Is it a problem to drive a new car at 140 km/h?

[McLondon]

Driving a new car at 140 km/h can cause issues. A new car should be properly broken in before reaching 140 km/h. The vehicle's transmission system and lubrication system can suffer varying degrees of damage, affecting the car's lifespan. Definition of the break-in period: This refers to the initial operation phase of a new car, typically ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers. It is the essential mileage required for components to fully contact, friction, adapt, and stabilize. During the break-in period, a car exhibits characteristics such as rapid part wear, susceptibility to malfunctions, easy deterioration of lubricating oil, and high fuel consumption. It is important to observe load limits, speed limits, use high-quality lubricating oil, "warm up at low speeds," start slowly, accelerate gently, shift gears appropriately, brake gradually, strictly control coolant temperature, and frequently check the temperature of the transmission, drive axle, and wheel hubs. Purpose of the break-in period: The break-in period for a car is like an athlete warming up before a competition, helping to adjust and enhance the adaptability of all components to their operating environment.
