Do Cars Need to Warm Up in Summer?
1 Answers
Cars do need to warm up in summer. Here are the reasons why warming up is necessary and the methods for warming up a car: Reasons why warming up is necessary: When the engine is first started, its temperature is low, and the lubricating oil has not yet reached all parts. Driving immediately can cause dry friction between components, leading to wear and tear. However, the warm-up time does not need to be too long. The standard for determining when the car is ready is when the water temperature gauge needle starts to move, or when the engine tachometer drops back to idle speed after starting, which takes about a minute. It is recommended that drivers start slowly for the first 2 kilometers before accelerating normally. Methods for warming up a car: Driving to warm up the car is the best method, as it allows the lubrication and cooling systems to activate naturally during the driving process. Pay attention to the tachometer: after starting the car, the engine speed will increase, and the engine will automatically increase the fuel injection concentration. Wait until the speed stabilizes before starting to drive.
