What is the best way to break in a new manual transmission car?
1 Answers
The methods for breaking in a new car are as follows: 1. During the break-in period, the load should not be too heavy, avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration, do not let the engine run at high RPM for extended periods, and shift gears promptly and appropriately. Do not perform the first maintenance prematurely or delay it during the break-in period. Avoid aggressive driving, keep the engine RPM from being too high, and try to drive on paved roads. 2. Once the first maintenance time is reached, perform the first maintenance and choose the appropriate engine oil type. After the first maintenance, you can drive more aggressively. 3. During the first maintenance, be sure to replace the oil filter as well. The oil filter usually comes with a rubber sealing ring, which also needs to be replaced. If the car is brand new, try to avoid long-distance trips. The break-in process for manual transmission cars is very similar to that of automatic transmission cars; just ensure you shift into the appropriate gear when needed.
