- How to Break In A New or Rebuilt Engine. This video will explain how to break in a new car engine. It is important to break in a new engine so you get a good piston ring seal and good wear on engine parts when it is first breaking in. This method applies to most cars but there are always exceptions so read your owners manual.

One tip to breaking in your engine is to change your radio stations. Don't leave any radio station on for more than 25 seconds. If you do this, you WILL cause damage to your head gasket.
And dont forget to replace the blinkerfluid: th-cam.com/video/E6GsXhBb10k/w-d-xo.html
ChrisFix you can never forget the blinker fluid
@@ugway051 You should put All Season Air in your tires
Omg😭
And less than 10 seconds if you hear Biden talking otherwise would create permanent damage to your well being.
I thaught it said "how to break into a new car"
Carter Berglund yeah lol
Nice one lol
Same XD

New engine break in is like getting a pair of dress shoes, you don't put them on and go dancing all nite, your feet would be dying
+zyplex1 Exactly! Good analogy haha
+ChrisFix nice car choice
zyplex1 ? Ohh I get it LOL
I do
I did that once and lost both my feet
I'll never have the money for a new car, so what the hell am I doing here...?
haha me to:((
You don't know that it could happen
Learning?
ikr just got used cars never got a new one 😂
That Red Truck There new to you
I broke in my new car by bringing it straight to the drag strip from the dealership. I floor it whenever I accelerate and I slam the breaks and put it into park at 10 mph.
I always shift into "R" for race gear at 30 mph
Lolol Ol
xchxa
LOL it's been 2 years, how's the car
Na turn the engine on and just have it at max rpm
Just floor it for the first 500 miles = extra 20hp
u sure my man
nah, pretty sure you floor it for the first 20 miles and you get 500 bhp extra
I'm sure I did this on my 5.7
He is really not talking crap. If flooring it in the beginning it will be more powerful but it wont last as long.
Marcel Stöwing not sure if you're trolling or not. If you are, congrats to your advanced trolling if not, enlighten me please.
In the 70's, we used to put up signs on the rear window of new cars that said "IN RODAGE" (breaking in) to warn other drivers that the car might be going slower during the break-in period.
+Gertjan Moens thats so cool.
+Marco Reus close, this was in Flanders.
and nowadays, people driving doesn't have a sign "Road Rage" they just rage out of nowhere xD
Look at Chris fix’s sound in 2014-2020

Chris, Thank you for all your videos. They have helped
me a lot keeping my 2007 Escape Hybrid running strong with 218k miles. THANK YOU!!!!
BRO I HAVE THE SAME CAR
Wow thats cool. Did you have to replace anything expensive on it?
I have a 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid.
I wish there was some sort of more scientific study that showed the results of proper vs improper break in procedures. People are all over the place on what they recommend and everyone thinks they know best and that everyone else is wrong.
Honestly I bet it really won't make a big difference. So many engines are never broken in properly and have lived for over 150k. I think it's something that you should do, but in reality, if it was that big an issue, it would be put in big letters up front and people would be told more often to do it.
+Michael Sullivan The interest of car manufacturers isn't to make a car last forever just until the end of warranty. IMO A badly run in car maybe works "well" just consumes more oil/fuel looses some power etc. Dealer can sell a nother car earlier if it ages faster... :s
i think the ceo of porsche once said that you shouldnt break it in, he said that most of the people that broke their engines in where the guys that blew their engines.
KTM did it with its motorbikes. 2 identical motorbikes were tested. One was raced immediately as it fired up while other was following the manual. The one following the manual lasted twice as long.
I would disagree, I dont think its in interest of any car manufacturer that their cars start breaking down after few years. That would hurt their reputation and no one would buy them.
I have a 2017 Camry and the manual has clear instructions on breaking in the car, so this guy knows what he's talking about. I am at 400 miles and working it thru the process.
Thanks for the tip! I just bought my first new car and didn't know about this. I only read about the features so this is a nice heads-up for us who haven't read the entire manual just yet. :)
I was with my friend whenever he bought a brand new Dodge Dart, then immediately hit the interstate and floored it. I died a little inside when he did that.
