I am unsure as to what you mean, but a breaking in period is from brand new to peak power, so it's only necessary to do it once. A car should be broken in from around 189 miles / 304 kilometres onwards (not entirely sure, in my experience though that's not far off).

Only once, anything after reaching the peak will permanently lower your HP by a bit.

Only once, atleast 2 oil changes are necessary to keep power of vehicle at peak, before break in period is finished. Best to give car oil change right after buying before using in a race unless, you are trying to keep cars PP level low for a PP regulated event like a Seasonal TT or ASpec event.

In my experience, I usually get first power drop at 95 miles second at 185. Once a Vehicle hits 10,000 miles all power losses are permanent regardless of engine rebuild or oil changes.

At 3890 miles you must rebuild engine to keep power at peak, as an oil change will only bring back some HorsePower.

For maximum power, engines need to be broken in when new, and again each time it's rebuilt. Other comments above are true regarding break-in mileage and oil changes.

Rebuilt or Refreshed. Once rebuilt engine wont break in again. OCD cars actually dont need to break in at all just change oil when new.

True with the OCD cars.

I've seen some UCD cars with 54,000 km or more on the odometer. Does that mean the engine has been broken in and then beaten down with no oil changes and permanent hp loss?

Unfortunately yes DGXR. When I do buy UCD cars, I try and grab models under 10,000 km, or lower so atleast it will still have all HP when I rebuild. Happy Hunting.👍

Well, as Bob Dylan once wrote:

How many roads must an Odyssey run
before you call it a van?
Yes and how many streets must a white Dodge sprint
before it skids in the sand?
Yes and how many times must the cars be break in
to hit their peak power band?
The answer my friend is racin' Like the wind

How many years must a Mustang exist
before it appears in the UCD?
Yes and how many months must some DLC exist
before they're given for free?
Yes and how many times must a man turn his head-to-see-the-rear-view-mirror-in-some-of-the-cockpits
because he just doesn't see?
The answer my friend is racin' Like the wind

How many times Mazda man look up

before he can hear a player cry?
Yes and how many puns will it take 'til he knows
that too many Miata's were supplied?
