Does driving a car once a month have any impact on the vehicle?

[DiSilas]

Driving a car once a month has no short-term impact on the vehicle. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Effective protection: It allows the engine oil to provide effective anti-corrosion protection for engine components. If left unused for too long, it may lead to corrosion of engine parts, affecting the engine's lifespan. 2. Lubrication and protection: It ensures effective lubrication and protection for the moving parts of the chassis, such as bearings, preventing rust. 3. Precautions: If the car is parked for too long, the surfaces of engine components may dry out, losing the protective oil film. Restarting the engine under such conditions will increase friction between parts, affecting the vehicle's lifespan. Under normal usage, a car can last up to 600,000 kilometers. However, if it is frequently unused or parked, its lifespan may be reduced to 400,000 kilometers.
