Running in period?
fri13th:
Errm...... for me hor i tried another method which is to whack my engine from day 1 collection at intervals and drive at different rpm during the first 1k period but engine must be fully warm up at least 5mins driving after the engine cold blue light gone. highest i went was 4.5krpm. so far my mileage is now almost 7k engine feels smooth and strong enough and getting 15km/litre on 70%hw30%city driving and mind u i am still on the free mineral oil supply by tan chong. 10k service will try amsoil synthetic oil and that should easily give me 1 km extra per litre. Also check out this controversial engine break-in site http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

Very interesting website bro...so did you try out some of the advice for your engine? :confused1:

I tried on some of the advice from that website but not all cos mine is cvt and very hard to reach full throttle. if manual i think more easy bah. Come to think of it i follow more to advice given by the following site http://cruxoil.com/files/Converting_to_AMSOIL_and_Breaking_in_a_New_Engine.pdf

I rather believe the Tan Chong manual rather than some unknown website regarding break-in.
If you redline during break-in period, then could have got a test drive car and save at least $1,500.
