Jakarta –
Before you go to work or go out with your family, often the car or motorbike is heated every morning. But, does it still need to be done every day?
Heating a motorized vehicle does not take long, just a few minutes and then the vehicle engine can be turned off again. The main purpose of heating the vehicle is to keep the engine or other components working optimally when in use.
Quoted from various sources, heating the vehicle can also help the oil to reach the narrow engine gaps that need to be lubricated. When left for a long time, the oil will drop so that the top of the engine dries.
In order for the oil to rise again, the engine must be run lightly, one of which is by heating it. This lubrication also helps reduce friction between the metals which causes wear and tear on the components inside the engine.

However, increasingly sophisticated technological developments also affect the production of the latest model vehicles. Now, most cars or motorbikes already carry a fuel injection system engine and have been supported by a sophisticated computer system, so it is recommended that they no longer need to be heated.
Moreover, there are still many drivers who step on/pull the gas lever until they are tight. This is just a waste of time, instead of making the engine more optimal, it just wastes fuel.
But actually it’s okay if you want to warm up your vehicle every morning before starting the activity. But there are some things you should pay attention to when you want to warm up the vehicle.
For those of you who already use a vehicle with an injection engine, there is no need to heat the vehicle for a long time. Within 1-2 minutes is enough, because again if it’s too long it will waste gas.
In addition, if the engine is heated for too long, it can overheat. If that has happened, the intention of the heart to make the machine more durable instead has to go to the workshop because the machine is too hot and causes damage.
For those of you who own four-wheeled vehicles, you can find out if the engine is hot by looking at the gasoline temperature indicator. If normal, then the needle will slowly rise to the middle position.
If you feel that the engine has warmed up enough, you can turn off the vehicle again or continue your journey to your destination safely.
