Bad habits that cause cars to deteriorate quickly
Many seemingly harmless habits of drivers cause cars to quickly deteriorate and break down, resulting in costly repairs.
Go hard when the gas tank is empty
Gasoline is like a “drink” that provides the vehicle with the ability to function normally. However, when driving, many drivers often ignore the fuel level indicator light and try to rush to their destination. This is a bad habit that needs to be stopped immediately.

If the fuel level is below the safety threshold and you continue to run without refilling, it will cause damage to parts such as the joints, pumps and fuel injectors in the engine. Even the situation of letting the car stall due to running out of fuel many times can damage the radiator and the replacement cost is not small.
Start the engine before it's warmed up and it's running.
This habit often happens to car drivers, especially those who are always in a hurry and need to get there on time.
However, when you just turn on the key, start the engine and drive the car immediately, it is no different than forcing the engine to operate in a forced state. If this happens for a long time, the internal engine parts will be significantly worn out.
Carrying unnecessary bulky items
Many families often have the habit of carrying bulky items in their cars. For a long time, there was no place to put them, so when they were ready for other trips, they left them in the car. With this habit, the weight of the car will increase significantly, the engine will have to work harder, fuel consumption will be higher, the shock absorber system and the brake system will also have to work harder, and the items in the car will also affect the interior.
Limit carrying unnecessary items. If you do carry items, put them down immediately after you're done. Don't carry them continuously because cars are not trucks designed to carry bulky items.
sudden braking
Driving at high speed or being careless when participating in traffic forces you to brake suddenly, brake suddenly, and step on the brake pedal hard. This is not only dangerous for you but also greatly affects the braking system. The brake pads will wear out quickly, and the brakes will no longer be as sensitive as before.
Drive at a reasonable speed, in the inner city you must pay attention to other vehicles, pay attention to traffic lights to stop at the right time.
Some other causes
The habit of using water to clean the engine will damage the electrical systems in the car. In the long run, this is the cause of electrical system short circuits, even fire and explosion.
A suitable oil for each type of engine will help the vehicle operate at its best efficiency. On the contrary, when you use a type of oil that is not specialized for your vehicle, you will indirectly cause gradual wear and tear, even breaking the operating values that the manufacturer gives, making the engine weaker and weaker quickly.
