2022 Jeep Wrangler Engine Break-In Recommendations
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS —GASOLINE ENGINE
- A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your vehicle.
- Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
- While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and should be avoided.
- The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy-conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur.
- For the recommended viscosity and quality grades page 424.
CAUTION
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.
NOTE
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as a problem.
