How Often Must a Motor Vehicle Be Driven?
1 Answers
Motor vehicles should be driven at least once every two weeks to provide some maintenance benefits and effectively check the condition of various components. Precautions for long-term vehicle storage include: 1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface to prevent tire compression and wear, or improper functioning of fluids due to imbalance; 2. After starting the car, warm it up for about 10 minutes to allow full lubrication of engine components for proper operation. Maintenance methods for long-term vehicle storage are: 1. If the car is not driven for an extended period, start it every one or two weeks to prevent engine issues; 2. Before long-term storage, clean the exterior and interior thoroughly, as dirt left on the paint for too long can damage it; 3. Keep the battery fully charged and perform regular checks and maintenance to prevent battery discharge.
