Will the engine get flooded when driving in heavy rain?

Generally, the engine will not get flooded when driving in heavy rain. This is because the engine's air intake passes through the air filter, which is located in the engine compartment and is covered by the hood, preventing water from entering. Unless the hood is left open or the air filter is removed during rainy conditions, water is unlikely to enter the engine. If water does enter the engine, it can easily cause the engine to stall. If the engine continues to operate, water may enter the spark plugs, leading to engine stalling. Below are specific details about car maintenance: 1. The first maintenance mileage for a car: 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 run in, so the oil and oil filter should be replaced at 3,000 kilometers, and the oil, oil filter, and air filter should be replaced at 7,500 kilometers. After that, maintenance should be performed every 5,000 kilometers, and it is important to choose a reputable 4S shop for maintenance. 2. Different engines have different maintenance intervals: Cars come with naturally aspirated engines and turbocharged engines. For vehicles with turbocharged engines, maintenance should be performed every 5,000 to 7,000 kilometers, while for naturally aspirated engines, maintenance intervals can range from several thousand to 10,000 kilometers.
