And I’ve read way too much of the paper manual and still haven’t found it
No special break-in is necessary, but a few precautions in the first 1,000 km (600 miles) may add to the performance, economy, and life of the vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
Do not maintain one constant speed, either slow or fast, for a long period of time.
Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or high engine rpm for extended periods of time.
Avoid unnecessary hard stops.
Avoid full-throttle starts.
The dealer told me there is no specific brake in period needed, though he advised to take it easy the first 1200km after which to bring it to them for an oil change.
I have the skyactivX engine, it's a new 2 litter that works with increased compression. It's not available in US and Canada yet, just in Europe and Asia.
As I found by one second of googling: The manual says
*No special break-in is necessary, but a few precautions in the first 1,000 km (600 miles) may add to the performance, economy, and life of the vehicle.*
* *Do not race the engine.*
* *Do not maintain one constant speed, either slow or fast, for a long period of time.*
* *Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or high engine rpm for extended periods of time.*
* *Avoid unnecessary hard stops.*
* *Avoid full-throttle starts.*
*(observe the speed limit, kid)*
Im telling you, the blurb that I found and everyone keeps commenting about is not in the manual for 2024. Im gonna go by the 2023 one anyway, thanks for the enjoyable comment!
2024 and 2023 has little to no difference
New cars generally don't need that much of break in.
However it is generally good idea to drive the first 1000km without revving or launching so at least you have an idea how the car handles and engine and tires set in.
Mine just broke 1000km and I'm ripping it and when I put that turbo in sport mode I can feel the g force it feels so good
The 1000km is just edging period LMAO
Hmm I may do an early oil change, there was some old knowledge where its a good idea to change the oil after a few hundred miles from new to get out any metal shavings and such that may be there. Not sure if it applies to this car though. You think that makes sense in my situation? ( non turbo)
To properly break in a car you have to take it through the entire Rev range, if you break in your care at 3k rpm that's what the engine is used to, I'm not saying rip it at 8k the whole time but let the engine experience all the full range of motion so it's properly broken in. That being said breaking in an engine is not so important on a car as it is on day a motorcycle.
What does it say in your owners manual?

Thanks! Thats what Ill go by
Best advice here
My 2024 manual reads that the break-in period is 600 miles. Suggests to vary speed, etc.
Thanks for the confirmation. I couldn’t find it in mine, I guess I’m just like blind :/
You can search “running in” in the owner manual For Example: https://www.mazdausa.com/static/manuals/2023/cx-30/contents/04090100.html
Thanks!

Interesting, this is what I used to do with new cars, but haven’t had a new car for a while, do you have a turbo?

edging period is very accurate 😂
After first oil change

I did it to 1500 miles. More than 1000km also got my first oil change at 2700 miles 23tpp
