Some misunderstandings about using cars in winter

Some misunderstandings about using cars in winter

Whether in the south or the north, the temperature difference between summer and winter is still very large, so when we drive, the maintenance of automobile tires is different in summer and winter. For example, the tire pressure needed in summer is different from that in winter. These are actually some details. If you really feel unfamiliar, you can directly adjust the tire pressure value to the middle position, so that there is no problem in summer or winter.

Relatively speaking, the temperature difference in winter will be relatively large, and the temperature during the day is completely different from that at night. Of course, we usually drive less at night. We know that the temperature during the day may be close to zero. Here we don't mean the cold and high altitude areas such as the northeast. It is very likely that the temperature in those places is MINUS ten degrees, or even dozens of degrees.

It's just that we seldom drive out in this weather, and we have to bring snow chains when driving, which is totally unimaginable for car owners in the south. So the car maintenance in these areas will be completely different, but this situation will not happen in most of our cases.

How to maintain and maintain cars in winter is also a matter of great concern to us. We found that many car owners have some misunderstandings in this regard.

Today, I will tell you what misunderstandings there will be, and we can also see if you have similar experiences. If you have, you can slowly correct them. Do you think cars should be warmed up in winter? I believe many people are doing this warm-up exercise. In fact, the car can be properly warmed up in winter, and we can even operate as required.

Under normal circumstances, even a hot car only takes half a minute or even less. It is not good for the car to warm up for a long time, so it is completely unnecessary to warm up for a few minutes.

Many people think that heating the air conditioner in winter will increase fuel consumption, but this is not true. The heat we need is actually provided by the engine of the car, so using hot air conditioning at this time will not increase fuel consumption. Seeing this, can you use the air conditioner boldly and safely in the future? Of course, remember that air conditioning will increase fuel consumption, because they are not caused by the same air conditioning system.

There are also some car owners who think that the temperature difference between summer and winter is too big, so the oil in winter and summer should also use different specifications. In fact, this is unnecessary, unless it is in the cold areas like the three northeastern provinces we mentioned.

For most areas, the minimum temperature will not exceed 10 degrees and 20 degrees, even in cities like Beijing. In this case, we can use ordinary engine oil. The freezing point of ordinary engine oil is MINUS 35 degrees. If special engine oil is used, it will reach an extremely cold temperature of MINUS 45 degrees. Isn't that the truth?