Now he can start having problems when it hits like 100 k lmao smh
his Dodge died a little also
i mean it is a dodge, it's gonna die soon anyway...lol
Not as bad as a Chevy that's for sure.
Lol chevy and dodge are the same. All american. All crap. Japanese are the top. Honda's are known to be riced out but for those who are not, they last A LONG time. They are also not too bad, 300 horsy for an accord is not too bad. Most teens who floor 300hp end up straight in a ditch anyways.
I did a burnout in my 2016 Tacoma with 500 miles >•
Definitely not good!
ChrisFix that Toyota was broken in.
Shit car
A Tacoma isn't a car ya idiot.
Chinesefoodrocks1521 What do you fucken think it is then
Good advice! My 2001 Chrysler Sebring Convertible has 102500 miles, and has been all over North America (yes, Canada and into Mexico too as well as 35 US States). I'm a fan of doing the first oil change at 1000 miles, no matter what the manual says...just because you know it's a new engine and there will be shavings, etc as things seat properly. Best to remove them before they can break something later.
I just got my brand new Fiesta today, so far I've done 28km on it. These were good tips and some I didn't know before, like having to avoid keeping constant rpm for extended periods. On my old Fiesta I went on a road trip after having clocked around 700km and on that trip I used cruise control whenever I could, didn't know it wasn't good for a new engine.
CruiseControl is better than some Car Rentals. I remember - got Hyundai Veloster with 1.6TGDi from rental, with literally no mileage. Had around 400kms to do. I did a proper "break in". Next day i had to give it back, they even called me & asked if they can send someone to pick up that car. First thing that man did was redlining it at takeoff. Less than 1k km on odo, cold engine.
Thats why i think cruise control is still ok, because Youre covering a lot of engine loads @ specified rpm.
Other youtube mechanics will drive and shoot video simultaneously, which I find dangerous and irresponsible. I appreciate that you had an assistant for this video. Thank you!
Matt Bono Thanks Matt. I try not to video while driving and if I do, I use a tripod or someone holds the camera for me.
Hey Chris. I am a long time subscribe (at least I think LOL). You are doing a great service to the car community and I am one of the people who really appreciate it. This is one of your really old videos I am watching on 12/18/2018 but I wanted to commend you on the awesome job you did and continue to do even now. Please keep up the GREAT VIDEOS and screw the nay sayers (if there are any).
Thanks dude! This is perfect! Exactly what I needed to know 👍🏼
Thank you! I am just about to get my first brand new engine, it's exciting but I know you have to take special precautions to prolong longevity of a new engine
Some really great advice here. Much of it is ignored by most of us, but taking heed will pay huge dividends over time.
Just don't rev up the engine to the red line for the first 1K miles and, and don't brake too hard and you should be ok.
Everything else mentioned here is optional. Change your oil at around 2K miles, and put full synthetic in. Then, change it every 7K miles and your engine should last a really long time, unless it's a Chrysler/Fiat.
2000 for the first oil change ? why? dealer told me to have my first oil change 7,500 miles. please explain thanks much!
A brand new engine will always have a break-in period, where microscopic (and not so small) metal particles can detach from parts, and possibly contaminate the oil. Having the first oil and filter change at around 2000 miles ensures that you remove any contaminants. Some say that modern engines are built to higher standards and tighter tolerances than they used to, and that's mostly true. So the effects of the breaking-in period might not be as dramatic as say 30 years ago. But why take a chance ? Better safe than sorry I always say. And definitely put synthetic as soon as possible, you'll be glad you did down the road.
AlainHubert thanks so much!
What? my 1.1 FIRE engine from FIAT, has never seen oil etc. and still runs, over 200000miles.
AlainHubert I've never had an issue with the 1.4l turbo charged fiat engine in my Dodge dart. After the break in period was over the car has pretty much been driven like it's been stolen without any issues.
I am still breaking in my new van diesel engine... good to find this video useful :)
good information, think they usually recommend not exceeding 4000rpm for that first 1000 miles aswell, i roughly change gear between 2000-2500 rpm usually or if I'm accelerating up to dual carriageway/motorway speeds 3000-4000rpm. But we was extra careful during the break in process of our car and it hasn't let us down. 13 years on and it's still running like it did brand new.
