What s going on with the new car run in, and does the new car need to be run in?

New cars have experienced cold running-in from the factory, but in order to achieve better and best results for the engine, we usually buy new cars back to run-in, the run-in period is generally within 3000 kilometers, and the run-in period needs to pay attention to a few points;

1. Avoid emergency braking

Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during the break-in, but also increases the shock load on the chassis and engine, and it is best not to brake urgently during the first 300 km.

2. Avoid overloading

If the new car is running at full load during the run-in period, it will cause damage to the parts. Therefore, within the first 1000 kilometers, the general load capacity should not exceed 75%-80% of the rated load.

3. Avoid premature oil changes

The initial oil of the car is a special lubricating oil for the run-in period, with low viscosity, good heat dissipation, superior cleaning and oxidation resistance, and some abrasives are also added that are conducive to the run-in, so the oil during the run-in period only needs to be changed according to the time specified by the manufacturer, and should not be replaced too early.

4. Avoid starting without hot car:

The so-called preheating is actually to give the engine a full lubrication time, especially the turbocharged model must be warmed up before starting.

5. Avoid driving at one speed for a long time. The new car can go to the high speed, but it is necessary to change the speed of the car, that is, not to keep the engine at a speed for a long time, not to exceed the speed limit at high speed, and to keep the engine speed at 3000 rpm.

Have you ever run in for your new car?

New cars need to be run-in, and most of the vehicles that come with the instruction manual will indicate in detail what the mileage required for the run-in period is, usually divided into kilometers and other different gears.

However, it should be noted that the run-in method of the new car is not used for the old cars of the past, it has its own characteristics. Generally speaking, the new car does not need to deliberately pay attention to the speed and engine speed when running in, just pay attention not to drive at high speed and fixed speed for a long time, but do not keep pressing the accelerator to the bottom for floor oil driving.

There is another point to note, that is, the run-in of the braking system, under normal circumstances, the new tire needs 600 kilometers of normal wear and tear of its tread to achieve the best friction, and the brake pads also need 400 kilometers of running-in period to achieve a better working condition, when the entire vehicle braking system is still in the run-in period, we must try to avoid emergency braking, and do not fully load and overload.

Cars have become an indispensable means of transportation for people to travel, in today's car-making technology has been very exquisite, do you need to be careful to run in after buying a new car?
