What is the break-in period for a car in kilometers?
1 Answers
The break-in period of a car refers to the initial driving phase of a new car or after a major overhaul, typically ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers. The break-in period of a new car has the following characteristics: 1. More driving malfunctions: Due to factors such as improper assembly of components, new cars tend to experience more driving malfunctions during the break-in period; 2. Higher fuel consumption: To ensure that the new car operates under a light load during the break-in period, carburetor cars are equipped with speed limiters, which can easily lead to an overly rich air-fuel mixture, thereby increasing fuel consumption; 3. Lubricating oil is prone to deterioration: During the break-in period, the rough surfaces of components and the small gaps between them cause the lubricating oil temperature to rise. Additionally, many metal particles are worn off and fall into the lubricating oil, making it more susceptible to oxidation and deterioration.