I read about this man who owned a VW Beetle - he owned it from new and he had travelled a1,000,000 miles in it (a real masochist IMO - those old bombs are hell to drive).
His secret was this; a) when doing a cold start, don't move the car until it's idled for at least a minute. And when it's idling, maybe depress the accelerator a little so it's a bit above the usual idle RPM's. b) take it easy with the gas pedal for the first 15 minutes of driving. And that's pretty much it.
I have to laugh sometimes. There was this bloke I worked with who owned a brand spanking new utility. He took great care of it in regards to the paint work and body work, yet at the end of the work day everyone is scrambling to their cars and wanting to be the first out of the carpark - he would cold start his new ute and immediately race off!
I like how I've just randomly been recommended this 🤣
Basically right after I just watched his video removing sugar from the vandalized car
Huh, funny, exact same then here! Guessing the algorithm isn't as individualized as I thought
Catalin Deluxus I guess so
Yea same. Well it's awesome to rewatch old videos :D
Sameee
You are the best i just bought a 2017 Honda accord sport special edition and ive been going crazy trying to figure out in the manual where to know what miles the engine breaks in lol thank you Chris you are the best
Very helpful! Thank you ChrisFix! 👊🏻
I'm glad the video was helpful!
You break it in by following the manufacturers directions.
It's simply down to varying your speed and engine revs constantly and this also means up to red line.
Mostly good info Fixes Chris...!
Most important part of a cars life
JkandI It is definitely smart to break in your engine when you make such a large investment with a new car!
Thank you so much for all your video. Im a new driver at it really help a lot.
Hey Chris! Thank you for your videos! You had helped me a lot! I want to ask you if you have any rotary tips and tricks? Because I own an RX-8. All the best!
The last car I had for over 200k miles on it, I didn't even bother that break-in procedure. I understand that to follow the manufacturer suggested not to change the engine oil unit the schedule maintenance according to the menu. I put 50k+ miles each year for business travel. I turned on the cruise control while the car was under 100 miles and cruising for hours. No problem. Just do not do hash to your new car and keep on time on the maintenance and that's it. Do not abuse but also do not paranoid to just a piece of metal.
Letting your car warm up for a few seconds has little to do with it being new. Building up oil pressure and getting that oil through the whole engine while keeping RPM low till it happens is important for any ICE vehicle of any age. It's the morons who don't know this who tell you to not let your engine idle before driving in order to save an ounce of gas, ignoring that it's worse for the environment to trash the whole vehicle sooner due to cold engine wear.
+Stinky Cheese In most cars you don't even need to idle them as long as you use to. Most cars now adays suggest you don't it causes more damage to the engine. Always a debate in my family my grandfather worked for the automotive industry and he suggests that you let it all warm-up, but you can do this too by keeping the RPMs low and actually driving the car it helps a bit more. I hear what you are saying, though.
Show me a single vehicle manufacturer statement that letting a car idle causes more damage. The ONLY negative thing about letting it idle for a few (minutes at most, but I'm talking about tens of seconds) is that it will use a few teaspoons of fuel, BUT that's not necessarily even true because if you try to drive while the old is colder there is more drag and more throttle is needed for any particular RPM and resultant vehicle speed.
No, there is nothing about newer vehicles that make them need to idle less. They still should get the oil circulating before stress is placed on moving parts. Perhaps you only mean engines with fewer miles on them will run better at idle, so a newer vehicle will on average have an engine with fewer miles, but also that in the past 20 years vehicles have moved to more using 0W20, 5W20, and 5W30 (including synthetic) oil instead of 10W30 or 10W40 dino oil which even with the same W(n), flows worse when cold.
You don't need to let a car completely warm up, just to get the oil fully circulated and be using the correct viscosity for the temperature. You cannot drive a cold engine and keep the RPMs or the stresses on it nearly as low as just idling in park. Driving it does warm it up faster but puts more stress on it while it does so.
A more reasonable amount of time to wait after starting the engine is 20 seconds. This is not much of a burden if the first thing you do is start it, THEN put your seatbelt on, then adjust radio or A/C or defogger, look around for pedestrians, and away you go.
