THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not requ ired for the engine in
you r new vehicle.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a
high quality energy conserving typ e lubricant. Oil
changes shou ld be consistent with anticip ated climate
cond itions und er which vehicle operations will occur.
The recom mend ed viscosity and quality grad es are
show n in Section 7 of this manu al. NON-DETERGEN T
OR STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST NEVER BE
USED.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km).
After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speed s up to 50 or 55
mph (80 or 90 km/ h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration, within the
limits of local traffic law s, contribu tes to a good break-in.
Wide-op en throttle acceleration in low gear can be detri-
mental and shou ld be avoid ed.
A new engine may consu me som e oil during its first few
thou sand miles (kilom eters) of operation. This shou ld be
consid ered as a norm al part of the break-in and not
interp reted as an ind ication of difficulty.
