Yeah it'll auto-downshift, but it will not auto-upshift (atlhough it will stop you from upshifting if it would drop the RPM's too low)

Yeah driving like a grandma is NOT beneficial to the motor. You need to VARY the RPM's... this means taking it way up there sometimes. Just don't redline or hard-stop.

You mean "hard-start", right? :?:

No, I meant hard-stop. Don't slam the breaks when they're still being broken in.

would stalling the engine a few times while its in its break-in period cause major problems down the road??

No. NOTHING will cause major problems down the road... it's just theoretically possible that doing "the right things" might make it last a little bit longer.

Yeah, nothing about not running the rev range. You definitly should not be keeping it under 3,000.

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

Well you shouldn't be holding it just below redline, if that's what you mean. Rev it up to there, but don't hold it there. Point being, just drive it, without driving it too hard. Don't drive it like a grandma.

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

Well... does it really matter? You can't control that.

And I don't really have any idea.

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

Good! haha at lease I am not the only one.

I actually got the logic of breaking in from audio speakers. Once new, you have to turn it up as LOUD as it can.. so that it can performs to expectation..

so how long did you keep the volume on full blast?

does anyone use this break in technique for their stereos??

With a stereo? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I can't stress that enough. If those cones aren't used to moving, you risk cracking them.

Vary your speed, could be any speed from 0 to 188km/h
As long as the rpm is below 3000 or 3500.
Wait til your mileage hits 1000, then you can go pedal to the metal.

I can't even imagine keeping the rpm below 3000-3500 rpm. Even being ultra conserative that would be unecessary after 100 miles let alone 1000.

No, keeping the RPM's low is NOT a good idea. You should not be straining the engine constantly, but keep varying them - RUN THE WHOLE RPM RANGE.

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

It's really not that big of a deal... just vary a little bit.