This USED to matter. When cars were carbureted, they had very poor fuel atomization when cold and that would cause gas to stick to the cylinder walls, thus cleaning the oil off them. But with modern fuel injection this is no longer an issue. You still want everything at operating temperatures before beating on you car, and you still wanna give it a few seconds for oil to be pumped through everything. But after maybe 10 seconds it's better to drive your car, so it get warmed up faster. Just don't drive it hard.
Stinky Cheese The car take more damage when it's running cold. Idling till it's warm takes longer then when driving thus cause more damage. But a few seconds is good, so oil pressure builds.
You are making up nonsense. It's a fact that cold oil flows less and provides less lubrication the higher the RPM.
Yuss, Fiesta Love. Hope you enjoy it, @ChrisFix!
Thanks!!!
Wow Chris your videos have come along way! You sound so much more upbeat now.
This vehicle has a clutch. The ford 6 speed power shift uses 2 3-speed transmissions in series, and a dual clutch assembly. One does 1-3-5 and the other does 2-4-6.
The transmission is operated by electronic shift forks, and a transmission control module. Efficiency is increased through a direct mechanical connection, as there is no torque converter used during acceleration unlike a standard automatic.
Otherwise everything in this video is correct. It's a common mistake people make with the Fiesta and Focus. It's literally 2 manuals operated by a computer.
- Ford service staff
he clearly ment an actual manual with a stick kinda clutch, and you know it.
u dont say... clearly not what he ment -.- smartass, u seriously think he dont know what a dual-clutch transmission is or how it works???
If I stump the footrest nothing happens. Am I doing it wrong? I only see 2 pedals.
Liam Lexus Build im pretty sure the clutches in a dct can heat up while using throttle to hold your car in position on a hill
Liam Lexus Build Ok so I mean just because he listed some fact means that he's a fucking idiot?
Your dad's car has 300,000 miles on it because it's your dad's car and he drives it like a dad. By the way, I always say, no one ever damaged an engine because they changed the oil too soon. But if the manufacturer puts special additives in a new engine, maybe you do need to leave it alone if you can't get the same oil or get the additive package separately. I would guess the new engine additive package is irrelevant after about 4000 miles anyway. At the most.
New vehicles are $20,000 and up, with the emphasis on the up. If you get your first your first oil change before the recommended interval, get it at the dealer to protect your warranty.
Over time his intros are like progress like you know he loves doing this and over time itll have more enthusiasm :) “Hey guys! Chris fix here!”
can you please please PLEASE do more videos with your fiesta? I own the same model and am dying for how to videos. you're really thorough and I like your channel. thanks!
One of the engine builders wear I live
say when u brake in a motor u brake it in like your gonna drive it
Best channel on youtube!
What better way to get tips about the 2014 Fiesta than from you! I also own a 2014 Fiesta (Titanium trim) and I love it!
Alex H Nice! It is a really nice car for the money!
Just a small suggestion: If we talk in general, not only about brand new engines, it is always good for the engine to let it work with no load for a while after you start it. Not only 15-30 seconds but even a couple of minutes. It's not only for the oil to reach all of the parts but also the temperature of the engine especially in very cold weather. Having that in mind - when you start driving, you should also avoid hard acceleration and pumping out the top performance of the engine before it reaches at least 60-70 degrees Celsius.
Very good video. I have noticed that most of the people really don't know how to treat their engines so thumbs up. :)
Definitely true in the winter I acually never drive my car until it reaches operating temp well at least the water gauge bc I just don't like the idea of driving a cold engine bc the oil it thicker it's just not good and in the summer even when it's 100 outside I let the car warm up about half way and still don't go past 2,500 rpm till a good 5-10 minutes after the water goes up to operating temp. And I'm 17 a guy I just know a lot about cars and it hurts me to push an engine when it's not completely warmed up but after it warms up a little redline doesn't hurt once in a while😋
+Damian Jasiulewicz redlining can do all kinds of things... My cousin had to have the whole engine torn because of doing that, I would rather start out going lightly with cold engine than ever redlining. The cousin had something unbolt inside the engine on a new Toyota matrix, and that was a disaster!
