Great content. Just bought my very first new car--a Crosstrek--and this info was extremely helpful thank you! What are your thoughts on doing the first oil change after that first 1000 miles?

I just broke in my GR Corolla (now 1k miles) Keep in mind -you are also breaking in the whole drive train (& brakes et al ) For the most part my list of things to do is very close to yours & what I have done going on at least 15 new vehicles. This is my short & dirty list for first 600 ish miles (& oil change) - I don't idle the engine to warm up - I drive very slow out of my residential area - no short trips or long trips (35 to 80 miles) - let engine get DEAD cold before next driving event - MPT - don't drive during rush hour - for one so as not to idle or abuse the clutch - step up engine RPM when accelerating. (in 1st gear - 1800 hold 15 sec 2000 for 15 sec 2200 for 15 sec 2500 for 15 sec - let car coast to 1800 & repeat in all gears) To not be the A-hole on the road I do this part of the break in at 5 am!!! -the controversial part - but it's what I do. 50-75% Wide Open Throttle a few times each session (starting at 3k RPM) Allow vehicle coast to 1800 rpm and hold for a bit oil up the cylinders & cool down a bit.

zinc content: ZDDP is the reason why, I believe anyway, there is a rec by some to rev high etc. because ZDDP requires you to run it hot enough, long enough to produce a coating on the moving parts of the engine. But, that doesn't apply to the entire car and/or trans. The trans, to me, need to be broken in, and until such, the gears and synchros might feel tight, harder to shift. Once they wear some, the slide better. But, engines today don't really need a "Break-in" period. I believe the first 1,000-2k miles should be smooth, easy driving. Then slowly start increasing the demand on the car in both pressure and time. But, I also don't follow the OEM rec. oil change intervals. I start ramping up load after 1k miles then start increasing load from then onward to about 2.5k miles. But I change the oil at about 1k-2k. Basically, I follow OEM for the first whatever thousand miles they say, and then I follow my own. I also change my oil every 3k or less or every 3 months, at the most.

What people usually never consider here is the actual clutch. You always hear people talking about engine break in... But a brand new car has a brand new clutch as well. It is going to take you at least 500 miles to break in a new clutch and that is all city miles too. You somewhat covered this but didn't say clutch, just transmission. Something to keep in mind. Another thing to consider here. Most "new" cars where you buy it and it has ~30 miles on it have already been taken out and gunned by the sales people or on a test drive. If you ever worked at a dealer you would know this first hand. Doesn't even need to be a sports car, they run all of them pretty hard. So your new car very likely has been rung out by at least a few people before you get her.

Good point! My car had 13 miles on it when I bought it and I was able to drive it before they even removed all of the plastic shipping covers.

Exactly! Most manufacturers run the car hard on a dyno before it leaves the factory to seat the rings. Then when you get the car and it has 2-3 miles (or more), then you should be gentle cause it might have metal shavings and other stuff in the oil until the first oil change. So the correct way is run it super hard very briefly, then baby it until the first oil change at 500 miles or whatever.

New car break-in and engine break-in are two different things. In a new car, you are breaking--in transmission, clutch, breaks and anything else that moves. Engine break-in is specifically about engine. I wouldn't stress about it if you happen to go over what the manufacture recommends as the manufacutre do start the engine and rev it in all rpm range for testing before the engine is installed in the car.

This is info is key: the engine in a brand new car is ran on the dyno to seat the rings from the factory prior to being installed in the car and sold. Manufacturer recommendation separate from engine break in procedure. Both need to be done it’s just not needed if the engine is coming from the factory. If it’s a new engine build or rebuild with new pistons then engine break in must be followed first.

My vehicle manual break-in section did not mention idling so i stayed in the car for an extended period (20-30 min) of time because it was hot outside. What effects will this have on my car? I had 15 minutes of idle time after driving 60 miles as well. Its a direct injection engine

That type of break in is good for the car. It helps to seat the piston rings while there still is the "rough" cross hatch pattern to do it.

I have a new 2024 Impreza. At the 1000kms breakin the dealership service was just a look over, no oil change. Im pretty sure that the oil should be changed at 1000 klm. Is this correct?
@sptrader6316

I think the most important thing with new cars is the first oil change, should be around 1200 miles or so, to get rid of any break-in particles from the piston rings seating and bearing wear.

Good points. Actually, there are a lot of newer cars on the road with oil consumption issues. Enough that I took the engine builders seriously. But it's not that rough--they bring new engines up to 2500 RPM and run them there for 20-25 minutes before doing a dyno pull. They aren't running them wide open for that long to get the rings to seat. They just aren't putzing around like your computer would do if you left it in D from the dealership and babied it until 1000+ miles.

as I commented on this video: So I got a new car today, a corolla hatchback, and after work tonight, I let it warm up for a good 10-15 minutes because it was -20 celsius outside (Im in Canada). After it was warmed up I wanted to go a bit fast with it, so I took it on hwy and maybe shifted a bit aggresively jus to see how it goes and revd it a 3-4 times to 5000ish RPMs.. will this have caused any damage or premature wear?

You should always change oil after 1k due to factory additives and detergents they add from the factory. After that oil change then boost it hard to seat the piston rings.
@5610winston

Every new car I ever bought recommended running the factory engine oil 'til the first scheduled because it is a "high-quality lubricant" with special additives.... A mechanic friend (sadly, now departed) recommended driving the break-in period as close to the car's intended every-day service use as possible.

Agree with John. I’m doing my first oil change at 500 miles to remove any metal shavings, then I’ll rev it up from 500-1000 to seat the piston rings. Trying to get the best of both schools of thought in the first 1000 miles

When you started talking about your 'high' cylinder pressures at 4k RPM, you show a peak boost of 9.6 psi. You're not even in boost at 4k rpm when doing sustained rpm, it doesn't need it to maintain the rpm. You can reach 4k rpm with no boost at all, which doesn't help seating the rings
@LehewTech

Its my understanding that cylinder pressures rise as rpm rises even if boost pressures are low

I'd rather let the engine warm-up until the RPMs drop, personally. Most vulnerable when its cold, seems likes least amount of stress wold be zero load. Engine oil in my 23 WRX only takes only a few minutes to 200F with a warmed up engine, would think aby residual from running lean during a cold start idle can burn off if you are driving at operating temp after only a few minutes. Just IMO

Question is, did the person before you full throttle it? Most likely yes. I hope for your sake, the theories of full throttle pass break-in also holds some truth.
