Does the Engine Start-Stop Technology Harm the Car?
1 Answers
Engine start-stop technology generally does not harm 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 for the engine when the car starts again. Here is a detailed introduction to the engine automatic start-stop technology: 1. Definition: Engine automatic start-stop technology is a system that can automatically control the engine shutdown and ignition, known as STOP&START in English, abbreviated as STT. Vehicles equipped with engine automatic start-stop technology will automatically shut down the engine when temporarily stopping during driving. When it is necessary to continue moving forward, the system will automatically restart the engine. Generally, the automatic start-stop function is enabled by default in vehicles, and the owner can choose to turn it off if not needed. 2. Advantages: The advantage of engine start-stop technology is fuel savings. Whether waiting at a red light or in traffic jams, the engine automatic start-stop technology can automatically shut off the engine when the car stops, thereby saving fuel. However, the cost of using the car may increase. Additionally, due to the frequent repeated start-stop of the engine, there is a higher demand for oil quality, leading to further increases in maintenance costs.
