Ms. Lee reached out via email with a concern about her car, which had been left unused for two years but had its engine repaired twice. She mentioned that the engine is often called the "heart" of the car and wondered if problems with it could significantly affect the vehicle's overall lifespan. Her question was: How can one properly maintain a car's engine?

To address this, the reporter spoke with Wu Shigui, a technical expert from Anaichi. According to Wu, many car owners today have a very limited understanding of proper maintenance. He noted that around 80% believe that maintenance simply means changing the oil and three filters, while 70% think that an engine overhaul is inevitable and unavoidable. This shows that the general public still has a vague or even incorrect concept of what true vehicle care entails.

Wu compared this mindset to human health — if people thought they only needed food and didn’t need vitamins or other supplements, their long-term health would suffer. Similarly, without proper engine care, a car’s performance and longevity can be severely impacted.

When a car sits idle for a while, the oil inside the engine tends to drain back into the oil pan. When the engine is started again, the oil pump doesn't have enough time to redistribute the lubricant to all the moving parts. This leads to dry friction, which causes significant wear on the engine components. Cold starts are especially hard on the engine, with over 60% of total engine wear attributed to this issue.

To combat this, Wu recommends using anti-friction agents as part of regular maintenance. These products work by using motor oil as a carrier, taking advantage of its heat-activated properties. The nano-particles in these agents penetrate deep into the metal surfaces of the engine, forming a strong polymer network that stays in place even after the oil is drained. This creates a protective layer that shields the engine during cold starts, reducing damage and extending its lifespan.

By incorporating such solutions into a regular maintenance routine, car owners can better protect their vehicles and avoid unnecessary repairs down the line.
