I got into a discussion with a friend yesterday about something he could do and not do with his brand new car. I thought it would be nice to share some of them.
Here are some advice, surprising tricks, and car care tips to prolong the life of your brand new automobile
Be patient during the break-in period( break-in is generally a process of moving parts wearing against each other to produce the last small bit of size and shape adjustment that will settle them into a stable relationship for the rest of their working life.)
You’ve bought your dream brand new car and now you want to make it last as long as possible in top condition. Here are some things to remember.
• During the break-in period, typically the first 1,600 km, keep your speed under 88 km or to the speed recommended by your car’s manufacturer.
• Avoid heavy loads on the drive train, such as towing other cars , and loading the roof rack or trunk with heavy materials.
• Do not allow your new car to idle for long periods — this is good advice for the life of your car, but especially during break-in. The oil pressure generated by doing so may not be sending oil to every part of your engine.
• Use only light to medium acceleration, keeping the engine rpms below 3,000 for the first few hours of driving.
• Do not exceed 4,000 rpm until the engine has reached full operating temperature.
• Avoid labouring the engine by operating the engine in too high a gear at low speeds.
• Do not use full throttle during starts and normal driving.
With all these listed above, you will be able to prolong the life of your car. I will discuss same for used cars tomorrow.
Keep a date with me.
Kindly share.
Thanks
