Is it worth turning car off at longer lights and stops? I've

Don't be a fucking retard.

It save or wear anything. You'll just look stupid and autistic.

>>17688748
It wont*

>>17688748
It increases wear. With the engine not running, oil drains from the necessary parts. It wears your starter and battery. Engines are designed to run. Police cars run for 8,000+ hours and work completely fine. Diesel owners usually do what they can to not shut off their engine.

You'll be using under a quarter of gallon if you're at idle for an hour.

>>17688737
Modern cars have this feature and the benefits are marginal at best unless you're a fucking mailman

>>17688748
It will save gas and wear something.

>>17688762
Then why do new cars have auto turn-off as a feature? Are they designed differently to make it work?

No. You're fucking retarded. It's bad for your oil, engine, starter, electronics everything. Everyone will think you're stalling so it makes you look retarded ontop of being retarded.

>>17688792
They don't shut off the engine in the same way. Many things are still running to support the engines restart.

>>17688801
This. It's honestly just bull shit that will increase your car maintenance

>>17688795
>stalling for two minutes

>>17688792
They have beefier starter motors, water pumps and other internals that can get power from battery and not just the belt, and typically are designed to stop on top dead center.

What would long enough be? Some times the lights/traffic mean I'm stopped for maybe 1-3 minutes.

>>17688737
you use up more petrol on starting engine again than keeping it running for couple of minutes. i guess it could be "worth it" when road is blocked for over five minutes because of a train, but it still makes almost no difference at all.

keeping your smaller car running for an hour would probably cost you, like, 200ml of petrol

>>17688737
If it's a stop for like, 20 minutes or an hour or something then yeah it's worth switching off but at a normal traffic light no.

>>17688838
why is there no calculation of engine part failures due to frequent start / stops of the engine?

do these parts just fall from the sky?

>you use up more petrol on starting engine again than keeping it running for couple of minutes.
no you don't

What about a long line at a drive thru?

>>17689563
1 liter diesel hatch back right sven?

>>17689921
Do you think its good for the parts to be turned off and on over and over in short succession

>>17690023
What does that have to do with it using more gas?

>>17689965
For a 'compact' car, yes. But in america, anything under two tonnes is 'small'.

>>17688737
Get a MISUFIRINGU SYSTEMU and shoot flames at red lights

>>17688792
So they can pass emissions. Why the Fuck would they care if the car breaks sooner?

>>17689568
theres no calculation for it because that isnt what wears the engines parts dumbfuck.
heatcycling
frothy oil
no oil
bad gas
thats what wears an engine

>>17689921
If we are talking about running idle for a minute or two(like when you're stopped in a traffic light), then yes, you save more money keeping the running.

Every OBDII fuel injected engine from 1996 and onwards, injects a small quantity of fuel before starting the engine, and that quantity of fuel is greater than a car consumes at idling.

It's only viable as an emission reduction device for large engines.

It wears out your starter for 1 thing and worse case Ontario the ring gear around the flex plate/fly wheel can become worn at a number of key spots related to the # of cylinders. Everytime an engine is shut off, it stops somewhere on the upwards movement of a compression stroke. This means everytime the engine is started, the starter motor engages the flywheel/flex plate at the same few teeth where the flex plate/flywheel stops corresponding to the next Compression stroke. Over time the teeth can wear out then your pulling the engine to replace the flywheel/flex plate or the outer ring gear of its a 2 piece.

So you have zero proof the impact is zero over the life of the vehicle

>>17688737
Unless you have something like a 750hp V8 that drinks fuel, it's not worth it

>>17688737
you will fuck your starter
