In the days of the USSR, our fathers and grandfathers completely ran into the engines of their Zhiguli and Muscovites, so that the components and compositions “were used”, modified, the car did not suffer from increased fuel and oil consumption, as well as did not swear to annoy. Times have changed and many motorists are confident that modern cars do not require a break-in. And in vain…
Previously, it was believed that it is worth driving at least 1000 kilometers at a leisurely pace without regassing and “pedaling to the floor”, and you can afford to “burn” on the odometer only after 5000. Now engines are being broken in at production stands, but it will not be superfluous to show tenderness to the most important part of a car.
Despite the fact that car manufacturers do the so-called cold run-in on technical stands, during operation, the “hot” will also not hurt, which, in particular, both military and specialized experts say. In this case, it is necessary to briefly start the engine several times, then bring it up to operating temperature, then turn it off and let it cool. And, most importantly, the work should only take place at rest. Further burglary consists in driving a car at a speed of up to 2500.
As for the speed of movement, experts recommend avoiding sudden accelerations and do not accelerate above 70-80 km / h until the car has overcome the first 500-700 kilometers. But even up to 1000 kilometers you should not “fire” either: the optimal limit is 120 km/h. But after that – please.
Separately, it should be noted about special additives designed to help the engine during run-in. Yes, such automotive chemicals really “work”, but only in the case of engines that have survived a major overhaul. In other words, it doesn’t have to be poured into the power unit of a new car. Let’s say more: it can even cause damage and then force the car owner to regularly “feed” the engine with chemical compounds for its impeccable performance.
By the way, do you know what absolutely cannot be done with a car engine in the fall? Then you are here.
