Frequent oil changes have no negative impact on the engine. Engine oil is an essential lubricant that ensures the normal operation of the engine. Its specific functions include lubricating metal components, reducing friction between parts, dissipating the immense heat generated during engine operation, cleaning fine metal debris caused by wear, as well as providing sealing, shock absorption, and rust prevention. The reasons for a significant increase in engine oil consumption are as follows: 1. Natural wear. When the valve oil seal is damaged, the phenomenon of oil burning becomes more apparent. 2. Improper maintenance. Exceeding the recommended mileage without maintenance (i.e., delaying maintenance). If the oil is too dirty, the impurities in the oil can accelerate the wear of the engine cylinders. Excessive oil addition.

How Much Fuel Does Idling for One Hour Consume?

For an ordinary family car, idling for one hour typically consumes less than one liter of fuel, but this depends on specific conditions. Idling fuel consumption under different conditions: If the engine starts from a cold state, continuous idling for one hour will result in higher fuel consumption. Conversely, if the engine is already warmed up, idling for one hour will consume less fuel. However, during summer, using air conditioning increases the engine's load, leading to higher fuel consumption when idling for an hour with the AC on. Therefore, the exact fuel consumption during idling is influenced by many factors, including engine displacement. Estimated fuel consumption for one hour of idling: For a warmed-up engine, a 1.5L engine typically injects about 14 milligrams of fuel per cycle. Assuming an idle speed of 800 RPM, and considering that a four-stroke engine completes one cycle every two revolutions, 800 RPM idle speed equals 400 cycles per minute, or 400 fuel injections per minute. This results in a fuel injection rate of 5.60 grams per minute, leading to an hourly fuel consumption of approximately 340 grams (0.34 kilograms).

Should You Turn Off the Engine When Stuck in Traffic for One or Two Minutes?

You do not need to turn off the engine when stuck in traffic for one or two minutes. Reasons for not turning off the engine in traffic: Since the traffic queue may move forward at any time, restarting after turning off the engine is equivalent to adding an extra step, which can easily cause waiting and honking from vehicles behind, reducing road traffic efficiency. For short-term traffic jams, manual transmission vehicles are recommended to shift into neutral and engage the handbrake, while automatic transmission vehicles are advised to shift into N gear and engage the handbrake. Advantages of turning off the engine in traffic: It can reduce braking, making it both safer and more fuel-efficient. If you are too close to the car in front, not only is a rear-end collision more likely, but frequent starting and stopping also increases fuel consumption. If you encounter prolonged traffic congestion, it is recommended to turn off the engine to avoid prolonged idling, which can also reduce fuel consumption and exhaust pollution.
