Here are some things to remember as you pull it out of the dealer\u2019s lot:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>During the break-in period, typically the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km), keep your speed under 55 mph (88 kpm) or to the speed recommended by your car\u2019s manufacturer. <\/li>\n<li>Avoid heavy loads on the drive train, such as towing trailers, and loading the roof rack or trunk with heavy construction materials. <\/li>\n<li>Do not allow your new car to idle for long periods \u2014 this is good advice for the life of your car, but especially during breakin. The oil pressure generated by doing so may not be sending oil to every part of your engine. <\/li>\n<li>Use only light to medium acceleration, keeping the engine rpms below 3,000 for the first few hours of driving. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Care and Maintenance Tips Keep Your Car Running in Top-Notch Condition We\u2019ve compiled our best expert advice, surprising tricks, and car care tips to prolong the life of your automobile! 1.
