    Breaking in a new car

    OK, there are 2 (opposite) theories about breaking in a new car.
    The conventional one: Drive like a senior citizen, never go over 3000rpm for the first 1000 (some say 5000) km.
    The second one: go fast, drive it like you stole it.

    What do the gfy mechanics recommend?

      If it has any power at all then you can be pretty sure the boys unloading it have already given it a beating.

                  Pretty sure most modern engines would be sufficiently "broken-in" from the factory. Having said that, every thing I have ever read about the subject suggested keeping it below 3000 rpm for the first little while, then gradually bringing it up to full acceleration.

                  If you follow whatever is suggested in the owner's manual as far as break-in / your first oil change, I doubt you are going to have any problems.

                      I doubt it matters nearly as much anymore as it use to

                          Its already done for ya, breaking in engines etc only applies to when you get your engine rebuilt or you went in a time machine to the 60 70 80s lol

                          hehe

                          so my recommendation is find a lonely highway and give at it LOL

                              Also, I used to work for Audi. I went to the launch of the new Audi TT on the nurnbergring Germany. Audi had 100 brand new 3.2 Quattro lined up on the circuit with a maximum of 50 miles on the counter

                              WE GAVE THEM HELL!!!!! Cuz if you were to slow you got removed from the track........

                              So if Audi doesn't worry, you shouldn't worry

                                  good question. I know with motorcycles and scooters you need to go easy for a set amount of kilometres. I would think, depending on the car, you would want to do the same, but im not even close to an expert

                                              Exactly! Good luck on getting one that hasn't been floored when the engine is cold.

                                                              Both theories make sense, but I tend towards beating the shit out of it cause it makes a little more sense to me. Basically the break in period is to get the rings seated properly, shich is why you have crosshatching on the cylinder walls. The rings grind some of that crosshatching down so the cylinder walls match the deformities of the ring itself and that way you wind up with a good seal. From what I understand the side that is telling you to go easy is thinking that it will happen as a slow gradual process that will happen over time. The side that wants you to beat on it says that by beating the living shit out of it right out of the box you get those walls ground down quick and you get a better seal because the walls are honed while the edge on the rings is still fresh.

                                                              Personally I jsut follow the instructions givin to me by teh engine builders cause then it's their problem.
