Do modern cars still have a break-in period?
1 Answers
Modern cars still have a break-in period. The precautions during the break-in period are: 1. Warm up the engine before starting; 2. Avoid emergency braking; 3. Avoid overloading; 4. Avoid long-distance driving; 5. Avoid high-speed driving; 6. Use high-quality gasoline; 7. Do not remove the speed limiter prematurely; 8. Shift gears promptly; 9. Properly adjust the ignition and fuel supply systems. The recommended speed during the break-in period is between 70 to 80 km/h, and the break-in mileage is approximately 500 km. The break-in period is a fundamental process to ensure that components fully contact, friction, adapt, and stabilize. It helps to adjust and enhance the ability of various car parts to adapt to the environment and wear down any protrusions on the components.
