2014 Hybrid-How to break in?
We are NEW owners of a 2014 MKZ(H) Hybrid and I'm looking for information on recommendations or the proper way to "BREAK-IN" the HYBRID (CVT) engine? We've owned a Toyota Prius (2007-2011).
Does anyone know the best resource in addition to the manual? Thanks |
If looking for in and out smash and grab I'd say use a basball bat or a 9 iron ;) hehehhh kidding
check this out Break In Secrets--How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power |
Honestly just check your user manual
The hybrid might be a bit different than the gas model |

nah thats bullish, you want to run the girl a little hard during break in or else she never gets used to it. I'm not talking go WOT but be spirited you need to help all the internals settle in properly, especially the valves...
drive normal, babying is the worst thing you can do for the future health of your vehicle. |
well they dont' say you have to baby it
just avoid pushing it hard for the first 1000 miles. |

i think if you don't do this, it can lead to the engine burning oil later in it's life. |
you do want to be slight positive and negative load on the car to properly seat the pistons
so i'll accelerate up the hill holding it in 1 gear. and decelerate down the hill in the same gear. not letting the rpms go too high. and not at high speeds. just usually 2nd gear. |
