It is not necessary to add break-in additives when refueling a new car. The key for a new car is the break-in period, during which the metal components of the engine need to make contact, break in, and become familiar with each other. It is crucial to quickly bring the engine's friction surfaces into good working condition, drive the car correctly for proper vehicle break-in, use high-quality engine oil products, and pay attention to the maintenance of the oil filter and lubrication system. Generally, high-quality break-in additives are composed of antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, and some viscosity improvers, which provide certain protection for the engine, and adding them will not have any adverse effects. Most inferior products are simply anti-wear agents, and reducing friction may prolong the break-in period, which is not conducive to the break-in of a new car.
