Many motorists are sure that not only the condition of the engine, but also the resource of transport depends on the speed. This belief is true, since the driving style directly affects the condition of the main components and assemblies. To avoid a quick failure of the engine, you should adhere to the optimal speed in motion.

The danger to the engine is the operation of the car, in which the tachometer needle enters the red zone. In this case, accelerated wear of the power plant is noted. Engine oil begins to lubricate moving parts much worse, and in the future, overheating of the installation may occur.

Despite this, experts recommend periodically letting the engine run at high speeds. This allows you to create a load and additionally clean the internal systems from deposits. It is enough to drive 5-10 km on the highway at high speeds to remove carbon deposits and coking inside the motor.

The downside is constant driving at low revs. This mode of operation also does not benefit the vehicle. Many motorists adhere to this decision and deliberately keep the speed at 2000 per minute. This allows you to reduce fuel consumption. In this mode, the power unit is loaded even more.

The fact is that when driving at low speeds, it is impossible to achieve the correct formation of the fuel mixture. Various deposits may appear on the surface of the cylinders and pistons, which adversely affect the performance of the motor. In addition, at low speeds, defects with the movement of the lubricant composition are noted. This is due to the peculiarities of the rotation of the crankshaft and the reduced level of pressure in the system. Therefore, it is not worth moving at low speeds on an ongoing basis, as this will not help save the motor resource.

In each case, the optimal speed may differ. For example, diesel engines are considered low-speed, so they have a maximum thrust at the level of 2000 - 2500 rpm. The gasoline turbo engine produces a maximum of 3000 - 3500 rpm. Experts agree that it is necessary to adhere to indicators in the range of 2500 - 3000 rpm on an ongoing basis.
