During the break-in period of a new car, there is a speed limit, which should generally be kept within 100 km/h. When the throttle is fully open, the speed should not exceed 80% of the maximum speed. Generally, during the break-in period, the engine speed should be kept between 2000 and 4000 rpm, and high speeds and long-distance driving should be avoided. Therefore, it is not advisable to drive continuously at speeds above 60 km/h during the break-in period. After the total mileage reaches 500 km, the speed can be slightly increased. Below are some precautions for the break-in period of a new car: 1. The break-in mileage for most vehicles is generally 1000-2500 km. The initial break-in period is the first 500 km, during which the speed should not be too fast, preferably below 70-80 km/h, and the engine speed should not exceed 2200 rpm. The mid-term break-in period is from 500 to 1000 km, during which the maximum speed can be appropriately increased, usually up to 90-100 km/h, with the engine speed still preferably below 2500 rpm. The late break-in period is from 1000 to 1500 km, during which the speed can be increased to below 120 km/h. Since the break-in is a gradual process, it must be done step by step. The engine speed should not exceed 3000 rpm. 2. During the break-in period, it is best not to exceed 75% to 90% of the rated load capacity of the new car. Therefore, heavy loads should not be carried, and driving on poor road surfaces should be avoided to minimize significant bumps and reduce the vehicle's load.

What Causes Noise After Cold Start of a Car?

Reasons for noise after cold start of a car: 1. Oil viscosity: When the engine is cold, the oil viscosity is higher. If the selected oil is too thick, it will cause additional wear on the starter motor and battery. However, if the oil is too thin, it may not form a sufficient protective film under high-temperature conditions, leading to insufficient lubrication and increased wear on components, resulting in noise. 2. Engine carbon deposits: Over time, old oil becomes thinner, leading to an accumulation of carbon deposits. 3. Engine resonance: Slippage due to aging of the water pump belt or engine belt can cause abnormal noise, or lack of lubrication in components such as the water pump impeller, water pump bearings, or generator bearings may lead to wear and noise.
