Break-in Period Issue

Fr1zGum · 06-08-2014, 02:08 PM

Hello everyone! I might have very strange and ridiculous question, but i'm really curious about details of break-in period. Once i get a car, i want to go over a break-in period really fast (i'm able to drive a lot due to my free time). I would like to know, what is the limit (in hours) of driving per day during break-in period? I mean how much time or how many miles i can maximally drive per day?

Why would there be a limit for driving it in a day? Just drive it at different RPM's over the period. DON'T drive it on the Highway at 1 constant engine speed.

I didn't drive any car like this before, that's why i'm going to treat really well and very concerned about details regarding the first driving moments...It seemed to me that, there is some limit of driving when you get car because you can overheat an engine or overload the car.

The car has a cooling system, so theoretically it could drive infinitely.

Planning to put 500 miles the first few days, perhaps another 700 after that in a few more days lol so my problem is solved.
