Should I Use P Gear or N Gear for Long-Term Idling?

[StAthena]

It is best to use P gear for long-term idling. When the car is parked and idling with no intention of driving in the short term, using P gear is more appropriate. P gear itself is the parking gear; while the transmission stops operating, the internal locking mechanism of the transmission locks the output shaft, preventing the wheels from rotating. Precautions for using P gear: 1. No towing: When in P gear, the drive shaft is mechanically locked, and towing is not possible. If towing is required, shift to N gear or lift the drive wheels off the ground first, then release the handbrake to tow the non-drive wheels. 2. Push to unlock: If the vehicle cannot be shifted out of P gear, you can manually push the car slightly back and forth to separate the tightly engaged parking pawl and output gear inside the transmission, after which it will be easy to shift P gear to other gears.
