3 current threads and 10 archived.. pretty easy to find stuff

 

Correct me if im wrong, but isnt the engine broken in at the factory... I dont know if i really believe it cause the 1st 100 miles you can smell the whatever it is. I asked my mechanic he said most manufacturers say 600 because of the clutch wear pattern.

I drove it reguarly... hit vtec a few times... it almost seemed like it got a bit quicker after 1000 miles er so... but who knows its prly all in my head... lol

you're not the only one

 

CORRECTED!! HAHA well its alot of he said she said post... even honda doesnt give a detailed break in period. i dont think its that big of a deal...

{What is the break-in period of my Honda?

Help assure your vehicle's future reliability and performance by paying extra attention to how you drive during the first 600 miles (1,000 kilometers). During this period:

Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration.
Avoid hard braking. New brakes need to be broken in by moderate use for the first 200 miles (300 km). }
