How long should the break-in period be for a newly purchased car?

[Noelle]

For a newly purchased car, the break-in period typically requires driving approximately 5,000 kilometers. The methods for using a car during the break-in period are as follows: 1. Preheating the cold engine is essential, as proper warm-up allows the oil to lubricate the engine internals effectively, reducing wear; 2. Timely gear shifting is crucial while driving, especially for manual transmission cars. During the break-in period, it's necessary to change gears appropriately to avoid situations like high gear with low RPM or low gear with high RPM; 3. New cars require timely maintenance during the break-in phase. Drivers need to familiarize themselves with the car's braking, throttle, suspension, steering response, and gear-shifting logic to better understand the vehicle's performance.
