Is There Any Impact If Driving Once Every 10 Days?

[JocelynDella]

Driving once every 10 days does have an impact. Vehicles that remain idle for extended periods are prone to oil leaks. Effects of long-term vehicle inactivity: When a vehicle is parked for a long time, the contact force around the oil seal becomes uneven. The direction with greater force causes more deformation of the oil seal. The longer the vehicle remains inactive, the harder it is for the deformation to recover, eventually leading to permanent deformation of the oil seal, which makes oil leaks highly likely. Characteristics of lead-acid batteries: Automobiles typically use lead-acid batteries, which are characterized by self-discharge once the vehicle is inactive. Under normal conditions, the battery's capacity can decrease by more than 1% per day due to self-discharge. More critically, prolonged self-discharge leads to the formation of sulfides on the battery plates, affecting the recharge efficiency and ultimately causing premature battery failure.
