No need lar. Just vary your speed, don't try to drive constant speed for too long. My new car terus sapu 140km/h - 160km/h. And i believe they have already run in the engine a bit at factory.

thats what i think. My fren said "dont bawak laju2 or the engine n piston will rosak quickly"

This is a practice done for more than decades ago. Newly manufactured engine might have splinters trapped in the engine. The engine oil which might carry loose splinters will be changed in a short period of time as a mean to flush out the splinters. Hence, new vehicle is subjected to services as it reaches the first 1,000km mileage.

Acceleration coupled with high speed travelling will caused the engine oil to rotate faster thus causing possible frictions between the engine inner surface and the splinters.

Hence, no "unnecessary" speeding please.

No need 80 or 90 km/h then. thumbup.gif
