Is it neccesary to break in the engine? Like for a new car? because dealer told me to drive slow for the first 1000 miles

 

manual says 500 mile break in on a rsx

 

Depends on if you plan to drive it hard through out its life. If so, then push it, not too hard, but drive it like you normally would.

But thing is: Dont go on a long drive at a steady speed/RPM, that will damage the engine.

Just variate the rpm's and drive it like you normally plan on driving it.

Like.. IS it a NEW car? Or is it used?

The engine isn't the only thing that requires a "break in". Read the manual that came with the car. It will answer all your questions and you'll protect your warranty by following the manufacturer's recommendations. I wouldn't rely on advice from just anyone on the internet.

 

Is it new? Because I just bought my 06 dc5 last friday and I've been driving it around to break it in to the break in point in which the manual recomends. So if it is refer to your manual about the break in period. But if the car is used you don't have to break it in.

 

yes its brand new 06 rsx