+Ivan K well not totally new, the car had ten or so K miles
A bunch of these tips are good to apply even with an older car, I mean waiting a moment before going, keeping the revs low when it's cold and not staying at the same rpm for a long distance/time.
+GogogoFollowMe Very true!
+ChrisFix what if i am driving on the freeway for a long trip and using cruise control.....wouldn't that put the engine at the same rpm for a long time/distance?
+Heavenscape yes it would
+Heavenscape if there are hills no
+GogogoFollowMe Not stayinh at the same rpm for long time or distance? But in order to get more mileage on your run it's recommended to drive at a steady pace !! isn't it !!? Like when you put cruise control ON, you tend to stay on the same speed for long long time...i'm talking this about old engines...is it bad?
Had the ford focus..... broke it in from brand new.... had a tough time taking it back and fourth from the dealer to home, dealing with the manumatic dct ( was unable to find a manual in the color i wanted)... some people got lucky with fords... i did not..... returned it after the 4th TCM refresh and went with a kia.
Good vid man.
Man what a difference you made back then lol now you gotten better at making videos ... good job
Does bouncing off rev-limiter continuously count as enough variation in rpm?
no
So the proper break in method is;
1: Get the revs the hit and hold it at red line until a full tank is empty and those red lines well they'll disappear......
2: Explain to Ford why you read some clowns comments on TH-cam
3: New Car
4: Start over
Great video - I will be getting my 1st "new" engine on Monday. I had a rebuilt engine put in my Yoda. I have the original 1981 repair book l so I will look for the manufacturer recommendations for breaking in the engine and take the advice you offered. I'm really excited about the new engine and wasn't aware of a break in period (but it makes TOTAL sense). Up until now I've only ever had used cars. Appreciate it!
Great! Good luck with the new engine! Nothing better! Glad the video was helpful!
Drove my Renault Megane 1.6L 16v -07 just normal for the first 1000 miles, including hard breaking, some top speed testing, checked how much grip I had in the corners before I got understeer and so on :) Still ticking with 200 000 miles on the odometer :P And nothing has gone wrong yet with the engine :) Just the regular maintenance.
Not all cars require a break in. I consulted two different Nissan dealers sense my manual didn't have any info on a break in. The build process includes something called micro abrasion. This breaks in the engine before even mile one. I now have over 130K on her and still driving strong.
Inanimate objects are usually referred to in the feminine if there is any gender reference. How young must you be to not have known this?
Stinky Cheese I guess no one here watched(s) top gear. they countlessly call cars girls. I see nothing wrong with it. been done for years. how immature must you all be to really care anyway
Heh, Top Gear. People have been calling objects she/girl/etc for over a century.
I named my cars and called them girls prior to even knowing what top gear or what others did. Go back to playing your video games.
yea dealers are idiots. they don't know jack. they tried to tell me some stuff I didn't agree with. you want to know about engine break in you ask a engine builder or machinist.
Thanks for the info. The steering technique is ridiculous though ;)
Yeah, the operator steers like a girl...
I took my 2018 Accord Sport 2.0 to the local mountains here. Many curves that help vary your acceleration which can help with breaking in the motor and transmission. When I'm on the highway I enter the ramp and accelerate fast but not aggresive. I let the transmission make all the gear changes but without flooring it.
very helpful and educational. thanks
i am huge fan of the ford fiesta, but this sedan looks awful!
Fiesta hatchback yes. Fiesta nonhatchback is the ugliest thing around, don't you dare to park it on my driveway, lol
That's why I bought a hatch back 😂
Not the 2013 SE. That transmission makes me puke :P
The ST looks awesome
both the sedan and hatchback with these rims is ugly AF. but with the machined aluminum rims on the appearance package or the rims found in the titatium trim=best looking subcompact on the market. no matter what body style you choose. they actually got rid of these rims for 2017. i guess they finally realized how ugly they were.
I knew it before, and I'm never going to buy a new car in my life so why did I watch this? XD
+draconpost ikr
+CS Studios wtf does ikr mean?
bunkerbuster i know right
buy an aygo
+draconpost If you rebuild a engine, a re-ring or something similar, this video will apply
Im glad that you did this video on this specific car because my dad just bought one of these.
