(Baonghean.vn) - The feeling of driving a new car will make the owner excited and thrilled, so many people may use the car unreasonably, leading to the car quickly breaking down and deteriorating... To keep the car durable, beautiful, and running smoothly, below are some things you should not do with a new car when you first buy it.

1.Starting and stopping the car suddenly

A new car will make you excited with the increase in speed, however this will cause the car to consume more gas, wear out the brake pads and brake discs in case of having to slow down when pressing the accelerator. It is best not to abuse the new car and drive at high speed. You should drive at a stable, reasonable speed so that you can easily concentrate on observing and driving safely.

2. Step on the gas

This operation can damage the car engine, especially in the first 1000 km. Sudden temperature changes will adversely affect the car's parts. Therefore, the driver should not step on the gas and go immediately, but let the car idle for 1 or 2 minutes after starting. This will make the engine warm up, and at the same time increase the oil pressure to fully lubricate the parts.

3. Press the clutch pedal

While waiting for a red light, or while standing on a steep road, many drivers have the habit of pressing the clutch pedal and just waiting for the brake to go. This causes the clutch brake pads to wear out quickly, and the clutch can easily slip the next time they use it, especially when the driver has to carry a heavy load uphill.

4. Run at maximum rpm

The lubricating oil inside the engine of a newly purchased car is still thick, causing the friction parts to not operate smoothly. Therefore, the engine cannot operate at optimal capacity. According to experts, you should run at 3,500 - 4,500 rpm for the first 300 - 800 km.

5. Run roda

Many drivers still believe that running the car in when they first buy it will help the car wear evenly and prevent warping between the friction mechanisms. In fact, this is not necessary. Instead, experts recommend that drivers run at 80% load at the car's maximum speed for the first 1,000 km.

6. Run many long trips

Driving on long distances forces the vehicle to operate at high efficiency, the engine parts must work at full capacity. This is the fastest way to damage the engine, because they are not really used to it. Limit long distance driving in the first 1,500 km.

7. Let the gas tank run dry

Modern vehicles are designed to cool the fuel pump by the fuel in the tank. Continuously running the fuel tank low on fuel can cause the fuel pump to overheat and wear out.

In addition, the fuel supply system is a closed circuit system, if the fuel in the tank is empty, the pump will suck air into the fuel line, causing air leakage and loss of circulation. Moreover, the fuel pump is also an electric motor, leaving the motor idling for a long time will cause the pump to break down faster.

8.Changing engine oil too soon

Changing engine oil is necessary to maintain the smooth operation of the engine. However, not all oil changes are good for the engine; you need to change the oil at the right time, not too early or too late. The best time to change the oil according to the manufacturer's recommendation is 8,000 - 11,000km.

For vehicles that operate under harsh conditions, oil changes should be made sooner, about 4,000 - 5,000km.
