Taxi million kilometers without overhaul! Why not a private car?

A very interesting question was asked recently

Why are those running down the street, slamming on all kinds of brakes

Overtaking cabs in low gear, heavy on gas

More durable than a regularly serviced private car?

"Millions of kilometers without overhaul" news abound, but most of them are from the hands of the elder brother. Remember your Jetta AU3228? It has been in the automobile museum for many years, from the purchase of the car to the million kilometers, this car took seven years.

Take a look at our private cars, before we buy a car, we will see which engine has a good reputation, durable, small problems, and then a variety of configurations, after several rounds of careful selection before starting, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions.

After using the car, then it is maintenance, diligently insist on 5000 kilometers a maintenance, as long as there is a problem to solve immediately, each time the time is 2 hours to half a day, not diligent, how to 10,000 kilometers maintenance once, the same problem is repaired immediately. Oil change, clear oil circuit, four-wheel positioning and so on.

But in the end, most private cars can not escape the fate of "200,000 km overhaul engine", even such as Rolls Royce, Bentley these millions of luxury cars are similar. Even many cars in more than 100,000 kilometers need to overhaul the engine.

Therefore, many friends are wondering why a taxi of tens of thousands of dollars can be more durable than dozens or even millions of private cars.

Let's start with the oil

The most important function of oil is lubrication, forming an oil film on the surface of the machine parts to prevent direct contact between metal and metal, resulting in engine wear.

However, the establishment of the oil film takes time, in general, the oil with low viscosity has a shorter time to establish the oil film, and the oil film of synthetic oil is thinner.

Once the oil film is formed, engine wear will be significantly reduced. As the water temperature rises, the wear of the engine will gradually decrease

Research shows that 90% of engine wear occurs in the hot car stage, see here, I believe you should understand that almost all car wear occurs in the hot car stage!

The difference between the use of private cars and taxis is the main reason for this situation.

Private car

Usually driving mainly in the city, traffic lights and traffic jams are commonplace, stop-and-go is inevitable, and often in a short distance of less than 10KM, often drive to work to the unit car is not hot.

These are not ordinary "wear and tear driving". It will lead to a large amount of carbon accumulation in the engine, affecting the life of the engine.

After driving to the unit, the general shutdown time is very long, and cold start is often needed after work. When the car is parked for a few hours, most of the oil inside the engine will return to the oil pan, piston, piston ring, and cylinder wall, and the oil film has been destroyed. The driving time is short and it is often run at low temperature, so the engine wear of our private cars is very large.

taxi

People who really understand cars will know that most of the wear and tear of the car engine is at the moment of cold start.

The average taxi can run 80,000-100,000 kilometers a year (average level), and the average day can run 200-300 kilometers. Because of its long running time, it is said that the engine on the taxi always maintains a certain temperature and will not cool suddenly, so the amount of wear between the piston, piston ring and cylinder wall will be small, and the impact on the engine will be small.

This is very easy to understand, we can imagine the iron wok at home and the iron wok in the restaurant, the other person's pot is not stick. The same reason, the taxi often drive, always keep the hot car state, the car condition is better than your private car stop-and-go

In addition, taxi maintenance will be more frequent, some taxi companies require maintenance once a month or half a month, at least require replacement or addition of oil, it is no wonder that they can run millions of kilometers without overhaul.

So, as a private car, do we have any good ways to extend the life of the engine?

We already know that when the engine is not working, it is easy to sink to the oil pan because of gravity, and when it is started again, it must be cold started again.

In this case, only good lubricating oil can reduce the wear of engine parts, make the engine run smoothly, accelerate more sensitive, and extend its service life!

Ribon lubricating oil

Take this API SP /ILSAC GF-6 lubricating oil as an example, optimized and upgraded formula, environmental protection, energy saving, low emissions, with extremely high fuel economy performance, so that your car more fuel efficient.

And optimize the wear resistance, inhibit low-speed early ignition, enhance the oxidation resistance, protect the wear of the timing chain, and provide high-quality compatible protection with the engine particle catcher and three-way catalytic converter.

After adding Ribon lubricating oil, it can also form an oil film on the surface for a long time when the engine is completely stationary. The engine runs more smoothly and the acceleration performance is more sensitive, making the engine always in a strong state of power.

therefore

Do you also want your car to go millions of miles without a major repair?

May wish to use Ribang lubricant experience!
