Is Break-in Period Necessary for New Cars?
1 Answers
New cars must undergo a break-in period. Below are relevant materials about the break-in period for new cars: 1. A newly purchased car requires a break-in period. The quality of the break-in will significantly impact the vehicle's lifespan, safety, and fuel efficiency. 2. The most critical aspect during the break-in period is limiting the engine's RPM. Excessive RPM during this period increases the risk of damaging the piston rings. 3. The break-in period is divided into three stages: initial, middle, and final: 1. Initial stage: Generally, the maximum speed should be controlled around 40km/h. 2. Middle stage: Under good road conditions, the maximum speed can be increased to 60km/h. 3. Final stage: The speed can then be raised to approximately 80km/h. Maintain moderate speeds during the break-in period—neither too high nor too low, as excessively low speeds will increase fuel consumption.
