When starting, the driver should wait for the engine to warm up before starting to move.

Therefore, the experience of using a car is always to wait for the engine to warm up before starting to drive, regardless of the type of car and engine. For new cars, warming up only takes about 1 minute, and for older cars, 3-5 minutes is the appropriate time.

Not changing oil regularly

According to manufacturers, motorbikes should have their oil changed after a journey of 1,500 to 2,000 km, along with regular engine cleaning and vacuuming. For cars, popular car manufacturers recommend changing engine oil after the first 1,000 km and the next 5,000 km. Supercars like Bentley and Lamborghini should have their oil changed every 10,000 km.

To easily remember, users can use reminder applications on mobile phones or take notes in a small notebook in the trunk of the car.

In developed countries, the speed of movement is very high, even in the city. Therefore, on average, a car can travel about 60 - 80km per hour. However, in crowded urban conditions in Vietnam, the average speed is only about 15 - 20km/h. Thus, in the same operating time, a car in Hanoi can only travel 1/3 of the distance compared to a car in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) or Vienna (Austria).

Because of these differences in usage conditions, the frequency of engine oil changes needs to be adjusted and is best understood by the car owner. A car that regularly travels in the city may need to change its oil after about 4,000 - 5,000km, while cars that frequently travel on the highway may need to change their oil more frequently.

Engine failure due to wrong fuel

This incident is not common, but there are some famous cases of misfueling with serious consequences in the past few years.

Many people wonder, should we wash the engine? Does this have any effect or harm?

After a period of use, dirt and grease on the car can cause rust, poor heat dissipation, reduced engine efficiency and unstable operation. According to some auto experts, cleaning the engine compartment and engine will increase the efficiency of the cooling process, prevent dirt and rust. For old cars, it is necessary to perform the cleaning process because by washing the engine, experts will help detect some unusual damage that you cannot foresee.

Washing the engine of new and cheap used cars is necessary but should not be done often and special attention must be paid to the electrical system, horn...

Currently, there are car washing services on the market using water, specialized chemicals and gasoline. Washing the car engine using the above methods requires the mechanic to be careful and experienced. If using poor quality detergents, it can corrode the engine, electrical wires, and endanger the car./.
