Does Engine Start-Stop Damage the Engine?

[LeKathryn]

Engine start-stop does not damage the engine. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Long lifespan of the start-stop function: Modern engines equipped with start-stop systems and the start-stop mechanisms themselves are designed to endure hundreds of thousands of cycles, essentially lasting as long as the vehicle itself. 2. Start-stop function protects the engine: The start-stop feature only halts engine operation, but the oil circulation system remains active. This means that even when the engine isn't running, oil continues to flow internally, ensuring better lubrication upon restart and providing additional engine protection.
