It is necessary to warm up the car after starting it in winter. Driving without warming up the car in winter can cause wear and tear on various parts of the car's engine, transmission, and other engine components, leading to a shortened lifespan; it also increases the fuel consumption of the engine, making it easier for carbon deposits to form inside the engine. Reasons for warming up the car in winter: After the car has been parked for a long time, the engine oil inside the engine flows back into the oil pan at the bottom of the engine; before the engine reaches its operating temperature, the fuel supply system, due to the low temperature, cannot effectively vaporize the gasoline completely; in a cold engine, the gear oil flows to the lower part of the transmission. Specific process for warming up the car in winter: Start the car for 30 seconds to one minute, allowing the engine's water temperature to reach the normal temperature, then you can drive. However, do not drive at high speeds at this time; maintain a low speed and do not exceed 2000 RPM. While driving at low speed, observe the water temperature gauge. If it rises slightly, you can appropriately shift to a higher gear and proceed. After driving about one kilometer, the car will be fully warmed up, and you can then drive normally.
