When you buy a brand new car, there are things you need to keep in mind. How you drive the car for the first 1000 kilometres is important. It is important because a new engine is broken in these first kilometres. The contact between the piston rings and the cylinder wall of the engine is the main focus of breaking in an engine. There are no set instructions on breaking in an engine. Here are a few things you should avoid:
- Avoid full throttle
- Avoid going on high RPMs (Red line)
- Don’t use cruise control
- Avoid short distance travel
- Avoid Towing

1 aur cheetah aya “Engineering Explained” ka maal le kar..
Looks like Pakwheels pay you more if you copy/paste Engineering Explained videos.
ye aik hi cheeta hy :p
but at least jo videos ni daikhin hotin wo to hum daikh laitay
The first picture is of motorbike engines. V-twins, Harley Davidson style, not car engines. If I want to watch videos by engineering explained, I’ll go to their youtube page and see them for myself.
Besides, I asked Suzuki and Honda showroom representatives about this when I was looking for a bike. Both said that the engines come ready to ride from the factory. Only break in newly rebuilt engines.
Yeah they are already driven a few hundred kilometers before delivery.. not all but most..
Have you seen how the factory drivers, transporters & showroom staff drive the new unregistered vehicles?
Can you using Pakwheels platform raise this with all auto.manufacturers to address these important issues at their end as well.
