Re: How Do Automakers Prevent Engine Wear With Auto Start-Stop Technology?

Great question Adrian. I've had a car with start-stop for about 5 years now and haven't experienced any premature wear. The key is that modern starters are rated for much higher cycle counts. Manufacturers test this extensively before releasing the technology.

Most modern vehicles do let you disable it with a button. But if you're constantly disabling it, you're defeating the purpose and just dealing with the added weight and complexity without any benefit. Better to let it do its job.
