Yup, yan na yung break-in recommendations. Running-in lang ang ginamit na term.

cross check it with the first PMS cycle, if the manufacturer skips the 1000km then its most likely broken in at the factory thats why they left out the breakin procdure

in which you can drive it as hard as you wish

the numbr1 enemy of any engine is HEAT. too much of it then your engine is kaput

freshly manufactured engines moving parts are TIGHTLY screwed together which generates more heat due to friction when moved. push it hard could result in too much heat due to friction and have a disastrous result of the moving parts bonding together. another possible effect is the melting of the sealant around the engine block which could result in a leakage for the combustion process that will adversely affect your engine performance

patience is a virtue and the number1 enemy of a brand new engine is patience because it takes time to loosen up those mechanical innards

dont fall into that trap

Before we drive our unit home sabi ng SA na break in na, pero may note sa owner's manual.. Sabi ng iba derecho daw sa highway para masanay sa high speed drive, then yung 'drive it like you stole it' pa.

some manufacturers strive hard to standardize the breakin process by doing it themselves. this is another way in dealing with impatient customers, those who cant control their rush to step on the gas pedal as soon as they step behind the wheels

additionally, not all manufacturers have standard practice in incorporating engine breakin on their end. i would surmise most sports cars have undergone breakin during manufacturing because sports car enthusiast are spirited drivers

every consumer should note that not all car designs are created equal. read the manual, dont simply take your sales agent word for it

No matter what the SA or the people in this forum give you, follow what the manual says. It is the most credible source of information of your car you can get. Some people here will mock you & try to confuse you while others will act like experts. Just read the owner's manual. Run in period is just 1000 kms. Sandali lang yun.

So bottomline is to thoroughly read the owner's manual, check if there's any info written about operating a brand new vehicle. If none, maybe just follow what other car makers suggested? Like what you said sir di mo mamamalayan nakaka 1000Km ka na.

What if sumobra po tayo sa speed limit na sinasabe sa owner's manual? May mangyayare ba sa makina?? Or halimbawang di nasunod ng ayos ung running in period?

Most Asian car break in guidelines is not to run at a constant speed for an extended period of time (or vary speed) not to idle too long (or try not to get stuck in traffic) & not to go beyond 3,000 rpm (or don't race your engine). Di naman masisira yun if you exceed the recommended, as long as you don't abuse it. Many here take their cars on a road trip with proper run in rules in mind.
