Generally speaking, it is not a big problem if a car is not started within one month of parking (unless the car is old or in poor condition). Occasionally, it does not have much impact, but if it happens frequently, it will have a significant impact on the car, easily leading to battery depletion and inability to start. The following are the hazards of long-term parking of a car: 1. Corrosiveness: If the engine is not running for a long time, the engine oil has certain corrosive properties that greatly affect metal components. Over time, the oil will precipitate, causing excessive carbon deposits in the engine; 2. Reduced tire lifespan: Rubber parts such as tires may develop small cracks, reducing their lifespan, and the muffler may also deteriorate faster. A battery with low charge for a long time will also have a reduced lifespan. In short, it is not recommended to park the car for a long time without starting it.
