Do new cars still have a break-in period now?

[ColtonLynn]

New cars still have a break-in period. Here are the usage methods during the break-in period: 1. Pre-heat the cold engine. Proper warm-up allows the engine oil to lubricate the engine internals better, reducing wear; 2. Shift gears promptly while driving, especially for manual transmission cars. During the break-in period, it's necessary to change gears appropriately to avoid high gear with low RPM or low gear with high RPM situations; 3. New cars require timely maintenance during the break-in period; 4. Although new cars can be driven on highways, it's important to control the operating time. Extended continuous operation of the engine during highway driving in the break-in period increases the risk of component wear.
