Hi

I have searched and read topics posted on Break-in FX35, however I would like to have more information.

1. The manual mentions not to exceed 4000RPM's but the dealer only said to to exceed 100km/h - Is this speed or RPM's depended.

2. I was on a 400km's round trip this past weekend and the car had 110km when I commenced the trip, on my way back I had to drive through some hills, the steepest was about 5km climb. My question : has this affected my engine or transmission in anyway and is there something to worry about?

3. Any further advice would be appreciated in this regard.

Thanks and regards,

Junior01

I would expect it to be RPM based. Also those hills were likely good for the engine in that they varied the load. The worst way to break in an engine is to keep it at one RPM for a continuous time, say 65 MPH for 500 miles on the highway.
