Dear riders, hello everyone! Today we are going to put on a topic that many old drivers are also arguing about - whether you need to warm up the car before driving, and how to warm up the car scientifically. Imagine that your car is like a baby bear who has just woken up from hibernation, and the lubricant of all parts of the body is still asleep, and starting the engine at this time is like letting the baby bear start running immediately, which will inevitably cause "joint wear" due to insufficient lubrication. Therefore, the importance of a hot car is like the gentle slap that wakes up a baby bear, so that the various components in the engine are fully lubricated and in optimal working condition.
However, don't think that a hot car is just starting the engine and waiting in place for a long time, like waiting for the bus anxiously and helplessly. According to industry experts, most models actually only need a short 30 seconds to 1 minute to warm up the car is enough, which is shorter than the time you swipe a Douyin! If you love it too much, idling for a long time to warm up the car, it will not only make the fuel become "useless", but also accelerate the formation of carbon deposits, which will invisibly damage the health of the engine.
So, the question is, is it better to hang the P or N gear when the car is hot? It's like asking you if it's better to stand or sit when you wake up early to stretch. In fact, both methods can achieve the effect of hot car, but for safety and to reduce mechanical wear, many professionals recommend using N gear with handbrake to warm up, which can avoid the vehicle moving due to misoperation, and also reduce the pressure on the gearbox.
Overall, hot cars are a science, and the right way to warm up cars will not only ensure the good operation of the engine, but also effectively extend its service life without wasting too much fuel and time. So, the next time you're ready to start your car, keep this tip in mind: a short hot car and a quick start will protect your car and save resources.
