Does the Murcielago need to be run in ?
Hi,
For those of you who bought a Murcielago new, did you have to run it in ? I have read that new cars do not need to do this anymore, is this true ? Thanks |

All cars/bikes/engine should be run in from what I have heard. This being said, because of increase build tolerances and quality control "break in" an engine in is not as important as it used to be. When I buy a new car I don't dog the sh*t out of it until it has a couple of thousand miles and at least 1 oil change in it. When I bought the GSXR I put about 500 miles and 1 oil change on it before really crackin' the throttle open.
Hell if I owned a Lambo I would baby it for life, I want it to last as long as possible. Last edited by raven1822; 07-11-2003 at 02:23 AM. |

I was told it didn't need to be broken in. I didn't beleive that of course but I still couldn't resist a little fun. I now have 1700 miles.

I agree with all of you. I am always a little bit apprehensive when I buy a new auto. But you are so right, 580 bhp would be a little to hard to not abuse. Hell I can't even stop ridin' wheelies on the GSXR now. The damn thing spends more time one wheel than two.
