What are the precautions for idle cars?
1 Answers
During the period when a car is idle, the following precautions should be taken: First, pay attention to keeping the cab dry: because there are many metal parts and electrical appliances in the cab. If the cab is relatively humid, it is easy to corrode metal parts and damage electrical components. Second, pay attention to checking the battery: because most cars use lead-acid batteries, which will self-discharge even when the car is parked. Under normal conditions, the self-discharge of the battery can reduce the capacity by more than 1% per day and night. More seriously, after long-term self-discharge, sulfides will form on the surface of the battery plates, affecting the recharging effect of the battery, and may eventually lead to premature scrapping of the battery. Third, pay attention to the maintenance of engine oil and oil filter: it is necessary to replace the engine oil and filter element with new ones, because the old oil contains acids and moisture generated by combustion, which can erode the interior of the engine. After changing the oil, the engine needs to run for a period of time to circulate the new oil to all parts of the engine.
