Does the car need to warm up when starting?
1 Answers
Car starting requires warming up because the engine temperature is low when just started, and the lubricating oil in various parts has not yet reached its position. Driving immediately will cause dry friction of mechanical parts and wear out components. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The warm-up time does not need to be too long. The criterion is that when the water temperature gauge pointer just starts to move, or the engine tachometer drops back to idle speed after starting, you can drive. It takes about one minute. 2. The engine needs lubrication to work. After being stationary for a long time, the lubricating oil will flow back into the oil pan. Therefore, it is necessary to idle first to allow the lubricating oil to fully lubricate all parts that need lubrication before adding load work, which is beneficial to prolonging the engine's life.
