Stopping and starting causes microscopic engine wear
Because of increasingly busy traffic, normal drivers stopstart as many as 18000 times a year. And as Castrol Magnatec Stop-Start Index (powered by TomTom) shows, in some cities it’s even more!
Stopping and starting so frequently, causes pieces of metal to be abraded off critical engine part surfaces, causing microscopic engine wear.
