Will the Engine Get Flooded When Driving in Heavy Rain?
1 Answers
Driving in heavy rain will not flood the engine. This is because the engine's air intake passes through the air filter, which is located in the engine compartment and is protected by the hood, preventing water from entering. Unless the hood is left open or the air filter is removed during rainy conditions, water cannot enter. If water does enter the engine, it can easily cause the engine to stall. If the engine does not stop running, water may enter the spark plugs, leading to engine failure. Below are specific details about car maintenance: 1. Mileage for the first car maintenance: New cars should undergo their first maintenance at 3 months or 3,000 kilometers. During the initial break-in period, many parts of the car need to be properly worn in. Therefore, the engine oil and oil filter should be replaced at 3,000 kilometers, the engine oil, oil filter, and air filter at 7,500 kilometers, and then maintenance should be performed every 5,000 kilometers. It is also important to choose an authorized 4S shop for maintenance. 2. Different engines require different maintenance intervals: Cars have naturally aspirated engines and turbocharged engines. For vehicles with turbocharged engines, maintenance is required every 5,000 to 7,000 kilometers, while for naturally aspirated engines, maintenance intervals range from several thousand to 10,000 kilometers.
