New JKUR Break In Procedure

[Rickster]

As I sit and wait for my 2015 JKUR to be delivered I've found myself wondering how to break in the engine properly.

Any suggestions?

Has anyone tried the Royal Purple Break-In oil??

The engine is "broke in" when it leaves the factory. I would not suggest doing it again. There is a procedure in the manual on how you should drive the Jeep for the first few hundred miles. It talks about a few load pulls to various RPMs over a range of miles.... Do that and then swap the oil & filter to remove any manufacturing debris.

Congratulations on the new rig!

Find the muddiest trail possible and give it hell. That's how I broke in my brand new 2013 JKUR :thumb:

Did you switch to synthetic or still running conventional motor oil?

The only thing I remember the manual recommending is avoiding long stretches of even RPMs in the first few hundred miles (i.e. setting to cruise on the freeway).
