At What Engine RPM Should You Shift Gears?
1 Answers
You should shift gears when the engine RPM reaches above 70% of the maximum torque RPM, but it also depends on whether the engine is a high-revving type. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the fuel in a sealed cylinder, which expands the gas and pushes the pistons to perform work. Increasing the air intake and fuel injection can enhance the engine's power output, generating greater horsepower. Methods for engine maintenance include: 1. Using qualified engine oil; 2. Using qualified coolant and antifreeze; 3. Regularly cleaning the radiator scale; 4. Periodically removing engine carbon deposits; 5. Regularly replacing the car's three filters; 6. Maintaining a reasonable RPM range.
