How Long Does the Break-in Period Last for a Car?

[AdalynnAnn]

The break-in period for a new car is generally between 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. Below is an introduction to some aspects of the car break-in period: 1. In the initial stage of the break-in period, when the mileage is below 500 kilometers, it's best not to drive too fast. Maintain a speed of 60-70 km/h, and keep the engine RPM below 2,200 for optimal performance. 2. When the mileage reaches around 500-1,000 kilometers, which is the mid-stage of the break-in period, the speed can be increased from 60-70 km/h to 90-100 km/h, with the engine RPM kept below 2,500 for the best results. This helps promote the break-in process. 3. When the mileage reaches approximately 1,000-1,500 kilometers, entering the late stage of the break-in period, the speed can be increased to below 120 km/h. The break-in process should be gradual, and the engine RPM should not exceed 3,000.
