How Often Should a Car Be Started?
1 Answers
A car should be started every fifteen days, and the engine should run for more than half an hour. Precautions to take when a car is parked for a long time include: 1. Clean and maintain the car before parking; 2. Park the car in a garage or, if possible, in a dry and shaded area; 3. Regularly check the tire pressure and inflate them promptly if the pressure is insufficient, paying attention to tire aging; 4. Before parking the car, carefully inspect the interior and remove any food, beverages, or food packaging waste. The effects of long-term parking on a car include: 1. Premature failure and aging of oil seals, leading to oil leaks; 2. Shortened battery life; 3. Deformation of tires at the contact points due to pressure; 4. Malfunction of electronic components; 5. Oxidation and corrosion of engine parts by oil; 6. Aging of the braking system.
