Unconsciously, it is almost the end of the year (lunar calendar), and I believe that many netizens have also mentioned their favorite car or changed to a new car. However, the most annoying thing after picking up a new car is the running-in problem.
Indeed, whether the new car purchased is durable and fault-free has a lot to do with the operation during the “run-in period”. Generally speaking, before the new car has a mileage of 5,000 kilometers, it belongs to the running-in period. Although the engine of the new car has undergone “cold running-in” before leaving the factory, this running-in cannot replace the running-in in actual use. So, what problems should you pay attention to when running a new car?
It is necessary to warm up a cold car
Some people will ask: Now the engine technology is more advanced than before, is it necessary to pay so much attention to the hot car? Of course there is necessary. This is because proper preheating can help the oil form an “oil film” between engine components, thereby reducing engine component wear.
Shift gears in time while driving
This technique is mainly for manual transmission models. When driving a manual transmission model during the break-in period, shift gears should be timely and appropriate to avoid the wrong behavior of high-speed low-speed and low-speed high-speed rotation, and do not use one gear for a long time (of course, use the highest gear when the vehicle is fast). exceptions).
As for automatic transmission models, the driver needs to continue to accelerate when the road conditions are good.
Timely maintenance
The new car must be maintained in time during the break-in period. We only need to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on the vehicle manual, and after reaching a certain number of kilometers or time, timely carry out inspection and maintenance of the vehicle, replace the oil, oil filter, etc., and comprehensively check the chassis system.

Watch the oil condition
During the break-in period, the engine is in the critical phase of ??sinking in,?? the tiny metals that are produced by the operation of its components Chips will be mixed into the oil, if the oil is not replaced in time, it will increase the wear and tear of the engine.
