How long does a car need to be parked before starting it?

You should start the car if it has been parked for half a month. Here’s some related information about starting the car: Function of the starting system: The starter converts the electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy to start the engine. The starting system is designed to transition a stationary engine into an operational state. An external force must first rotate the engine crankshaft, initiating the up-and-down movement of the pistons, allowing the cylinders to draw in the combustible air-fuel mixture before proceeding to the subsequent working cycles. Effects of not starting the car for a long time: When a car remains inactive for an extended period, most of the lubricating oil adhering to the components that require lubrication will flow back to the oil pan due to gravity. This reduces the lubrication effect on moving parts. Without the protective oil film, metal is prone to react with oxygen, forming an oxide layer, which increases friction and makes starting the engine difficult.
