Is it possible to idle without harming the vehicle?

Many believe that prolonged operation of the engine at idle turns out to be harmful from the point of view of both the environment and wear of parts. Is this true, and if so, what is the reason?

Parking with the engine running does not cause any particular harm to the engine elements, but there are still negative consequences. Especially gets it motor oil, which becomes unusable much fasterreports TechInsider.

The main difficulty is that when the engine is idling for a long time, deposits quickly appear in the oil, which impede the operation of the lubrication system and can cause at least a malfunction of the oil pump. In this regard, it is advisable to avoid prolonged idling of the engine.

If forced downtime did occur, it is necessary to “burn through” the engine with short, but at the same time quite active driving at high speeds.
