New car running-in should pay attention to what problems? You may wish to learn the ten new car running-in skills we are about to introduce, so that your car can successfully pass this period of determining "future happiness" running-in period.

For many people, the car is still a "luxury", with hard-earned money to buy a new car, at least 10 years to open it. Whether the car is durable and has fewer problems has a lot to do with the operation of the "running-in period". Generally speaking, new cars belong to the running-in period before 5000 kilometers. Although the engine of the new car has been "cold running-in" before leaving the factory, this running-in still cannot replace the running-in in actual use. So, what problems should be paid attention to in new car running-in? You may wish to learn the ten new car running-in skills we are about to introduce, so that your car can successfully pass this period of determining "future happiness" running-in period.

Tip 1: It is necessary to warm up the cold car

Some people will ask: Now the engine technology is more advanced than before, there is still a need to pay attention to hot cars? Of course it is. This is because reasonable preheating can help the oil form an "oil film" between the engine parts and components, thereby reducing the wear of the engine parts.

Tip 2: Shift in time when driving

This trick is mainly for manual transmission models. When driving manual shift models in the running-in period, the shift should be timely and appropriate, avoid the wrong behavior of high gear low speed and low gear high speed, and do not use a gear for a long time (of course, except for the case of high gear when the speed is fast). As for automatic models, when the road conditions are good, the driver needs to continue to accelerate, while paying attention to the engine speed, try not to step on the accelerator to accelerate.

Tip 3: Maintenance should be timely

The new car must be maintained in time during the run-in period. We only need to follow the manufacturer's recommendations on the vehicle manual, after reaching a certain number of kilometers or time, timely inspection and maintenance of the vehicle, replacement of oil, oil filter, etc., and a comprehensive inspection of the chassis system.

Tip four: Pay more attention to the state of the oil

During the run-in period, the engine is in the critical stage of "gradually entering the state", and the tiny metal chips generated by the operation of its components will be mixed with the oil, if the oil is not replaced in time, it will increase the wear of the engine.

One thing must be noted, that is, do not add any so-called "anti-wear additives" to the oil, otherwise it is not worth the loss.

Tip 5: Add fuel to maintain quality

Many new car owners are frugal to buy cars, in order to save money, everyone will go to some private gas stations with lower oil prices. However, the quality of the oil in these stations is not guaranteed, and the damage to the vehicle can be large or small.

Tip 6: Do not blindly "pull high speed"

Many owners have a misunderstanding, that the new car "pull the high speed" is to drive fast, and then the new car to the highway a crazy run... Tip 7: Don't run at high speeds for long periods of time

The engine works continuously for a long time with high load, which is easy to cause increased wear and tear of the parts, especially for new cars. Driving on the highway for a long time is a high load operation for the engine of a new car.

Tip No. 8: Avoid running your vehicle constantly full

The new car often runs fully in the run-in period, which is a heavy load, which will lead to an increase in the load of the engine and gearbox. The engine output power caused by high load is too large, which will cause excessive wear of the machine parts in the long run.

Tip 9: Try to avoid emergency braking

Emergency braking will not only impact the braking system in running-in, but also increase the impact load of the vehicle chassis and engine.

Tip 10: Never use a new car as a "trainer"

Some new owners are very generous, like to take their new car to other novice practice, but they do not know that such a practice can be described as "destroying the car behavior" for the new car.

Summary: Everyone wants their car to be more durable with fewer problems, but many people often ignore the importance of the new run-in period, which leads to the new car not fully into the state of the problem. As the owner of the car, it is necessary for us to make the car smoothly through the run-in period, laying a good foundation for the long car stage in the future. I hope the ten running-in skills mentioned in this article can help the novice owners.
