RX-8 Break-In
Mazda's Guidelines The Mazda RX-8 Owners Manual lists the following information for the break-in period of a new vehicle: "No special break-in is necessary, but a few precautions in the first 1000 KM (600 miles) may add to the performance, economy, and life of your Mazda. - Don’t race the engine. - Don’t maintain one constant speed for long. - Don’t drive constantly at full-throttle or high engine RPM for extended periods of time. - Avoid unnecessary hard stops. - Avoid full-throttle starts." A review of the Mazda RX-8 Service Manual Highlights revealed the following information regarding break-in: "A fluorocarbon resin coating has been added to the trochoid surface (rotor housing) for improved initial break-in." Racing Beat's Guidelines The Mazda guidelines are reasonable and prudent. If you have any questions or uncertainly regarding the break-in period, we suggest you follow these official recommendations. We receive many requests for our recommended break-in procedures. The following are Racing Beat's recommendations: - For the first 1000 miles do not accelerate under full throttle. - During the first 1000 miles do not exceed 4000 RPM. - For miles 1000-2000, expand the RPM upwards - but do not accelerate at full throttle. - Over 2000 miles, full throttle and high RPM is acceptable. In summary, our guidelines offer a progessive method to increase the working loads placed on the engine. |
