New tyres have a thin oily coating, until this wears off, vehicle handling will feel different, especially when driving in wet weather. Motorists should avoid harsh acceleration and heavy braking when driving a new car Motorists driving a new diesel car shouldn’t let the vehicle’s engine speed exceed 3000 rpm however should make sure the revs regularly reach this limit Motorists driving a new petrol engine should stick to a 3000 rpm limit for the first 500-600 miles and then increase the upper limit to around 4000 rpm. Again, revs should regularly reach this limit. Motorists driving a new vehicle should avoid labouring the car’s engine – by changing up too early for example Motorists driving a new vehicle should check the car’s oil and coolant levels (Click here to view our ‘AA Rescue Guide to checking your coolant’) at least once a week as they don't know how much oil it will use.  Motorists driving a new car should note that oil consumption can be high for the first 6000 miles or so but should slow, particularly if the car's been treated gently in the early days. After the first 1000 miles, motorists can gradually use more of the car's performance.</p></blockquote><p></p>
