What is the mileage for the car break-in period?
1 Answers
The break-in period for a new car is generally between 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. The characteristics of the break-in period are as follows: 1. More minor issues: It is normal for a new car to experience minor faults during the break-in period, as the components have not yet fully settled in. Poor driving habits can increase the likelihood of faults, so drivers should be cautious during this period. 2. Higher fuel consumption: During the break-in period, the gaps between engine components are relatively small, requiring more power during operation, which leads to increased fuel consumption. It is common for fuel consumption to be 1-2 units higher during this time. If fuel consumption remains high after the break-in period, it is advisable to inspect the vehicle promptly to avoid other potential issues. 3. Lubricant deterioration: The high friction between new components can raise the temperature of the lubricant, and impurities may also mix into it during operation, potentially causing oxidation and deterioration of the lubricant.
