What is the engine RPM?

[Dana]

Generally, the engine speed ranges between 1000~3500 RPM, with maximum torque output occurring around 3000 RPM, after which it inversely correlates with RPM. Below are additional details: Idle speed: Typically, the engine idles at 1000 RPM, increasing to 1500 RPM after starting. Shift to 2nd gear when speed does not exceed 15 km/h, with subsequent upshifts generally occurring at 2000 RPM until reaching the highest gear. For high-speed engines, the RPM can be increased by an additional 500. During normal driving, the RPM in any gear should generally not fall below 1500 or exceed 2500. Exceeding this range: When the RPM goes beyond this range, timely downshifting or upshifting is necessary. Therefore, maintaining an RPM around 3000 is usually sufficient for driving. Notes: The higher the engine RPM, the more work is done per unit time, resulting in greater power. However, higher RPMs accelerate the entire cycle, causing fuel to be expelled before it has sufficient time to fully combust. Consequently, fuel consumption increases exponentially. Thus, higher RPM is not always better. RPM should primarily be determined by speed and gear. Maintaining around 3000 RPM is adequate, as the engine delivers maximum power at this point. Additionally, avoid low-gear high-speed and high-gear low-speed driving, as both are harmful to the engine.
