Can automatic transmission cars run on highways during the break-in period?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission cars can run on highways during the break-in period, as long as the engine is not operated at excessively high RPMs. The initial factory-installed oil in a car engine does not have optimal lubrication performance, so it is not recommended to run at high RPMs during the break-in period. The break-in period for most cars ranges between 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. After the first maintenance, the car can be driven normally on highways. For automatic transmission cars, using the Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and Drive (D) gears is usually sufficient for general driving needs. However, in some special driving conditions, other functional gears may be required. Therefore, with the correct control method, automatic transmission cars can perform better than manual transmission cars.
