5 Things You Should Never Do In A Brand New Car

5 Things You Should Never Do In A Brand New Vehicle

Proper break-in is important for the reliability, performance, and longevity of your vehicle. Part of the way you make sure your engine lasts is through how you drive your new car for those first thousand miles (check your owner's manual for the exact mileage). There are several things which you should avoid doing, including giving your vehicle full throttle, taking your engine to redline, using cruise control, traveling short distances, and towing. We'll talk about various different engine break-in procedures, used in the Nissan GT-R, Acura NSX, Chevrolet Corvette, and even a land-speed record car built by an FCA engineer as a hobby.

The reason for the 300 mile GTR break in is so you get to enjoy your GTR a few hours before you wrap it around a pole drifting it

When I drive a new car I always make sure the entire speedometer is working

[Jason-mzxw]

1000 km's into my new truck, I thought I'd search this up. Broke all the rules, great.

[Sheriff_K]

Glad I watched this, had no idea there was a “break-in period”.. 😔🤦🏻‍♂️

[TonyLewisOKR]

*spongebob* Floor it??

*ms puff* No spongebob don't floor it!!

[XvFenixvX]

6. Do not stare at your new car for extended periods of time. The paint has not had enough time to dry properly and your staring is not helping.

Gental warm ups and cool downs with any engine regardless if new or old. Short trips equates to severe usage. Good video!

[tigerseye]

Points one and two. Don't BABY IT. Run it somewhat aggressively once in a while when safety considerations allow for it. Any good engine builder will tell you the first 100 miles are critical for ring sealing and they seal best if you can vary load and speed during that initial period. Again, within reason. BTW, I enjoy your video's. Thanks for sharing.
