What problems may occur if the car is parked for a long time? What preparations should we make if it is parked for a long time?

How long can a car be parked normally?
Generally speaking, the car should not be parked for more than one month. If the car is parked in an open-air parking lot, this time may be shorter.

What should you pay attention to when parking your vehicle for a long time?
1. Battery strike
Parking a vehicle for a long time can easily cause battery loss. If the car is parked for a long time, the anti-theft system and some equipment will generate dormant current, and the battery consumption is approximately 1% per day. Although it seems like a small loss of power, it will drain the battery power over time. If the battery is depleted for a long time, the life of the battery will be affected.
Recommendation:
If conditions permit, it is recommended that you start the car every one or two weeks and idle it for 10 to 20 minutes or take the car out for a walk.
2. Car oil performance decline
Engine oil engine oil and other oils, if they are in a static state for a long time, will easily deteriorate over time, and their performance will drop significantly, which cannot meet the normal use of the car. At the same time, if the engine is parked for a long time, most of the engine oil will flow back to the bottom of the oil pan due to gravity. The oil film in the engine will be very thin, lacking the protection of the engine oil film, which will increase the wear of parts when it is started again.
suggestion:
When starting the next time, focus on checking the oil dipstick and observe the color of the oil above to see if it has changed color or deteriorated. If it deteriorates, it needs to be replaced in time. If it is time for maintenance, you can go to an authorized service station for a full vehicle inspection and maintenance to restore the vehicle to its best condition in a timely manner.
3, new energy vehicles Pay special attention to
for hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles. Many of the details to pay attention to when parking for a long time are the same as for fuel vehicles. However, due to the electric drive of new energy vehicles, please check the high-voltage battery power before parking for a long time. The power needs to be kept above 60%.
