What is the recommended RPM during the break-in period for a new car?
1 Answers
The recommended RPM during the break-in period for a new car is between 2000 to 2300 revolutions per minute. The initial break-in period covers the first 500 kilometers of driving, followed by the mid-term break-in period from 500 to 1000 kilometers, during which the RPM should be kept below 2500 rpm. The final break-in period from 1000 to 1500 kilometers allows RPM between 2500 to 3500 rpm. Important precautions during the new car break-in period include: 1. Avoid sudden braking and rapid acceleration; 2. Always warm up the engine before driving; 3. Avoid overloading, as carrying full capacity may damage mechanical components; 4. Avoid long-distance trips, as prolonged engine operation increases component wear; 5. Use only reputable gas stations and ensure fuel octane meets (but doesn't necessarily exceed) manufacturer specifications, while maintaining fuel cleanliness.
