Does long-distance driving cause significant wear and tear on a car?
1 Answers
Long-distance driving causes relatively minor wear and tear on a car. The primary wear on a car's engine occurs during cold starts and rapid acceleration. Here is some relevant information: 1. New cars on long trips: During the break-in period, continuous engine operation time increases, which can easily lead to component wear. Additionally, new cars have speed restrictions during the break-in period. Domestic cars typically have a speed limit of 40-70 km/h, while imported cars are limited to under 100 km/h. When the throttle is fully open, the speed should not exceed 80% of the maximum speed. 2. Proper fuel usage: Do not use fuel below or above the recommended grade, and always use clean fuel. Furthermore, try to choose higher-quality road surfaces to reduce the load on the body and powertrain.