+Nicholas Lee Awesome! Congrats on the new car!
+ChrisFix Thanks man.
Excellent, thank you.
with so many people not knowing how to do this, why don't manufacturers just break in the engine before delivering to the customer?
Ahmed E Because it would cost a lot of money.
ah! i should have known :)
Acura does with the NSX
Well in fact even the new cars have some mileage on it as the manufacturer must park the car or put it on a boat but its so low its not even considered a mileage
Chris fix sounds depressed in this one compared to his voice In 2020XD
He sounds so tired and bored 😂💀
Whats going on Chris? where is your excitement like the other videos you have? :( .. Nice video BTW!
I was not as excited back then (check out the video date).
Thats right!! I always watch your recent videos, and this one came up in my home page lol I thought it was new lol.. Have a good one! :)
there was a serious lack of excitement back then, indeed :D
well its a ford so..
This is very important .. Now I know why my dad drived first 5000km very carefully in his nissan armada 2005 ... because now after almost 13 years .. 700k .. km and still runs smooth.
I didn't even know you had to do this lol
Ha thats why you see alot of cars that you buy used have alot of problems. Also people not knowing any maintenance. There is a break in for every kind of vehicle or engine it self. And evey thing needs its interval maintenance done. So important for reliability, power and longevity.
It only matters for people that keep there cars for a long time if you keep it for about 2-4 years then you are fine usually with German cars it doesn't matter unless you get a big powerful AmG engine or something crazy
That's why engines get a lot of problem these days. They are not made like they were in the ol days but doing a proper break in a mandatory. Idk why dealers never tell their customers. Oh wait, i know! MONEY! If the car dies earlier, more money coming in. That's why.
Both my sister and my parents just bought new cars and I told them about the break in and they looked at me like its the most ridiculous thing. I don't how people don't know this its commons sense. And I just got a new car and its a Hyundia and the break in stated in the manual is 600 miles, it just says not to go over 4000 rpm and try push it too hard. My only question now is when should I do the break in oil change?
Wait... what about test driving?
OlRustyEye as far as I know they have separate cars for test driving... similar or exactly the same spec but when you decide to buy you either wait for it to be built or they give you another car that has not been driven before.
Driving the engine hard or easy wont make a difference in first few years, the problems will come up after that. Test cars are pushed to the limits because those cars wont be sold anymore.
You can buy the test driving car but i wouldn't though. You get a discount but its not worth it, trust me! My friend did buy one (cuz it was cheaper, duh) and had many problems with it. The dealer could not give more shit after he signed the contract. That's too bad! If you really want to buy a new car, GET A NEW FUCKING CAR XD
Awkward-To-Awesome hopefully they're using demo cars for the test drives not the actual cars. Unfortunately it's much harder to have a manual demo car cuz nobody wants one except me
I did comment in a video before about this, but I'd like to explain this again, the Ford fiesta has a DPS6 transmission, its a standard transmission, it has TCM(Transmission control module) that controls the shift forks using electrical motors, and has two more servos in the Bell housing to control the dual clutches. I didn't see any videos about it on your channel, and I'd just like to explain a bit about it.
Good info thanks Chris
He sounds like he is sad but now he is like : HEY THERE GUYS!!!! CHRISFIX HERE!!!!
This car actually does have 2 clutches. Its a dual clutch.
***** Thanks for the info Nick!
ChrisFix it has actuators
That's weird because I only see 2 pedals. Not 4
so now you can double clutch without even trying vin diesel would be so proud
Oh, so I can say why are there five petals on the car when there are only four directions. (Only for the Red Vs Blue fans) LOL
Thanks. very informative.
Got new Subaru Forester Turbo (FA20DIT). Would warm it up and ride around for a while like normal until about 300miles with some hard pulls with some engine breaking. Car has 10,000 miles on it and runs like a champ with 18psi of boost. I guess you would call it a hard break in. Changed the oil at 1,000 miles to get the bigger particles out of the engine then from that point on drove like normal. So far all good. gets around 28MPG and runs smoooth as a glass.
is it me or does it sound different?
What does it sound like?
For me new cars sound loud.
