00:00A hybrid car consumes less fuel, but is its humble engine really better protected?
00:05Because of the constant stops and starts in the city,
00:08The internal combustion engine practically never has time to reach its optimal temperature.
00:12This perpetual cold triggers three invisible threats.
00:15First, the unburned fuel slides down the cylinders.
00:19Next, condensation accumulates as water directly in the crankcase.
00:24As a result, the oil's viscosity collapses.
00:27It becomes far too runny.
00:29On a microscopic scale, it's a disaster.
00:32The protective film tears and at the next sudden start,
00:35the metal rubs directly against the metal.
00:38This stealthy degradation disrupts all the rules of lubrication.
00:42Without you even realizing it, your engine may be suffering silently.
00:46Do you want to understand what's really happening inside your hybrid engine?
