1 Answers
Generally, the recommended RPM range for shifting gears in a car is between 1500-2500 rpm. Below is a relevant introduction about car RPM: Introduction to Car RPM: Vehicle RPM refers to the rotational speed of the car engine. RPM measures the number of revolutions a rotating object completes around a central point per unit of time. The Role of Car RPM: It promptly reflects the operating condition of the engine, allowing drivers to better coordinate gear positions and throttle settings, maintaining the car in optimal working condition, reducing wear and extending engine life. The engine's RPM is directly related to the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine, meaning the engine's effective power varies with different RPM levels. The car's tachometer is located on the instrument panel, symmetrically placed alongside the speedometer.
