Do new cars need a break-in period now?

[ColemanMarie]

Nowadays, new cars still require a break-in period. The break-in period for a new car is generally between 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. During this period, it is essential for the owner to control the speed appropriately and avoid sudden braking or rapid acceleration. Below is more information about the break-in period for new cars: 1. Warm up the engine before starting the vehicle to ensure proper lubrication, preventing unnecessary malfunctions during the break-in period that could affect normal usage. 2. The engine break-in requires approximately 1,000 kilometers. For the first 500 kilometers, try driving at a speed of 60 to 70 km/h, keeping the RPM below 2,200. Between 500 to 1,000 kilometers, you can increase the speed to 90 to 100 km/h, maintaining the RPM below 2,500. This helps facilitate the break-in process.
