It is very hot in summer. Do you need to stop to have a rest after a long drive?

With the increasingly hot weather, the use of cars has become a very concerned issue. You may have noticed that it is very hot now. If you travel at high speed, people standing near the car will obviously feel that the front of the car is very hot. In that case, if you think about it, the engine must be hotter. In fact, this is also a very normal situation. When driving at high speed for a long time, the engine speed is so high that it will definitely generate a lot of heat. Can the car stand this situation? In summer, cars run at high speed for too long. Should we stop and have a rest?

Considering that many car owners are worried about this, let's analyze this problem in detail. Let's talk about the structure of the engine first. No matter what kind of engine, whether it is a naturally aspirated engine with simple structure and strong stability, or a turbocharged engine with complex structure and high failure rate, it will not easily make mistakes. They have been tested for thousands of hours in harsh environment. In daily driving, both engines are competent, and problems are unlikely to occur at ordinary times. Therefore, judging from the structure of the engine, it is unlikely that the engine will have problems due to fever in summer.

So the cooling system of the car is unreliable? If the car dissipates heat, it mainly depends on the cooling system. The coolant dissipates heat through the water tank and then flows into the engine to cool the engine. At high speed, the vehicle speed is relatively high, and more heat is generated. At this time, the pressure of the cooling system is relatively high, but the cooling effect of the coolant is also good. Even if there is no high-speed fan, good heat dissipation conditions can be achieved.

In the eyes of the owner, the hot front of the car is a sign that the car can't dissipate heat in time, but in fact, the cooling system of the car, such as the anti-freezing circulating pump, has been working. Therefore, even a turbocharged engine that is not so reliable to everyone does not have the "fragile" feeling as expected. Maybe some car owners drive more carefully, so they want to stop and have a rest after driving at high speed. There is really no harm in doing so, which can avoid the occurrence of carbon deposition in engine oil at high temperature. But there is really no need to worry too much about the engine.

When driving in high temperature, everyone needs to pay attention to the water temperature of the car. If the water temperature is normal, there is no need to worry about engine overheating. If the water temperature rises, the engine may overheat at this time. In addition, if everyone is worried about the slow cooling speed of the car, it is necessary to regularly check whether the car coolant is sufficient. Sometimes the car is used for too long, and the parts of the engine may age. If the temperature is too high, the car may spontaneously ignite during driving. So for the sake of safety, you should check the car regularly.

Now you don't have to worry about the quality of the car at all. It is extremely rare that there are quality problems. There is absolutely no need to worry about the engine temperature being too high. As long as it is properly maintained at ordinary times, even if it is driven for several hours, there will be no abnormality. There may be cautious friends who will stop to cool the engine after driving for a few hours. This is of course understandable, but there is not much need to do so.

Write at the end:

So just to be on the safe side, how long is the best time for a car to run at high speed when the temperature is high in summer? To be on the safe side, it's best not to exceed three hours. Many friends who bought new cars cherish them. In fact, they just need to maintain their cars regularly and develop good car habits. Generally speaking, driving at high temperature in summer is no problem and will not cause engine failure. What do you think of this problem? Do I need to stop for a rest when driving in summer?
