TIA. No prob at all. Most new cars in other big countries are run-in via long distance too! Dun rev hard and keep within the rpm range u would be just fine. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locknload 5th Gear March 27, 2018 Share March 27, 2018 Should'nt be a problem as I used my new Opel Zafira on a road trip to Malacca organised by the Opel Forum chaps many years ago. The convoy was well regulated in speed and the Zafi was used till scrap with normal wear and tear issues. Just go and enjoy the trip. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA. Should be fine as long as you keep revs not too high. Another thing is, do not keep the same rev for too long. e.g. don't cruise for long time at same rev. Vary it a bit. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCTP 6th Gear March 27, 2018 Share March 27, 2018 Not knowing your brand and model. But from all previous replies it shows that it shouldn’t be a problem. I myself drove my brand new attrage to Melaka within less than a month of collection. Just nice can go for 1K servicing after returning. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic March 28, 2018 Share March 28, 2018 Long trip is the best break in but must vary the rev range. So sometimes drive at 110 sometimes drive at 80 on the left and sometimes drive at 150. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic March 28, 2018 Share March 28, 2018 remember to slow down in advance :) avoid hard braking. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcex 4th Gear March 30, 2018 Share March 30, 2018 All new cars before the engine is put into the car, already ran for hours to prove its ok before dropping into the car. Breaking in is just a myth... If really is breaking in, for those who have built engines before will know, the first 5000km cannot over rev and once the first drain after the build will have "metal debris" i dont think cars new fro agent has "metal debris" after the so called break in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannnn 4th Gear March 30, 2018 Share March 30, 2018 (edited) As long as u vary the rpm, dont hit certain rpm as according to your car manual. And dont use cruise control as it fixed at the rpm Edited March 30, 2018 by Dannnn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnokio Neutral Newbie March 30, 2018 Share March 30, 2018 I did jus that with my new Wish. Collect then next day go Melaka. Drove at highway between 80 and 100kmh. Did not rev above 2. So son was laughing as all the small Kancil and Perodua cut our car but no choice. Drove mostly on left lane with occasional overtaking of slower lorries. Reached Melaka in 3 hrs instead of usual 1 1/2 hrs but I really enjoyed it..new car ma :) Mileage was good as got 13+km/l. So enjoy your trip and car :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
