Question on break-in period

[Doublesixx]

Hi, guys! Still under 200 miles on ours here, but what is the official "break in" period? I have looked through all the "start-up" guides quickly (as I had a 2024 EV version) but little about the sixpack. If you need to bump this to another thread where the answer is that is cool, too.

So, nothing in the owner's manual?

I'm looking today - there was no owner manual (it was a short version) in the car but you can pull it up on the screen so will trek through that at some point today...lol.

For the Dodge Hurricane engine break-in, it is generally recommended to follow these guidelines:

• No formal break-in procedure is required for the Hurricane engine.

• Moderate driving is advised during the first 300 miles (500 km), aiming for speeds of around 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h).
  
  1
• Avoid excessive strain on the engine and transmission, and avoid hard acceleration to prevent wear on the engine components.
  
  1
• Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial to ensure the engine's longevity and performance.

  These practices can help ensure the proper break-in period for the Hurricane engine, leading to better performance and longevity.
