What is the meaning of warming up the car?
1 Answers
Warming up the car means: In winter, when temperatures are relatively low, prolonged parking can cause various car components to lack lubrication from oil and engine oil, leading to dry friction. If the car is immediately started and driven normally, this dry friction can cause damage to the engine, making it very prone to failure. Before driving normally, the car should be warmed up by idling, allowing all components to be properly lubricated. The correct method for warming up the car: After starting the engine, wait 30 seconds to one minute before driving. During this time, avoid high-speed driving and maintain a low speed, keeping the engine speed below 3,000 to 3,500 RPM. Generally, it is best to keep it around 2,000 RPM. Otherwise, the intense wear on the engine and transmission may become irreversible.
