How Long Can a Starter Last?

[McLilah]

A starter can typically last around 100,000 kilometers. The starter consists of a DC motor, transmission mechanism, and electromagnetic switch. Precautions for using the starter include: 1. Before starting, ensure the transmission is in neutral; 2. Each time the starter is engaged, it should not exceed 5 seconds, with intervals of at least 15 seconds between attempts; 3. Once the engine starts, immediately release the ignition switch to cut off the starter and stop its operation; 4. After the engine starts, promptly turn the key back to allow the starter's drive pinion to disengage, reducing unnecessary wear; 5. If a grinding noise occurs during startup, stop immediately and wait for the starter to stabilize before trying again; 6. If the engine fails to start after three consecutive attempts, check for possible engine faults.
