Will driving 200 kilometers in S gear damage the car?

[LaEthan]

Driving 200 kilometers in S gear can cause some damage to the car. Here are the relevant details: S Gear: The S gear only delays upshifting without changing other working aspects, which inevitably increases the load on the transmission in a short time, accompanied by a rise in temperature, leading to accelerated wear. Therefore, it is advisable not to use the S gear for extended periods. In terms of fuel consumption, since the fuel injection volume increases at high RPMs, the fuel consumption in S gear mode is also much higher than in normal mode. Advantages: Using the S gear also has benefits for the vehicle. Cars that frequently drive in congested urban areas tend to accumulate more carbon deposits in the engine. Therefore, using the S gear appropriately at regular intervals helps remove carbon deposits from the engine, improving fuel economy and extending the engine's lifespan.
