Early run-in service ok?

cionide · 12-10-2018, 03:52 AM

I just dropped of my car at the dealer to do ceramic coating. They said that at the current mileage (720km or so) that they can already do the run-in service. Is this true? Is it safe to do it or should I wait until the 2000-ish?

My car is currently 1500 km, and my dealer told me I should do at least 1800 for the break in service.

I would wait...you really need 2000km for the fluids to collect enough debris before they drain and put fresh stuff in. Defeats the purpose.

Yeah I was told to get at least over 1500km, 700 seems pretty low

Yes wait as others say

Why in the world you would use a dealer to do ceramic coating, there are far better independent detailers out there.

absolutely do the break-in service at or very near the specified milage......errrrr, "km-ige". factory calls it the break-in service because it wants things to become broken-in during that period. this is especially true for the diff, which is assembled with break-in fluid which must be replaced with the correct running fluid during the break-in service. doing that service at half the specified mileage seems sort of nuts, tbh.
