Does a New Car Need a Break-in Period? What Should Be Noted?

[JadeAnn]

It is necessary to avoid sharp turns or sudden braking, control the maximum speed and RPM, avoid overloading, refrain from long-distance trips, pay attention to maintenance during the break-in period, and use high-quality engine oil. Below is additional information regarding the break-in period for a newly overhauled car: 1. Determining the break-in load: The initial load is generally (10-20)Pe (Pe being the rated power), and the final break-in load is usually (0.8-1.0)Pe, with gasoline engines typically recommended at 0.80Pe. 2. Break-in duration: Adding an appropriate amount of active additives to the lubricating oil can significantly improve the break-in process. Break-in time: The cold break-in time for each RPM level is approximately 15 minutes, totaling 60 minutes.
