Can a New Car Handle Long-Distance Trips?

[StEvan]

New cars can handle long-distance trips as long as you ensure the engine speed does not exceed 3000 RPM. Long-distance travel may involve various road conditions, and although speed limits differ on highways, national roads, and provincial roads, the maximum speed for a new car during the break-in period can be maintained at around 100 km/h. It is acceptable for a new car to undertake long-distance trips. Before setting off on a long journey, it is advisable to warm up the car. After prolonged parking, the engine oil flows back to the oil pan at the bottom of the engine, leaving the upper part of the engine without lubrication. It takes approximately 30 seconds after starting the engine for the oil pump to circulate the oil to critical components such as the pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft. Even if you start driving immediately after starting the engine, as long as you avoid aggressive acceleration and maintain low RPMs, the car can still warm up effectively.
