How to Extend the Lifespan of a Car?
1 Answers
Methods to extend the lifespan of a car are as follows: 1. Avoid high gear at low speeds: Many manual transmission drivers tend to shift gears early, even before reaching 1500 RPM. This habit not only reduces vehicle power but also increases engine carbon buildup and fuel consumption. 2. Avoid turning the steering wheel while stationary: Turning the wheel while stationary increases tire wear and puts several times more load on the hydraulic power steering pump, reducing its lifespan. It's best to turn the wheel while the vehicle is moving slowly. 3. Avoid using electronic devices after turning off the engine: A car is equipped with a 12V battery that relies on continuous charging while driving. However, when the engine is off, the battery is not being charged. Over time, the battery will drain, making it impossible to start the vehicle. 4. Avoid driving over speed bumps with only one side of the wheels: Many car owners believe that driving over speed bumps with only one side of the wheels reduces the impact by half. However, this is incorrect and can damage the suspension system and wheel alignment angles.
