QUOTE(bUGG @ Jul 13 2012, 01:25 AM) when u got your car, read the first few page of the owners manual, it mention how to run the engine break in ok..thx alot... Added on July 13, 2012, 12:40 amJust found someone posted the KIA break in advise in the manual QUOTE VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS This post has been edited by sunami: Jul 13 2012, 12:40 AMNo special break-in period is needed. By following a few simple precautions for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to the performance, economy and life of your vehicle. • Do not race the engine. • While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm. • Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow. Varying engine speed is needed to properly break-in the engine. • Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly. • Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time. • Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) of operation. |
