ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS — SRT 10 VERSIONS
• A long break-in period is not required for the drivetrain (engine, transmission, and rearaxle) in your new vehicle.
•
Drive moderately during the first 500 miles (800 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. However, wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can
be detrimental and should be avoided.
• The engine oil is a high performance synthetic lubricant, the transmission fluid, and axle lubricant installed at the factory is high-quality and energy-conserving. Oil, fluid,
and lubricant changes should be consistent with anticipated climate and conditions
under which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity 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 interpreted as
an indication of difficulty.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.
