2. Fully press the accelerator pedal, slowly, three
times within ten seconds.
3. Without pushing the brake pedal, push the
ENGINE START/STOP button once to return
the ignition to the OFF position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system
did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS — 3.6L
AND 5.7L
A long break-in period is not required for the
engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in
your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 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. Wide-open throttle accelera-
tion in low gear can be detrimental and should
be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the fac-
tory is a high-quality energy conserving type
lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with
anticipated climate conditions under which
vehicle operations will occur. For the recom-
mended viscosity and quality grades.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Min-
eral Oil in the engine or damage may result.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its
first few thousand miles (kilometers) of opera-
tion. This should be considered a normal part of
the break-in and not interpreted as a problem.
Please check your oil level with the engine oil
indicator often during the break in period. Add
oil as required.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS 6.2L
SUPERCHARGED
The following tips will be helpful in obtaining
optimum performance and maximum durability
for your new vehicle.
Engine break-in occurs mainly during the first
500 miles (805 km) and continues through the
first oil change interval.
It is recommended for the operator to observe
the following driving behaviors during the
break-in period:
0 to 100 miles (0 to 161 km):
•
Do not allow the engine to operate at idle for
an extended period of time.
•
Press the accelerator pedal slowly and not
more than halfway to avoid rapid acceleration.
•
Avoid aggressive braking.
•
Drive with the engine speed below 3,500 RPM.
•
Maintain vehicle speed below 55 mph
(88 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
100 to 300 miles (161 to 483 km):
•
Press the accelerator pedal slowly and not
more than halfway to avoid rapid acceleration
in lower gears (FIRST to THIRD gears).
•
Avoid aggressive braking.
•
Drive with the engine speed below 5,000 RPM.
•
Maintain vehicle speed below 70 mph
(112 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
300 to 500 miles (483 to 805 km):
•
Exercise the full engine RPM range, shifting
manually (paddles or gear shift) at higher RPM
when possible.
•
Do not perform sustained operation with the
accelerator pedal at wide open throttle.
•
Maintain vehicle speed below 85 mph
(136 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
