How to Avoid Cold Start in Cars?

[Peeta]

Cold start in cars is unavoidable, and 99% of engine wear occurs at the moment of cold start. During a cold start, the engine oil is still in the oil pan, and the engine temperature is relatively low. At the instant of cold start, the engine operates without oil lubrication, resulting in dry friction. Within seconds after the engine starts, the oil quickly reaches all necessary lubrication points and forms an oil film, providing lubrication to the engine. The main reason for cold start difficulty is the low engine temperature. To prevent this, it is essential to keep the engine warm and avoid direct cold wind exposure to the engine compartment. A simple and effective method is to park the car facing a building in winter, using the structure to block cold winds and prevent excessive cooling of the engine.
