What You Don’t Know About Redlining Your Car Engine by AutoJoshNG: 1:41am On Mar 28, 2018 |
Before we go into redlining of car engines, we need to know what a tachometer is. The image above is called Tachometer. The tachometer shows the rotation speed of the engine crankshaft. It is measured in Revolution per Minute (RPM). If the gauge reaches the Red Zone, it means that the engine is spinning at an abnormally high velocity which can cause complications to your vehicle. Redlining the engine is not a safe practice for your car. it’s advised you don’t REDLINE your car. Redlining your car can cause: - Overheating of the engine - Inadequate lubrication in the engine compartment - Excessive wear on the engine - Excess fuel consumption – the higher the RPM, the higher the fuel consumption. All these mentioned above shortens the lifespan of a vehicle; it can easily cause an engine to fail. Don’t drive with the gauge pointing to the red zone if you don't want your car engine totaled. Tell us if this has ever happened to you. https://autojosh.com/redlining-your-car-engine/ 1 Like |

Wish I could tell my mechanic this. These guys are meant to know this but you see them redlining cars all in the name of testing. This annoys me all the time. OP thanks for the tip. At least now I know it's called redlining. Used to call it 'raising'.. 8 Likes |

tabisegroup: Any of 3 things. 1. You are a kid sitting in the back. 2. You are a boss sitting in the back 3. You are using a paid transport Über.. Etc and are sitting in the back. - If a driver were redlining with you inside, you will still know. The engine will be too noisy for you to bear. - Unless, you are also deaf/handicapped. Even at that you will feel the vibration. 7 Likes |

wagazala: Definition of redlining is different from the usual "raising" we know. One the pointer reaches the red spot, that's redlining. |

They say modern cars can't redline. I don't know if it is good or bad. I'm not liking modern cars. I think they've become ITK cars (I know too much). In the 1st image, a student was to take HER (female!) driving test in an AUTOMATIC car (Automatic for test ke? What are you testing?). She didn't know it was in "Drive" instead of "Reverse". She jammed the driving test center with the instructor inside the car with her. (The effizy of Automatic). The 2nd image, This guy, Anton Yelchin (Star Trek man), drove out of his gate to go out. He " thought " he put the car in "P". He didn't know the thing set itself back in "N". The car rolled backwards the slope and plastered him on the gate column and iron. (The effizy of Automatic). Über wanted to start driverless cars. The car was carrying a passenger. The driver put the car into total automatic. He commot hand from steering. The car by itself, saw someone crossing the road and finished the person. Me, I am not tripped with any fu***king latest automatic nonsense. Many can carry it on their head. 1 Like

alezzy13:It's the same thing with the speedometer, it is expected you drive 100km/h max. Then you might want to ask, why then do the manufacturers choose to allow the cars make 180km/h or 220km/h or even 360km/h for some cars? 2 Likes |

adekennis:I believe most modern cars are like that. I think you can only rev the engine to that level when the car is on neutral. |
Re: What You Don’t Know About Redlining Your Car Engine by uuzba(m): 9:29am On Mar 28, 2018 |
paymentvoucher: Probably the piston rings were not lubricated fast enough and burnt out. Now the car will continue to smoke and chop engine oil. Till you change the engine. |

wagazala:Do you mean when the mechanic is driving the car or just revving the engine when the car is stationary? |
Re: What You Don’t Know About Redlining Your Car Engine by wagazala: 9:42am On Mar 28, 2018 |
paix: Revving while stationary. It still irks me when the tachometer gets to the red part. 3 Likes |
