Can I run my flex fuel car on e85 100% of the time?, or do I need to use gasoline from time to time?
The primary reason you need to "break in" a motor is due to the rings and bearings. The rings are what seal your crankcase oil and prevent it from getting up past the piston and burning up, as well as preventing the carbon soot etc from combustion from getting down into the crankcase. If the leak you also lose combustion pressure and therefore power. Typically newer rings take very little time to seat in due to advances in coatings and designs which are essentially "pre-broken in". Your bearings also have coatings on them that will wear off slighty and level out as you drive the car.The key when breaking in a new car is not to not drive it or not drive it fast, its to not drive it at one speed for a prolonged period and not to accelerate quickly. You want the car to operate in the entire rpm range it will run in and under varying loads. The best thing to do is mix up your driving as much as possible between freeway/city etc and not race the engine. If you have a manual car you can accelerate onto the freeway slowly in a lower gear and hold it in lower gears for a while to run the engine at higher RPMs without having to push it to get there. You should avoid using more than half throttle for about 300 miles, vary your driving speeds as much as possible, then get an oil change and forget about it. 1000 miles is probably far longer than necessary in a modern vehicle.
If you are towing a car, does the odometer on the towed car reflect the miles traveled?
you need the car to get warmedup, if you know what i mean. the new car needs to adjust to the twists, turns, and bumps on the roadWhat will be the fuel of the future?
Any new or rebuilt engine needs a short period of 'run in' for all the parts to settle in. Hard running a new engine can cause premature failure of bearings, rings, pistons, and/or seals. They used to say 500 miles for run in, but with todays tighter tolerances, 1000 miles might be better for the engine before hard running beyond normal limits.Even been in this sort of car accident?
It is called the break in period. Since the car is brand new, it is suggested that you take it easy so that the seals in the engine and the chassis has a chance to properly break itself in so that it will last longer.More Questions & Answers ...
