The use of fuel vehicles has always been a hot topic among car owners. Some people feel that driving short distances every day is beneficial and harmless to the car; Others believe that parking for a long time is the best way to protect your car. However, the truth is often unexpected.

According to experts, short-distance driving, especially only about 8 kilometers per day, is actually quite harmful to fuel vehicles. With each cold start, the engine needs to run at low temperatures, when the oil has not yet flowed sufficiently, friction between components increases, and the rate of wear is 0 to 0 times higher than normal temperatures. This kind of frequent cold start is undoubtedly a kind of "torture" for the engine.

However, long-term parking is not a wise move. Although the vehicle is stationary, the battery is silently discharged. Generally speaking, the battery will run out of power within a month or two. At that time, the owner will face the embarrassing situation of starting difficulties, and even need to spend a lot of rescue costs. Vehicles that have been parked for a long time are also prone to problems with their tires. Due to the weight of a certain part of the body for a long time, the tire is easy to deform, which in turn affects driving safety.

In addition to batteries and tires, vehicles parked for a long time also face the problem of deterioration of oil such as engine oil and brake fluid. Long-term oil precipitation will lose its lubricating effect and aggravate engine wear; If the brake fluid is not changed for a long time, it will affect the braking performance and pose a serious threat to driving safety. In contrast, although short-distance driving every day causes some damage to vehicles, the hidden dangers caused by long-term parking are more serious.

So, how do you balance the relationship between vehicle use and protection? Experts recommend that car owners should take long drives at least once a week to allow the engine to warm up enough and burn off carbon deposits. At the same time, pay attention to the status of the battery, once you find that it is difficult to start or the battery indicator light is on, you should check or replace the battery immediately. It is also essential to regularly clean up carbon deposits, check the condition of tires, and change fluids such as engine oil and brake fluid.

In order to better protect their car, there are some additional measures that car owners can take. For example, start the vehicle every half a month or a month to let the battery charge; Regularly check the tire pressure and wear, adjust or replace it in time; and the use of high-quality lubricants and brake fluids to extend the life of the vehicle.

For fuel vehicles, there are pros and cons to short-distance driving and long-term parking every day. Owners should choose the use reasonably according to the actual situation, and take necessary maintenance measures to ensure that the vehicle is always in good working condition.
