- Confirm that all hoses, belts, and electrical connections are securely installed.
Prime the Oil System:
- Before starting, prime the oil system by removing the fuel pump relay and cranking the engine for a few seconds. This ensures oil reaches all internal components before the engine runs under load.
Initial Startup (First 15 Minutes)
Warm Up the Engine:
- Start the engine and let it idle for 10–15 minutes to reach operating temperature.
- Monitor oil pressure, coolant temperature, and listen for unusual noises.
- Avoid revving the engine during this period.
Inspect for Leaks:
- Check for any oil, coolant, or fuel leaks during the warm-up phase.
First 500 Miles
Vary the Engine RPM:
- Avoid prolonged idling or running the engine at a constant speed for extended periods.
- Drive at varying speeds and RPMs to allow the piston rings to seat properly. Keep the engine under 3,500 RPM during this period.
Avoid Heavy Loads:
- Refrain from towing, hauling heavy loads, or aggressive acceleration.
Oil Change After 500 Miles:
- Perform the first oil and filter change after the initial 500 miles to remove any contaminants or debris from the break-in process.
- Use 5W-20 full synthetic oil and a high-quality oil filter.
500–1,000 Miles
Continue Varying RPM:
- Gradually increase RPM and throttle input but avoid running the engine at its redline or wide-open throttle (WOT).
Moderate Driving:
- You can begin light towing or hauling if necessary but avoid excessive loads until after the 1,000-mile mark.
After 1,000 Miles
Normal Operation:
- Begin driving the vehicle as you normally would, including full throttle and higher RPMs if necessary.
- Perform routine maintenance as specified in your vehicle’s owner’s manual.
Regular Maintenance:
- Follow recommended oil change intervals and use high-quality fluids and filters to ensure the engine continues to perform optimally.
Tips for a Successful Break-In
- Monitor Performance: Keep an eye on oil pressure, engine temperature, and overall vehicle behavior during the break-in process.
- Avoid Synthetic Oil During the First 500 Miles (if Not Pre-Filled): While Fraser engines typically include synthetic oil, if you’re unsure, use conventional oil during the initial break-in period unless specified otherwise.
- Check for Updates: Ensure the vehicle’s Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is updated to match the new engine.
