New car break in?
 

ok i just got my first brand new car but it has 80 miles on it already and im worried that the seals didnt break in correctly cuz i didnt break in the engine up to the first 80 miles. its actually an '05 model but im the first owner so the oil definately has to go.

anyway i really wanna know if this guy is onto something and if you guys have tried these meathods and what were your results?

they are all pre broke in now, some companys do not recomend changing the oil before the first scedualed(sp) oil change. I always liked to do my first oil change at 500km's :-\

yeah that makes sense plus its not really a performance engine or a bike engine, just a run of the mill economy suzuki 2.0

On my wife's car the owner's manual read that for the first 500 miles try to avoid hard accelleration, or drive for a long period with the engine at the same RPM, and gently apply the brakes, trying to avoid abrupt stops. :-\

thats how its done at the dealership.LOL
If it breaks is under waranty.

todays machines do such a good job on the final hone that the rings an soforth are pretty much seated within the pdi inspections at the dealership.
