Danieltan07 Neutral Newbie May 12, 2005 Share May 12, 2005 how do you run-in your new car? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear May 12, 2005 Share May 12, 2005 Just drive normally like you did your previous car assuming it isn't a race car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearoil 1st Gear May 12, 2005 Share May 12, 2005 Simple, I teach you. You park your car and open both front doors and stand about 5 metres away from one side of the door. Then on your mark, get set ..GO!...you run towards it and go thru from one door and exiting from the other. There, you have run-in your new car.

Genie47 1st Gear May 12, 2005 Share May 12, 2005 Then just drive normally as you would. Don't worry. Not to scare you but a good run-in takes up to 25k km. Different engines different run-in distances. Just drive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhaal Neutral Newbie May 12, 2005 Share May 12, 2005 If your dealer don't use those huge lorries to carry your new car around, it would have been ran-in by those professional run-inners who drove your car from the docks to whereever it needs to go before you collected your car.

Fortress Clutched May 12, 2005 Share May 12, 2005 Hi, Do not over rev your engine. Less than 3000 or 100 kmh for Japanese car (due to the gear ratio). Generally, nowadays the cars are transported on a large trailers (cheaper for distributors too), so don't worry about what some might say.

Xavier Neutral Newbie May 12, 2005 Share May 12, 2005 How would we know whether we have a good or bad run-in? I just took my ride which is less than 3k km on the odometer to ayer keroh. Using cxxxxxe triple r 5w40, travelling at constant 130km/h to 140km/h.(RPM at 3.5k to 4k) Checked engine oil level still the same and the colour still golden brown. I presume the engine oil is doing its job..hope it is not a bad run-in... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyc Neutral Newbie May 12, 2005 Share May 12, 2005 I got a question here: For the dudes here who follows the 1k run in rule, do u: 1)start engaging in high revs after 1k even before 1k servicing? 2) engage in high revs only after 1k servicing? Is there a diff? Pardon this noobie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkLord 1st Gear May 12, 2005 Share May 12, 2005 Well... I only rev the car after I warmed up the engine by driving for a while... The first few Ks will "train" your ECU, so they are critical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
