How to protect the automobile engine?

We know that the engine is the heart of a car. Only by taking good care of the engine and keeping it in good condition can we keep the car in good condition. However, many people don't know how to protect the engine, and they will inadvertently have some small habits that will damage the engine. What habits will harm the engine?

First of all, it is not to do maintenance according to the prescribed cycle. The vehicle maintenance interval depends on the type of oil used. Mineral oil is 5000 kilometers or half a year, semi-synthetic engine oil is 7500 kilometers or eight months, and synthetic engine oil is 1 year or 1 000 kilometers. If the mileage and time here reach any conditions, it is necessary to do maintenance, because after one o'clock, the oil will become dirty and oxidized, which will not protect the engine. If it exceeds a long time, it may damage the engine.

There is also a kind of gasoline suitable for the compression ratio of your engine. Many people think that the higher the gasoline label, the better. Actually, that's not what it means. The gasoline label matches the compression ratio of the engine. The same instruction manual or the attachment of the fuel tank cover will indicate the recommended oil label, so just add it according to the recommended value. Regarding vehicle refueling, in fact, the most important thing is that, just like engine oil, you must go to a large regular gas station to refuel, so as to ensure the quality of oil products. When gasoline containing more impurities is often added, it is easy to produce carbon deposit.

One more thing, always pay attention to antifreeze. Antifreeze is not only used to prevent freezing in winter, but also has the function of cooling, so as long as the vehicle works, antifreeze is playing a role. Generally, it needs to be replaced every two years when there is no shortage, because antifreeze will also expire.

Never warm up the car or let it idle for too long. In fact, it is easy to hurt the engine. When the cold car is driving directly, the engine wear increases, and it is easy to produce carbon deposition if the idle time is too long. We usually stay for about 20 seconds after starting, then drive slowly at a low speed, and then drive normally after the water temperature comes up.

The above are the main behaviors that may harm the engine of our vehicle. For engine maintenance, we should regularly go to 4S shops or more formal and qualified repair shops for maintenance. We should not buy some spare parts from unknown sources or go to small gas stations to refuel. Usually, we can use some fuel treasures to alleviate the generation of carbon deposits. Besides, we should try to keep driving at a constant speed without stepping on the accelerator, which can better protect our engine.
