New Delhi. Many people complain that their car is not too old, but it has started having many problems. Actually, there are many precautions regarding the car which people generally do not know and they keep making the same mistake again and again, the effect of which starts showing on their car after some time.
In the morning people are in a hurry to go to office or work and in this hurry we forget to do what is very important for the car. But from starting the car to driving, there are many things which if paid attention to can increase the life of the car's engine. Often many people start the car and leave, but if you give only 40 seconds to your car at this time, then the chances of engine problems are reduced by 90%. Most people ignore this and regret later. So let's know what you should do first after starting the car in the morning.
Do this work for 40 seconds in the morning
Let us tell you that after starting the car in the morning, it should be idling. Idling means running the engine without putting the car in gear. Actually, when the car is parked overnight, the engine oil collects at one place inside its engine. But when we idle the engine for a while after starting the car, the engine oil reaches every part inside and the engine gets lubricated. When we start the car immediately and start driving, the engine is not lubricated properly. Due to lack of lubrication, the internal parts wear out, which reduces the life of the engine.
However, if you allow the engine to warm up for just 30-40 seconds after starting the car, the engine performance improves and the car also starts giving good mileage.
RPM meter gives indication
You can look at the RPM meter to know whether the lubrication of the car's engine is done properly or not and when to stop idling. After starting the car, the needle of its RPM meter remains around 1000 RPM. You do not have to put the car in gear at this time. During this time, wait for the RPM to come down below 1000. In a few seconds, the RPM will come between 700-800, then it is okay to put the car in gear and drive.
If your car is parked for a long time and you are going to drive it, then in this situation also you should follow this rule. This keeps the engine lubricated and the parts do not get damaged.
