When is the break-in period for a new car?
1 Answers
The break-in period for a new car refers to the initial driving phase, typically around 5,000 kilometers. The engine break-in period requires approximately 3,000 kilometers of driving, while the transmission mainly involves gear meshing with a break-in period of about 5,000 kilometers. The tire-to-road surface break-in period is the shortest, usually completed within 200 to 300 kilometers. The vehicle break-in period is the initial driving stage after purchasing a new car or major overhaul, serving as the essential mileage for components to fully contact, frictionally adapt, and stabilize. During this period, the car's components can adjust and enhance their environmental adaptability while wearing down surface irregularities. The quality of this break-in process significantly impacts the vehicle's lifespan, safety, and fuel efficiency.
