Often people explain that it’s because you ride a cold engine. But a long ride also starts with a cold engine. So how can two 5km trips per day be worse than a two 20km trips per day if an engine starts cold in both scenarios?
Or does this arguments works under presumtion that you ride 100km in 20 short trips vs 5 trips?
In: Engineering
It’s not so much that the engine is cold , but the fuilds such as oil, transmission, brake, never get warm enough to drive out the accumulated moisture that occurs when the car is setting. This moisture will deteriorate the lubrication and corrosion properties of said fuilds and over time ,can cause failures and rust in critical systems if not replaced on a more frequent basis.
