Break in period for 15 Genesis 3.8?

[texasjack]

I just purchased a new Genesis Sedan and after searching the owners manual I do not find break in recommendation.

This is Hyundai Number #14 for me and all the others recommended 600 miles.

I have built many engines in my younger days and I always varied the speed for the first 1,000 miles.

Open to suggestions.

Thank You

Jack

SOP is usually to vary the speed and don't mash the brakes for about that mileage. I would also omit drag racing for a while too.
Too many folks overlook gentle braking and end up with warped rotors.

Break-in: Nothing special, but . . .
For 600 miles, don't race engine, drive at 2k to 6k rpm. Vary engine speed (an actual use for the paddle shifters). Avoid hard stops, except emergencies.

my salesman said there was break in period
so after going 100 on an undisclosed empty roadway
i can say it has a very smooth ride felt like 60

Here is the break-in information from the manual



As you put miles on your new Genesis you will also notice the exhaust note will change around 2000 miles. Drive it like you stole it after the break in. You will also notice poorer fuel mileage during the break-in period. It improves over time. On average I get around 21 mpg with my 5.0 in mixed city/highway driving. Not bad for a car with 420 hp. I burn Mobil Super Unleaded now full time. Worth the few extra penny's per gallon and on average improved the fuel mileage to offset the cost.

Or, you could say "Wait a minute."

Pretty funny. They say that NO break-in period is required, but then they go on to describe one.
