If you have recently purchased a Ford vehicle that has little to no mileage on the odometer, then you may be wondering if there are any tips to breaking the vehicle in. Luckily, there are a few preventative maintenance steps you can take to make the process easy and painless.
First, you must be patient with your model. The goal is to make it last as long as possible after driving off the dealership lot. During the initial 1,600 km (1,000 miles), it is best to keep your top speed under 88 km/h (55 mph). This gives all of the oils and fluid a chance to run through the corresponding systems and lubricate the mechanisms properly.
Next, you should avoid towing trailers or loading up the roof rack. Excess weight can take a toll on the new powertrain. It is better to wait until you break that 1,600 km marker before adding anything extra.
Another tip is not to let the vehicle idle for too long. This prevents oil from getting into every part of the engine, which can be bad. Finally, don’t push the pedal to the metal, Use light to medium acceleration - keeping the RPMs under 3,000.
