How often should a car be started if it is not driven for a long time?

[JoshuaAnn]

It is recommended to start the car every two weeks if it is not driven for a long time, mainly for the following reasons: 1. Lubrication of various parts of the car: When the car is not started for a long time, most of the lubricating oil adhering to the parts that should be lubricated will flow back to the oil pan under the influence of gravity, reducing the lubrication effect on various moving parts. 2. Restarting: Without the protection of an oil film, metal is prone to react with oxygen to form an oxide film, increasing friction and making it difficult to start. 3. Battery life: If the battery does not receive a charge supplement for a long time, the sulfation process of the battery plates will intensify, increasing the internal resistance of the battery and reducing its lifespan. 4. Battery repairability: Due to the self-discharge effect of the battery, the terminal voltage of the battery will drop below 85%, making the battery irreparable.