Sounds kind of sad :/
+ChrisFix i think he means your voice tone, the intro wasn't as' charismatic’ as usual but it must of been freezing outside, no wonder!
JorRob001 Most long running TH-camrs would have a lower tone voice during their early times.
Only problem with that car you used in the demo is the transmission is total hit and miss and will screw up no matter how you drive it.
so true
Depends on the year, but yes, the TCM in both my brother and sister's Focus went bad (2012 and 2013). Took it to the dealer though and they fixed it for free.
I had both a Fiesta and a Focus, 2013's. I got rid of them damn fast but the Fiesta was horrible.. it was like it was tweaking on drugs and couldnt stay still for a second. Always puttering and felt like it was going to die on us. Horrible car.
Great video. Good information
I was doing burnouts and donuts at 47 miles when I got it off the lot ... and no problems at all... in my mustang gt350
It makes me cringe the number of people that start their car and immediately drive away. Even my older Volvo I let it sit for about a minute before driving.
just drive normaly up to 4000 rpm,u b good
3,000. Thats more respectable. I rev up 2500 on my manual.
Congrats on 7k bro
NO WAYYY!!! Thanks a lot man! Another milestone reached!!!!
Don't let it idle!!! because the rings are not fully sealed, so the fuel isn't fully compressing and incomplete combustion but at higher rpm there's more heat and less blow-by. So you should drive it right after start up, oil will have reached everything by the time your hand moves from key to gear selector. For the same blow-by reason, don't run it at high loads, but higher rpm is okay. Shift later than normally, so it's not under as much load at a given rpm. After a few hundred miles it's okay/good to rev it up so the engine wears in at those rpm and not just low speeds. FYI the manual says don't drive fast, that means don't accelerate fast (thus putting too much load on the engine) your actual speed (mph) is irrelevant, especially considering many new cars run at less than 2,000 rpm at 65mph. Just don't use cruise control, vary the speed.
Chris you sound so different
This video is old so yeah
LegitMods4u He sounds down or depressed
yeah a lil
winter blues
Very helpful, Thank You Sir
Itz Reece You are welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Chris
I brought a 1.4 TDCI Ford Fiesta in England back in 2002 brand new only 60 miles on the clock. I drove mine like I rob the bank everyday I would race my friends 2 litre GTI Rover and my other friends 325 manual bmw witch was also turned up for more power. had no chance in hell of ever winning. we driving to Glasgow nightclub doing 90 to 100mph most of the way twice a week coving 450 miles each time. also driving around town centre doing what guys do! I had the car for three years covered 165000 miles. my car ran like a dream no power loss at all. only problem I had was the injectors corroding due to me using illegal diesel it's called red diesel in England what farmers use in their Farm vehicles. then it was stole in 2003. I believe your car will get used to the way that you drive because it clearly worked for me. and if it does not work for you fuck it is under warranty.
I thought u said how to break in a new car lol
I thought that this video was about stealing cars
It's apparently pretty tough to break into newer cars so :p
I am so glad I was able to read all these comments about break ins. Just bought a 2015 Callenger Scat Pack. Was trading in my leased CTSV for it. But before I did, I wasn't cinvinced I would be satisfied with the Challenger after having a supercharged car. So the dealer let me take it home to test drive it. The Callenger had 200 miles on it and for about an hour I was tearing it up to see what it could do. I even red lined it off red lights on the highway.
I ended up buying it and then reading the manufacturer's recommended 500 mile break in. I was very worried afterwards that I may have done a bad thing. But I feel much better after reading all the comments. The car was fully warmed up during my testing.
One last thing. Bought a new dirt bike in the '90s. I really babied it for the first 20 hours of riding. Then I started riding it hard later, on the pipe all the time. Was practicing starts before a race, and the motor seized. I trully believe it was because I babied it and then when I rode it hard, it seized it. I'm no engineer or mechanic - that is just my impression from my experience.
Thank you all for even the most conflicting post. :)
Alice Porter I am glad you have some peace of mind. What does the owners manual say to do for a break in? And congrats on the new Challenger Scat Pack!
It said no hard acceleration for 500 miles, something like that. I just happened to find it on a piece of cardboard paper with all the manuals, not actually in the manual. That's why I got worried.
