How to Use an Engine?

This is the foundation for extending its service life. Whether it's a new engine or one that has undergone major repairs, it must be run in according to the specified procedures before it can be put into normal operation. Diesel and gasoline are the primary fuels for engines. If the supply of diesel, gasoline, or air is delayed or interrupted, issues such as difficulty starting, poor combustion, and reduced power may occur. Due to the effects of vibration, impact, and uneven loads during the operation of diesel and gasoline engines, all adjustment bolts in various parts should be inspected. This includes timely inspection and adjustment of the valve clearance, valve timing, fuel injection timing, injection pressure, and ignition timing for diesel or gasoline engines. Regular maintenance of the engine is essential to ensure it always operates in good condition.
When I first started learning to drive, I had to figure out how to use the engine. First, get in the car and sit firmly, press the brake pedal, then turn the key or push the start button to ignite. After the car starts, don’t rush to press the accelerator; let the engine idle for a while, especially in winter—give it a minute or two to warm up to protect the engine components. During daily driving, control the accelerator smoothly to accelerate gradually, avoiding sudden presses or releases, which saves fuel and reduces wear. If driving a manual transmission, the timing of gear shifts is crucial—shift up when you hear the engine sound getting louder. Remember, always let the RPM drop before turning off the engine to prevent carbon buildup. Regularly check the engine oil and coolant to ensure the engine lasts longer.
