Is Running Continuously for 12 Hours Harmful to the Car?

[EvelynLee]

It depends on the condition of the car, but modern car engines generally have good sustainable working power. If physical strength permits, it is recommended to turn off the engine every 4 hours of driving. Here are some precautions for long-distance driving: Avoid sudden braking: In winter driving, you may encounter icy and slippery roads. In such cases, rely on gears and engine braking to slow down the vehicle instead of applying sudden brakes. Avoid risky water crossings: When encountering flooded roads while traveling, assess the water depth and the condition of the road beneath before proceeding. For sedans, it is not advisable to attempt crossing if the water depth exceeds half the height of the car tires.
