How Many Kilometers Count as the Break-in Period?

[ClaraAnn]

It is considered past the break-in period after driving five thousand kilometers. Driving methods during the break-in period include: 1. Preheating the cold car—properly warming up the car allows the engine oil to lubricate the engine effectively, reducing wear; 2. Timely gear shifting while driving, especially for manual transmission cars—during the break-in period, it is necessary to shift gears appropriately to avoid driving at high gear with low RPM or low gear with high RPM; 3. New cars require timely maintenance during the break-in period. Driving a car requires the owner to familiarize themselves with aspects such as the car's brakes, throttle, shock absorption, steering force, and gear-shifting logic to better understand the car's performance.
