What is the recommended speed per hour during the break-in period of a new car?
1 Answers
Generally, it is advisable to keep the speed below 70-80 km/h, with the engine speed not exceeding 2200 rpm. During the mid-term break-in period (500-1000 km), the maximum speed can be appropriately increased, usually up to 90-100 km/h, while still keeping the engine speed below 2500 rpm. Precautions during the break-in period of a new car: 1. Warm up before starting: Warming up the engine allows sufficient time for lubrication. 2. Start smoothly: Gradual acceleration from a smooth start helps the engine adapt better. 3. Avoid high engine speeds: For the first 500 km, it is recommended not to exceed 80 km/h and to avoid driving on highways. 4. Avoid maintaining a single gear for too long: For automatic transmission cars, it is necessary to control different speeds to break in both the transmission and engine.
