What is the break-in mileage for a new car?
1 Answers
New cars typically have a break-in mileage of 1,000-2,500 kilometers, while imported vehicles generally require a longer break-in period, usually between 1,500-3,000 kilometers. Stages of the break-in period: The break-in period consists of three stages. The initial break-in occurs within the first 100 kilometers of driving, the preliminary break-in is achieved at 200 kilometers, and an oxidation film forms after approximately 3,000 kilometers. Driving speed: It's advisable to maintain low speeds during the break-in period. Generally, the maximum speed for trucks shouldn't exceed 45 km/h, while passenger cars should stay within 50-80 km/h. Additional precautions: Avoid letting the engine idle for too long before starting - about 30 seconds is sufficient. Refrain from emergency braking during the first 300 kilometers of driving.
