In recent times, several cold waves have swept the country again and again, adding a lot of realism to the arrival of winter. The reduction in temperature has also made many car owners have new troubles: they usually travel relatively close, the car can not drive for a long time throughout the day, and often the situation that the water temperature of the place has not even reached the middle value. Therefore, many car owners can't help but worry that after a long period of operation, it will not cause damage to the car.
Generally speaking, after entering the winter, the owners must carry out a hot car operation before driving, on the one hand, to make the engine re-active, on the other hand, to increase the temperature inside the car, providing a better driving experience for the owners. However, some car owners are more anxious, the time is also more tense, often not waiting for the car to finish the direct foot on the accelerator to step out, in the long run, the damage to the car is even higher than those who often need to travel long distances.
This is because in the case of relatively low temperatures, the oil in the engine will flow into the oil pan in the lower part of the engine after a long period of parking. When the owner starts the car, a large part of the engine is not protected by oil, and it takes a while to run to re-flow the oil through the oil pump and lubricate the pistons and connecting rods of the engine. Therefore, cold car start will cause some damage to the engine and reduce the service life of the engine.
Therefore, for car owners who often need short trips and do not like to heat up in advance, their cars are likely to be inferior to the taxis that run every day on the road. So will this wear and tear have an impact on our subsequent use of the car, so that our car experience will decline sharply?
For the vast majority of private cars, the mileage traveled all year round is about 10,000 kilometers, and more may reach 20,000 kilometers. As far as the current automobile manufacturing industry and technology are concerned, the wear resistance of various parts inside the car is relatively reliable, and the vast majority of car owners will choose a fully synthetic oil with better effect and more durable when maintaining the car. Therefore, this level of wear and tear is not as serious as we think for the engine of the car, and it will not affect the driving experience in the case of less than 300,000 kilometers of driving.
That is to say, in the case that the owner does not need a high-intensity, long-distance car, even if the cold car starts, it will not make the car owners unacceptable. As long as the maintenance of a car is timely enough, the impact of this wear on the owner is very small, and when the owner can really feel the impact of this wear, the car has basically been used for more than ten years, and it is generally time to replace.
So the owners actually don't need to care too much about whether to heat the car before driving in winter, even if the cold car starts will not have a great impact on themselves, but the hot car can improve the temperature in the car after all, improve the driving experience of the owners, so the vast majority of car owners will basically choose to heat the car before traveling.
summary:
For all car owners, in addition to driving in winter to warm up the car in advance, you should also pay attention to checking the antifreeze of the car, replacing the anti-slip tire for the car, and also pay attention to checking the tire pressure to avoid long-term low-pressure driving.
