Do New Cars Need Break-In Oil?

[EliLynn]

New cars do not require additional break-in oil during the break-in period. Here are some important considerations for new car usage: 1. Avoid overloading: Carrying excessive weight during the break-in period can damage mechanical components. Since the powertrain components haven't fully broken in yet, aggressive acceleration may cause irreversible damage. Therefore, it's essential to follow the "slow and steady" principle during break-in. 2. Speed limitations: There are speed restrictions for new cars during break-in - typically 40-70 km/h for domestic vehicles and about 100 km/h for imported cars. When fully accelerating, the speed shouldn't exceed 80% of the maximum speed. The recommended engine RPM during break-in is between 2,000-4,000 rpm.
