After starting the vehicle, let it idle for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the engine coolant to reach normal operating temperature before driving. Below are the functions of warming up the car: Lubrication: After the car has been parked for an extended period, the engine oil flows back into the oil pan, leaving the upper part of the engine in a state of insufficient lubrication. When the engine is cold, the gear oil flows to the lower part of the transmission. Only when the car is moving does the operation of the gears bring up the gear oil from the bottom. Warming up the car serves a lubricating function. Reaching operating temperature: When the engine has not reached its operating temperature, the fuel supply system, due to the low temperature, cannot effectively vaporize the gasoline completely.

How Many Months Does a New Car Take to Be Considered a Stock Car?

New cars that have been in stock for 3 months are considered stock cars. Stock Cars: In fact, there is no clear legal definition for so-called "stock cars," but in the automotive sales industry, there is indeed a term called "stock cars," which generally refers to cars that have been in stock for more than three months without being sold. Commercial Vehicles: As a commodity, cars are large in size, expensive, and have high storage costs, while also occupying a significant amount of dealers' capital. Therefore, dealers generally do not allow commercial vehicles to remain in stock for extended periods. However, there are indeed many cars in the market that have been in stock for more than three months. As for quality issues, they still need to be judged based on the actual vehicle.
