Does Engine Start-Stop Damage the Car?
1 Answers
Engine start-stop technology generally does not damage the car. Specific explanations are as follows: The start-stop function only stops the engine from working, but the oil system does not stop. This means that although the engine is not rotating, the oil will still flow inside the engine, ensuring better lubrication and protection for the engine when the car starts again. Introduction to Start-Stop Technology: 1. Engine Auto Start-Stop Technology: Engine auto start-stop technology is a system that can automatically control engine shutdown and ignition, known as STOP&START, abbreviated as STT. Vehicles equipped with this technology will automatically shut down the engine when temporarily stopping during driving. When it's time to move forward again, the system will automatically restart the engine. Generally, the auto start-stop function is enabled by default, but the owner can choose to turn it off if not needed. 2. Advantages: The main advantage of engine start-stop technology is fuel savings. Whether waiting at a red light or in traffic, the auto start-stop technology can automatically turn off the engine when stopped to save fuel. 3. Disadvantages: The cost of using the car increases. Cars with an auto start-stop system are several thousand dollars more expensive than those without. Additionally, due to the frequent starting and stopping of the engine, higher quality oil is required, further increasing maintenance costs.
