What is the normal RPM range for an automatic transmission?
1 Answers
For a new automatic transmission vehicle during the initial break-in period, it is recommended not to exceed 2,200 RPM. During the mid break-in period, the RPM should not exceed 3,000, and it is also advisable to keep the RPM below 3,000 in the later break-in phase. Below is relevant information about RPM: 1. Cold start: When starting a cold engine, the idle RPM should not be below 800 RPM or above 1,200 RPM, as these indicate poor engine performance. 2. While driving: Try to avoid letting the engine operate below 2,000 RPM while driving, as low RPM can lead to insufficient engine power, excessive load on the engine at low speeds, potential engine damage, and increased carbon buildup.
