Do you often neglect to take care of your car while driving?Sometimes, a small driving habit can affect the overall performance and longevity of a vehicle. Today, we're going to talk about this topic and hopefully draw your attention to some of the details of the driving process.
First of all, we need to understand that the engine is the heart of the car, and its health is directly related to the performance and life of the vehicle. Some people will turn off the engine and get out of the car immediately after arriving at the destination during the driving process, without performing other operations. This habit can cause damage to the engine.
Why?Because the engine generates a lot of heat when it is running, and this heat causes the engine components to expand. If the engine suddenly turns off when the temperature is very high, the parts will cool down rapidly, resulting in thermal expansion and contraction, causing unnecessary damage to the engine.
In addition to this, the oil inside the engine also plays a vital role. Motor oil can provide functions such as lubrication, reduced wear, keeping clean, and dissipating heat. If the engine stalls without adequate lubrication, it can lead to oil loss and the accumulation of dirt inside the engine, further exacerbating engine wear.
So, how do you protect your engine?In fact, the method is very simple, just let the engine continue to run for a period of time after arriving at the destination, until the engine temperature gradually decreases and the oil is fully lubricated. In this way, the engine is protected from thermal expansion, contraction and excessive wear. According to expert estimates, the formation of this habit can extend the service life of the engine by more than 5 years.
Of course, protecting the engine is more than just that. We also need to change the oil and filter regularly to keep the inside of the engine cleanAvoid using low-quality fuel;Pay attention to control the speed of the vehicle and avoid sudden acceleration and brakingChange the air and oil filters regularlyCheck your tires regularly for air pressure and wear. Attention to these details and maintenance can further enhance the performance and longevity of the vehicle.
