Does the Engine Start-Stop Function Damage the Engine?
1 Answers
Engine start-stop function does not damage the engine. Most wear and tear on car engines comes from the instantaneous wear during cold starts. Generally speaking, the engine interior relies on oil film lubrication. The automatic start-stop duration is very short, and the oil pumped by the oil pump that adheres to the inner surface of the engine cylinder does not completely flow back, leaving a significant amount of oil on the components. Under hot start conditions, it does not have any impact on the engine. Below is an introduction to the engine auto start-stop function: 1. Currently, the vast majority of automobile manufacturers have conducted sufficient endurance tests when introducing the automatic start-stop device, including the number of switches for the engine ignition switch, starter, and other related components, all of which are well below the theoretical lifespan value. Therefore, the engine start-stop device will not damage the vehicle. 2. At the same time, many manufacturers have also set up a manual shutdown function. Owners who are genuinely concerned can manually turn it off.
