How Many More Years Can Gasoline Cars Be Driven?

[LeMatteo]

Gasoline cars can still be driven for over thirty years. Factors affecting the service life of a car: Wear and corrosion; aging - non-metal components made of rubber and plastic materials will experience aging due to prolonged use and temperature effects, leading to a significant decrease in strength, becoming brittle or cracking, making them highly susceptible to damage or loss of function. Additionally, aging of electrical components can easily cause malfunctions in the electrical system; damage from traffic accidents. The economic service life of a car refers to the mileage and years of use after which a comprehensive economic analysis shows that continued use becomes economically unreasonable and costly. Methods to extend a car's lifespan: Regular oil changes; maintaining cleanliness and dryness inside the car; timely rust-proof maintenance for brakes, fuel supply, and other chassis components; regular car washing to prevent corrosion in unclean areas; promptly touching up scratches and repainting; ensuring all necessary lubricants are sufficient and clean.
