Hey fellas,
Is it around 2k-3k miles to break in a new car?

foobs

 

1200...~ish...past that last monday

 

The first 20 miles. See this thead:Engine Break in
My little Cuz is a crew chief for a racing crew in Dallas and he has used this for all his motors.

 

question is did you use it for your motor? I am going to follow the manufacturer's recommendation

 

doesn't anyone read the f-ing manual anymore?

 

Yes actually more, but Nissan says it's sufficiently broken in by 1200 miles to have a little fun.
C.

 

LOL. Exactly.

 

If I had known at the time I picked up the car, yes I would have. I found out about it on this forum and asked my Cuz.

However, you might say that, yes, I did. I picked up the car in San Antonio (with 12 miles on it) and drove back home (150 miles) When I got to the wonderful twisty between Kenedy and Goliad (35 miles worth), I let it rip. No less than 90 the whole way. So far, (7800 miles on car) there is no oil consumption at all.

 

Of course the manual is going to say what is says. They are going to play it safe!

 

Exactly 2 weeks and I have 1,142 miles logged. Got my '05 6MT coupe with 17 miles on it. Been looking for excuses to drive the car every minute. First weekend took the car for a coastal weekend trip. Loved every minute of it.

This weekend, starting this evening, I'll be opening the G up a bit more.

Regardless of your miles logged during the break-in period . . .
Just enjoy your cars and have lots of safe fun.

 

I drove my car all-out the minute I got it.

I think the whole break-in period is seriously over blown.

 

and that's a problem?????

 

what's a manual? ^.^

 

1500 to play it safe.

Im at 170 I take her every night just to keep the mileage going. Hate to drive her in a calm way.

 

^^ What do you want me to bet that the '06 will be out before your car is broken in?
