How often should you start a car that is not driven for a long time?

[VonCecilia]

A car that is not driven for a week should be started once to ensure the proper functioning of various fluids in the engine and the car battery. If a car is parked for an extended period without being driven, it can have adverse effects on various components and performance. Before driving a long-term parked vehicle again, the following checks should be performed: 1. Check if the battery is low on charge; 2. Inspect the tires for low pressure and whether the rims are deformed; 3. Verify the fuel level in the tank. An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, first developed in the UK. It can refer to both power-generating devices and the entire machine, including the power unit. Types of engines include internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, electric motors, etc.
