Can an Automatic Car Be Put in Neutral While Driving?

[MacKira]

An automatic car should not be put in neutral while driving for the following reasons: 1. When idling, the engine's oil pressure output is low, resulting in insufficient lubrication supply, which can easily lead to poor lubrication and severe wear of components such as the hydraulic directional valve and planetary gears. 2. Excessive heat generation can cause oil carbonization, forming sludge that blocks oil passages, leading to insufficient oil supply and poor lubrication after normal operation. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The gear positions are as follows: 1. P (Park); 2. R (Reverse); 3. N (Neutral); 4. D (Drive); 5. S (Sport Mode); 6. L (Low Gear).
