Is driving 5 kilometers considered a short trip?

[CadenDella]

Driving 5 kilometers is considered a short trip. Frequent short trips can be harmful to a car's engine. It is recommended to occasionally drive the car on highways to help remove carbon deposits inside the engine. Hazards of short trips: During frequent short trips, the temperature of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders remains relatively low, leading to increased carbon buildup inside the engine and accelerated wear and tear. With frequent short trips, gasoline that enters the oil pan through the cylinders cannot evaporate and mix with the engine oil under low-temperature conditions, causing the oil to become diluted. Once the oil is diluted to a certain extent, it can no longer provide optimal lubrication for the engine. Therefore, if you frequently take short trips, the interval for oil changes should be shortened accordingly. During short trips, engine oil cannot reach its optimal operating temperature. However, engine oil only provides the best lubrication when it reaches this temperature. If the oil temperature remains too low, prolonged engine operation can result in severe wear.
