Almost all booklets and vendors print it on your heart if you are a new car purchase; the first x number of miles not too many revolutions to make, and easy to do. But is that still necessary?
It leads more than once to discussions, the entry of a car. The one is the bullshit, the other swears to it. But what is really the best for the longevity of the powertrain?
The idea behind breaking in is the fact that moving parts of the engine in a good way on each other inslijten. Think of sharp edges to the gears and valves, relatively rough cylinder liners and non-slip rings. By the first few thousand miles of quiet to do this would optimally interact with each other and get you in the longer term, a lower burden of excessive oil consumption and diminished performance.
More accurate machines
Most experts agree that running has become less important than in the past. That’s because there is the last years big steps have been taken in the accuracy of production machines and the materials used in the engine it’s improved. That makes modern engines of new on a lot more of each other and there is less need to be ‘ingrained’. Today it is actually only the piston rings, that require breaking.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that you are approaching the showroom to drive. For every car -regardless of the age and mileage – is that overloading is never a good thing. Especially in a cold engine is the wear and tear extra-large because the lubricating effect of the oil than is not optimal.
Running 2.0
How in 2014 or should be running? In short, it is a matter of not too crazy, but definitely not too careful. Just with your farmers mind. That means that you get the car the first few thousand kilometers is not too heavy tax by multiple or prolonged the maximum ability to speak. A too high temperature may lead to excessive wear and tear.
Dynamic drive
It is important that the car is regularly on operating temperature. A little bit of dynamics in the use is recommended. You can a few times the gas in stages and make sure to also longer trips with the car. So is everything well lubricated and you will prevent that the engine is lazy. Especially with turbocharged engines is that of interest to olieproblemen long-term to prevent. Only the weekly groceries and the kids off at school is so not a good idea.
No oil change
What you need to do is to prematurely change the oil because contaminated by ‘fabricagevuil’. The tiny metal particles in the oil are a perfect Polish that the reduction of the engine speed. Hold you to that specified by the manufacturer recommendations and regularly check the oil level.
Turbo’s
With a turbocharged engine, it is advisable to be extra careful. A turbo is running extremely high rpm and a good lubrication, so additional closely. The good hot drive that you are going to entrust is here even more important than at atmospheric blocks. Also, the lifetime benefit for the last few miles before you reach your destination, not much rpm. If you do, you run the risk that the turbo, when the engine is off, continues to operate without lubrication.
What do you think, is running this time or is it pure nonsense?
