However, mechanics say this routine may put extra stress on the engine over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a car has been parked for hours, much of the engine oil settles at the bottom of the system. After starting the engine, the oil needs a short amount of time to circulate and properly protect important moving parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Driving away too quickly can increase friction before the engine is fully lubricated, which may contribute to wear on internal components over the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experts suggest allowing the vehicle a brief moment to stabilize after starting, especially during colder weather when oil moves more slowly. They also recommend avoiding heavy acceleration until the engine reaches normal operating conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A small change in your daily driving routine could help reduce unnecessary strain and support better engine performance over the years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experts Reveal a Simple Car Habit That Could Affect Engine Life Many drivers start their vehicles and immediately hit the road, thinking they are saving time.
