OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
• A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission
and axle) in your vehicle.
• Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles
(100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
• While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws
contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can
be detrimental and should be avoided.
• The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy con-
serving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate
conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended vis-
cosity and quality grades, refer to "Maintaining Your Vehicle."
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers)
of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not inter-
preted as an indication of an engine problem or malfunction.
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.
