Does flooring the accelerator harm the car?
1 Answers
Occasionally flooring the accelerator does not harm the car, but prolonged flooring can be very damaging. It can cause engine component wear, increased carbon deposits, higher oil consumption, and other adverse effects. Prolonged flooring forces the engine to operate at high intensity for extended periods, increasing wear between internal components and shortening engine lifespan. It also raises temperatures, which can vaporize engine oil and allow it to seep into the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning. This increases oil consumption and may result in insufficient oil levels, compromising engine protection and lubrication. Additionally, prolonged flooring can easily increase carbon buildup in the engine due to incomplete combustion, leading to reduced engine power.
