How to Break in a Car After Major Overhaul?
1 Answers
Methods for breaking in a car after major overhaul: 1. Avoid high speeds: The overhauled engine will have speed restrictions, try to maintain a speed below 80 km/h; 2. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during break-in but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. Do not perform emergency braking within 300 km after the overhaul; 3. Pay attention to oil maintenance: Use high-quality, high-cleanliness engine oil for the car, and do not use oil below the manufacturer's specified grade. Avoid adding oils with anti-wear additives or various other additives to prevent further engine damage; 4. Coolant check: After the engine overhaul, regularly check the coolant level. Insufficient coolant can cause engine overheating and wear; 5. Warm-up before starting: Warm up the engine before starting. Warming up is actually giving the engine enough time to lubricate, especially for turbocharged models, which must be warmed up before starting, and the lubrication time should be at least one minute.
