

[@Gunnypauly73]

I agree with you for the most part, and what differences we may have are negligible , but I've been in a engine dyno room where they take a new or a rebuilt engine and ultimately do full engine pulls to max rpm's. In fairness they do some break in runs, and gradually raise the rpm's, but with in 25 mins or so, the engine is run to max rps for max power, packaged up, and shipped to the customer.

Check timing, valve lash, fluid leaks, change the oil, and make a full RPM run under full load. The only way to calculate the horsepower is under load

[@Kieva_Storm]

I'll just say as a dealership service technician, most engine failures I have seen have not been related to the break in process, there's definitely some forgiveness to the rules. However, I have noticed that most early engine failures I've seen, as in under 5000 miles, have been on muscle and performance engines, including the case of a Charger with totally bald rear tires (at 4900 miles).

I toured the BMW manufacturing plant in Spartanburg,SC in 2000. At the time they were making the Z sports car.

The current thinking is Short full-throttle bursts are actually beneficial for "seating" the rings.

My thinking, too. Maybe one or two WOT bursts once everything is warmed up properly, and then from an intermediate speed of say 40 MPH up to 60 MPH.

[@TheGreatMunky]

It'd be nice if a manufacturer just took two or three brand new engines and did easy driving break-in, normal driving break-in, and aggressive driving break-in and then showed the wear side by side for a final and definitive answer to this. (No, this actually isn't that expensive to a car company. It's R&D cost.) I was always told that you should drive it like you would normally drive it because then it'll break-in to your driving habits instead of soft driving and then a complete change after 1,000-1,500 miles. Obviously you shouldn't be flooring it much during normal daily driving, but you probably won't be using only 50% throttle and keep it under 3,000 rpm either.

[@qwesx]

They have very expensive simulation software. While it's still a simulation and thus not completely accurate they still feel the need to waste a few pages in the manual on how to use the car during that period.

[@TheGreatMunky]

qwesx I guess so. Just seems like when arguing back and forth on which way is better goes on for decades it'd be easier just to have a definite answer. Could also be that wear in needs to be done differently with normal oil than with synthetic too. I'd just be very curious to see the wear side by side.

[@oceanbytez847]

TheGreatMunky well one thing is obvious. more gas translates into more energy. more energy will definately increase the rate of wear. its just a matter of how much or even if it is worth noting at all.

[@TheGreatMunky]

Alex V4 Agreed. A side-by-side would be nice. Engines are built daily, so this should've been done by a manufacturer by now.

[@sijankhan7796]

As Jason mentioned, I think the problem ultimately comes down to your manufacturing tolerance. There's variability in how well assembled one car is compared to the next car on the line, and each car will have different break-in needs because a car has so many different components. Drivers will also be driving these cars under different environments, so the load on the car is different from buyer to buyer. So you have to account for these variability as well.

[@hugieflhr03]

Manufacturers have gotten crazy over break in oil changes. I had an 08 X5 BMW and they made me drive that vehicle 14,000 miles on the break in oil. Needless to say the engine had many problems and we unloaded it before the 50,000 mile warranty was up!

[@johnebuckland]

Not sure if its the manufacter or the dealership giving out misinformation. I called a dealership today and he said the manufacturer would void my warranty if they changed the oil before the first 15000km/10,000mile service.

[@IsamBitar]

I actually didn't know you needed to break-in your engine. As a first-time brand-new buyer next month, perfect timing! Thanks.

[@lifeisgood070]

Flooring is bad. But I've had a lot of success at 1/4 and 1/2 throttle - gear by gear low rpm to close to redline and back down (engine breaking). Use each gear and do 1/4 throttle. Most people won't be able to do this in all the gears though as you have to be in a pretty desolate spot. Those engines seem to always fire hard for me and make good compression especially at low rpms in the higher gears. And you always want to change the oil in the first 200-500 miles. Don't believe that factory bs of 15k per oil change on the first oil change. Every engine will have a good amount of metal sand that will be a lower micron than the oil filter.

[@lifeisgood070]

@M Bacon Most oil filters only catch particles larger than 20microns maybe 30 microns if it's a toyota filter. Not sure I follow you. I'm inferring you are saying that leaving

[@lifeisgood070]

@M Bacon Yeah overall I'm just really lost here. Have you dyno'd any of these engines broken in this way? I used to race bikes side by side with different break in methods. Could totally be user error but it always seemed like the sportbikes that broke in with these slow long throttle applications and regular engine breaking, pulled way harder and were routinely faster even when swapping bikes.

We built a 450 hp Cleveland and i started flogging it within a week of the build. it never used oil, detonated, smoked or fouled plugs. it quite often got beaten on straight out of the shed and put away wet after a hard ride so to speak. it accidentally (yep) saw 7000 plus rpm too many times and when i pulled it down to check it out about 10000 ks after the build it still looked like new inside. i put it back together and i have flogged it for another 10000 ks and it still doesn't miss a beat. so moral of the story? build it right in the first place then beat down hard on it!!!!!!!

Your dealer has probably turned the car on and driven it from place to place on the lot without letting it warm up 30 times or so. When you buy it, you'll sit in it while idling at a single load/speed for half an hour while the salesman tells you every setting you can change in the menus. The last few guys who test drove it, already took it to redline to "see what she'll do." Motorcyclist magazine just did a test on this taking two new engines and breaking one in per spec and they other by beating the living hell out of it. When they opened them up afterward, they looked the same.

The worst part of a new car brake in is that the dealers let them idle for a long time, frequently start them and move them 100 feet and on top of that they get test driven with full throttle acceleration then with max brake application. If you can find one fresh off the truck its best. To wear in rings spend the first 200 miles accelerating moderately then going to 0 throttle then accelerating again gradually getting more aggressive with the acceleration.

[@timdegroot4159]

Like Acura claims, most of the breaking in of the piston rings will be done the first 100-150 miles. until 200 miles if will refine a bit, but after 300 miles, the rings are not going to change, because the sharp edges of the crosshedge will be smoothened out to the point that they do not polish the rings anymore. That is also why not to change the break-in oil too early. The small metal particles worn off the cylinder wall actually help breaking in the rings. The breaking in of the camshafts vary much more, depending on the layout chosen by the manufacturer. 50% throttle and under 3500 rpm for a petrol car are quote good measures for the first 300 miles, than gradually increase the load and engine speed. The cylinder wall has not changed a lot, but the rings are made from a harder material nowadays. this means that the crosshatch wears down as fast, but the rings break in less. Rings nowadays are made much more accurate to begin with, but especially the first 100 miles try to avoid running it stationary or at a super low load with constant rpm for a long time. This causes to wear down the crosshatch without proper breaking in of the rings. Overall, comon sense for at least the first 500 miles will do the job.

Also break in the brakes gently. No jamming them if it unnecessary. I broke in a new honda civic recently by driving on a hilly curvy road next to a river. I varied the rpm between 1k and 4k and gently applied the brakes to slow down.
