How long does it take to drive over 10,000 kilometers?
1 Answers
Based on the average highway speed of around 100 kilometers per hour, it would take approximately 100 hours, or roughly four days and four hours of continuous driving. Here are some driving precautions to keep in mind: 1. Avoid driving at high RPM: Matching RPM and gear selection is now part of the driving test standards, highlighting its importance. Prolonged high-RPM driving can damage the engine. 2. Do not idle to warm up the engine: With advancements in engine technology, modern fuel-injected engines have temperature compensation systems that allow normal driving even when cold. Extended warm-up periods only increase fuel consumption. 3. Regularly check the levels of engine oil, coolant, and battery electrolyte: These fluids are essential for proper vehicle operation. A deficiency in any of them can cause immeasurable damage to your car. 4. Avoid overloading: Every vehicle has a rated load capacity. Exceeding this limit can lead to mechanical damage. A common form of overloading is towing another vehicle, which is harmful and offers no benefits. It's best to keep the load within 70% to 80% of the rated capacity. 5. Rotate tires periodically: Based on past experience, tires should be cross-rotated every 20,000 kilometers—for example, swapping the front left tire with the rear right tire and the front right tire with the rear left tire—to balance wear. 6. Turn off the air conditioning in advance during summer: Since air conditioning is frequently used in summer, it's advisable to switch it to natural air mode one minute before parking and turning off the engine. This reduces damage to the AC system and extends its lifespan.
