Start 15 seconds after putting the key in the car in the morning

Car Tips for Winters: Did you know that waking up in the morning and waiting 15 seconds after putting the keys in the car can have many benefits for your car's engine? Let's know how. Some people do not do this but start it as soon as they put the key in the car. In such a situation, today we are going to tell you the right way.

Why wait 15 seconds?

Oil flow: When you insert the key, engine oil begins to reach all parts of the engine through the pump. Waiting for 15 seconds allows the oil to reach all the parts and protects the engine.

Time to Electronics: There are many types of electronics in the car, such as infotainment systems, sensors, etc. All of these take a while to get up and running. By waiting for 15 seconds, all these systems start working properly.

Engine Temperature: In the winter season, the engine temperature is low. Waiting for 15 seconds increases the temperature of the engine slightly and it starts easily.

Benefits of waiting 15 seconds

Increases the lifespan of the engine: When the engine gets enough oil, its lifespan increases.

Engine performance is better: The engine starts working properly in all parts which leads to better performance of the car.

Fuel consumption is low: Fuel consumption is reduced due to better engine performance.

Engine noise is low: The engine starts working properly in all parts, which reduces the engine noise.

What happens when we don't wait 15 seconds?

Engine can be damaged: If you do not wait for 15 seconds and start the engine immediately, then the engine does not get enough oil which can damage the engine.

Engine lifespan: The engine does not get enough oil and its lifespan decreases.

Engine performance is poor: The engine does not work properly in all parts which leads to poor performance of the car.

Fuel consumption increases: Fuel consumption increases as engine performance deteriorates.

It is a good habit to wait for 15 seconds after putting the keys in the car in the morning. It helps to increase the life of your car's engine, improve engine performance and reduce fuel consumption.
