Does the Engine Auto Start-Stop Technology Damage the Car?

[DanteFitz]

Engine start-stop technology generally does not damage the car. 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 when the car starts again. Additional information: 1. The engine auto start-stop technology is a system that can automatically control the engine's shutdown and ignition, known as STOP&START, abbreviated as STT. Vehicles equipped with this technology will automatically shut off the engine when temporarily stopping during driving. When it's time to move forward again, the system will automatically restart the engine. Typically, the auto start-stop function is enabled by default, but drivers can choose to turn it off if they don't need it. 2. The advantage of engine start-stop technology is fuel efficiency. Whether waiting at a red light or stuck in traffic, the engine auto start-stop technology can automatically shut off the engine when the car stops, thereby saving fuel. However, the cost of vehicle usage may increase. Additionally, due to the frequent starting and stopping of the engine, higher-quality oil is required, leading to further increases in maintenance costs.
