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.

I miss the Hey Guys intro!
What if you bought your vehicle an hour and a half away and its mostly highways…
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
Hey Cris thanks for you knowledge!
Question. Manual doesn’t say and dealer says that I need to first service at 500 miles. In a new car, is it true the first service needs to be done at just 500 miles? If not how long can the first new oil from manufacture last?
This seems excessive but it’s simpler than it sounds
What about RPM what rev numbers should you use.
OMG, I drove like madness on a new car
new engines so sensitive you have to break them in properly no wonder why the engines break so fast
Even new cars have 50ish miles from people test driving them. I hope they weren't too rough.
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!”
Hey Chris I know this is an older video but does this also apply to reman engines I just got a new 4.6 2v put in after my car seized and I’ve been really paranoid about it
That new car engine was already broken in before it left the factory.
The OEM “break in recommendation is a fail safe in case the rings didn’t get seated 100% during the factory break in.
In the quest to adhere to and surpass fuel economy standards, nearly all new vehicles Today are designed with extremely thin piston rings. Thinner rings seat almost immediately under load.
“Tire break in” that’s a new one!! That’s 100% to reduce service appointments for road noises and ride complaints.
I came here because i wanted to share my experience with a used 2018 subaru impreza hatchback. 2.0i limited.i got it for the awd for snow. I didnt love the lack of power only 152hp. I do routine maintenance and after the factory maintanance package c the car felt different. Felt faster off the line. This was after 60,000 km now i love it. Is this from the tune up or me getting used to it? Bought it at 39,000km no recordsof maintenance from previous owner. Gonna do spark plugs and transmission fluid change next.
My biggest fear is that my used car hasn’t been broken in and because of that it won’t last
I know I know.. it’s old but I MUST address this. Those automatics actually use a dual clutch transaxle.. so.. there is a clutch (two of them) and you can manually shift through the gears. It’s like two manual transmissions combined into one unit. Remember the shudder problem in these?
