Re: Break-In Period For '05 Accord

You got it. Vary your speed, no full throttle starts, use the brakes firmly but not excessively hard. The Honda dealer here tells them 500 miles of reasonable driving, then drive it like you stole it.

Don't use the cruise on those flats if you can avoid it. Let it climb slowly to your max speed you are gonna drive, then let it coast down 10-15 mph.

They really don't need the break-in like they used to, cause machining processes and tolerances are much better than in the past, so parts don't have to wear into each other gradually as much as they used to.

It still can't hurt to give it a little time to wear in.