Classic ChrisFix 👌
7 year old ChrisFix sounds depressed
Whats a new car? Rofl
vehicle
hi chris. could you do video on evaporater cleaning as well as maintaining it clean?
thank you you saved me a boat load of money by helping me diagnosis my air bag problem, if I could I'd buy you a cup of coffee!!
+mark toussaint Glad the video was helpful!
One word toyota :)
What is the break in on a toyota?
ChrisFix When my parents bought their new Corolla a couple months ago the dealer told them most new Toyotas do not have a break in period. My dad and I have a hard time believing that though.
Yea, that is weird. Did you read the owners manual or look online? Im curious now.
I cannot find anything in the manual. And I thought I saw a forum about its break in period but I did not read it and I cannot find it again.
Gotcha. Thanks for looking!
I disagree with the cold start. Idling a cold engine is a bad idea. You must get some load on the engine to heat it up as quickly as possible. Of course racing away with a cold engine is also a bad idea, so it is a fine balance. My idea is, just drive away slowly after 2 sec is the best and take it easy on the first 5 miles after cold start. Also I would like to know why you have to vary speeds when breaking in engines?? I always drive moderate constant speeds and long, long trips when I break in engines. The reason is, that engines then operate at constant load, and that is minimal stress. My cars last for 200.000 miles with no problems to the engine whatsoever. Sold them because of other reasons.
+Ronald de Rooij the reason is what??? you stopped suddenly at the end the reason it what?
+Ronald de Rooij Running the air condition on high warms the engine up quickly. Puts a 3 HP load on it and also the condenser and fan is blowing warm air across it from the moment the compressor kicks in.
+Goos Gaming And Tech: enlarge the comment you dumb fuck
Al Kaholic there is no "read more button" you ignorant 10-yearold
Yes there is lmao
Please do a video regarding break in of rebuilt diesel engine. Thanks in advance!
God bless you Chris! Please tell more people about the OWNERS MANUAL! You don't know how many morons I've came across that didn't even know how to turn off or on their own headlights.
Imagine MrBeast knew about this. He would do this: Getting New cars and breaking them in and giving them away.
in europe we don't brake in
In soviet Russia, car break-in YOU!!!
+skmetal7 lol
Yes we do, only retards don't.
true slavs never brake D: they last after the end ;ddd
Hahah :p
Nice one. Essential tips for anyone getting a new car. Also it surprised me to see the Fiesta as a sedan! In Europe we get it only as a 3-5 door hatchback supermini with either a 1.0L gasoline or 1.5L diesel engine, both turbos and both only with a 5-spd manual gearbox (at least where I live, automatics have to be ordered and cost more). Keep up the good work!
+andrew7720 Thanks a lot! That is interesting! These 4 doors are pretty common here in the US and it is almost the opposite with auto vs manual. It is hard to find a manual one of these because everyone wants the auto.
Yes indeed. I am aware of the the differences. What I am looking on the internet and cannot find in detail is a very detailed comparison between the automotive trends, laws, cultural differences etc. betweed US and Europe. The seem to different and I would like to see a direct comparison between them. Unfortunately, for it to hapen it need someone with extensive knowledge in local laws, cultural differences and preferably to have lived on both continents The other way I think this can happen is to have 2 people, 1 in each continent to put up what the know and then to collect the data. It would be, is I see it, an interesting topic.
If i recall correctly - those Fiestas were with lot of petrol engines (1.0 1.0 eb, 1.25, 1.4, 1.6, 1.6eb as ST) and few diesels (1.4, 1.5, 1.6)
Hi Chris. Video for DCTF drain and fill Please! especially on sealed transmission
the heck is with americans and automatics... nothing like a geared car
MOST People in the US arent that enthusiastic about cars. Sadly.
Laurence Reeves the dct in the Ford in geared. Check mate fucker
You're an idiot, a DCT is just as lazy and uninvolved as a torque converter. Real men use 3 pedals
for fuck sake just floor it and enjoy it for as long as it last
tom marien naaa that's what you do with a used car for 500 bucks
Nope it wont long last maybe a few weeks ur car is ded.
