Five major causes of engine wear and their solutions Part-2

2024-01-25

4、 Cold start dry friction
After the engine stops running for a period of time, lubricating oil will flow back to the oil pan. When restarting the engine at this time, as the lubricating oil has not yet reached all lubrication parts, periodic dry friction loss of lubrication will occur in a short period of time, leading to severe engine wear.
Solution:
Regularly check the oil level: During each maintenance, check if the oil level is normal. If the oil level is too low, it should be replenished in a timely manner. At the same time, car owners should also develop the habit of regularly checking the oil level in order to detect problems in a timely manner.
Use oil with appropriate viscosity: Car owners should choose the appropriate oil viscosity according to the requirements of their vehicle model. Oil with appropriate viscosity can form a good oil film on the friction surface, reducing the occurrence of dry friction. Meanwhile, it is important to avoid using counterfeit and inferior engine oil.



5、 Normal wear and tear
When the engine is running normally, friction and wear will occur between various components. This is inevitable, but the wear rate can be slowed down through reasonable maintenance.
Solution:
Regular oil and oil filter replacement: Oil and oil filter are important components of the engine's lubrication system. Regularly changing the oil and oil filter can ensure the normal operation of the lubrication system and reduce engine wear. It is recommended that car owners regularly replace the oil and oil filter according to the regulations in the vehicle maintenance manual.
Maintaining an appropriate engine temperature: The normal operating temperature of the engine is crucial for reducing wear. Car owners should avoid prolonged driving in high temperature environments and pay attention to checking if the coolant is sufficient. If the coolant is insufficient, it should be replenished in a timely manner.
Reasonable use of vehicles: Avoid bad driving habits such as frequent starting and sudden acceleration, which can increase engine load and exacerbate wear and tear. It is recommended that car owners develop a habit of smooth driving to reduce the impact on the engine.
Regular engine inspection: Regularly inspect the engine, including checking parameters such as cylinder pressure and oil pressure, as well as observing the wear of various components. If any abnormal situations are found, they should be repaired promptly.
The wear and tear of the engine is an inevitable process, but through reasonable maintenance and upkeep, the service life of the engine can be extended. Car owners should pay attention to the five major reasons mentioned above and take corresponding solutions to ensure the normal operation of the engine. At the same time, car owners should also develop good driving habits and regularly inspect and maintain the engine to maintain its optimal condition. Under proper maintenance and upkeep, the engine will be able to provide owners with a more stable and safe driving experience.
