Proper break-in is important for the reliability, performance, and longevity of your vehicle. Part of the way you make sure your engine lasts is through how you drive your new car for those first thousand miles (check your owner's manual for the exact mileage). There are several things which you should avoid doing, including giving your vehicle full throttle, taking your engine to redline, using cruise control, traveling short distances, and towing. We'll talk about various different engine break-in procedures, used in the Nissan GT-R, Acura NSX, Chevrolet Corvette, and even a land-speed record car built by an FCA engineer as a hobby.

The reason for the 300 mile GTR break in is so you get to enjoy your GTR a few hours before you wrap it around a pole drifting it

Gental warm ups and cool downs with any engine regardless if new or old. Short trips equates to severe usage. Good video!
-
Glad I watched this, had no idea there was a “break-in period”.. 😔🤦🏻♂️

6. Do not stare at your new car for extended periods of time. The paint has not had enough time to dry properly and your staring is not helping.

So wait a second... The Acura NSX is a USED CAR sold as NEW!

Great video! Much appreciated. I just finished the 1600 km break-in for my new 2023 Crosstrek PHEV. I had the hardship of having to travel 400km at the end of every week (200km to and from). I never used cruise control and I tried never to stay at a constant speed for more than a few minutes at a time. Basically 90-115, drop back to 98 and then back up to 115...Back down again. Not the perfect break-in process, but best I could do! I was able to do a lot of start, stop, cruise a bit in the cities between long trips. I also put it in "Save Mode" before hitting highway speeds so that that the engine had some warm up time before the eventual save mode (electric + engine) highway parts of the trip. I never floored it, slammed on the brakes or forced the engine from 0. I just took her in today @ 1800 km for the first check-up, oil change, etc. Now on to driving normally with cruise control and such!
