[Car owner's home maintenance knowledge]Did you build it? Buying a car and not driving it is tantamount to harming the car and yourself.How long does the car stop running have damage to the life of the car? There are different opinions at home and abroad.Americans think that if a car is not used for a week, it is called"Stop the car". Generally speaking, there are two kinds ofOne is 15 days without being called "stopping the car";The other is called "suspended car" if it is not used for 3 months. Long-term parking of the car will cause oxidation and deterioration of engine oil, brake fluid, antifreeze, and electrolyte, deformation of tires and hubs, and unexpected problems such as insect pests and rats, so try not to stop the car for a long time.
What are the dangers of parking a car
1. Oil seal aging
When the vehicle is stopped, the contact force around the oil seal is always uneven. In the direction of large force, the oil seal variable will be large; the longer the vehicle is stopped, the variable will be more difficult to recover until the oil seal is permanently deformed, which is very easy to leak oil.
2. Engine oil oxidation and corrosion parts

In the direction of large force, the oil seal variable will be large; the longer the vehicle is stopped, the variable will be more difficult to recover until the oil seal is permanently deformed, which is very easy to leak oil.
2. Engine oil oxidation and corrosion parts
If the vehicle is stopped for a long time, the phenomenon of oil oxidation will be very serious. After the oil is oxidized, first, the lubricating effect will become poor, and second, some acidic substances will also cause corrosion to the machine parts. The longer the vehicle is idle, the worse the deterioration. When the engine is started again, dry friction or semi-dry friction will be formed between the cylinder and the piston, which will accelerate the wear of the parts, and the starting resistance will increase greatly, making it difficult to start.
3. The battery is scrapped ahead of time
Nowadays, lead-acid batteries are generally used in automobiles, which are characterized by self-discharge once the car stops. Under normal conditions, the self-discharge of the battery every day and night can reduce the capacity by more than 1%. What is more serious is that after long-term self-discharge of the battery, sulfides are produced on the surface of the pole plate, which affects the recharging effect of the battery, and eventually causes the battery to be scrapped in advance.
4. Tire deformation
After the car is stopped, the weight of the car is borne by the parts where the four tires touch the ground, causing the contact parts to shrink and deform under pressure. The longer the car is parked, the harder it is to recover the deformed part, which will change the weight distribution around the tire, make the rolling radius uneven, and cause the tire to be unbalanced. Once the car enters high-speed driving, body buffeting will occur, which can accelerate the wear of the tires and bring hidden dangers to driving safety.
5. Failure of electronic components
The electronic components and connectors on the car have a common feature, that is, they must be waterproof, moisture-proof and corrosion-proof, otherwise they will cause malfunctions. For electronic components or plug-in connectors of a stopped vehicle, the possibility of moisture is greatly increased, and the longer the stop time, the higher the probability of failure.
