    my FJ only has 350km on the ODO. will it be safe if i join the trip before the required 1000km engine break-in?

    Better dont. Sand requires high rpm, which is not advisable during break.in.
    Btw, my new car i felt it really broken.in after 15k km…

    Hi Faheem,

    Sounds like a nice drive, but cannot make it that evening. Hope you will get warmer weather than last week. 😉

    I will join the drive on Friday though. See you again soon.

    There are several schools of thought on this.

    Personally I think driving in sand is a great way to break in your engine. I took my new car into sand with less than 100kms on the clock.

    IMO the best way to wear in an engine is to load it as much as possible. I am not talking smashing limiter, but constant variation in the rpm and load (i.e. gears and incline) is great for wear in. So as long as it’s a relaxing drive I would go for gold. :drive:

    But I am a big believer in the fact most people run low revs at a constant rpm to wear in an engine because of old metals and manufacturing methods from the 60’s and its one of the worst things to do in modern day engines

    Here is an interesting read for you:
