Which risk is amplified during extended engine idling?

💡 Explanation

Extended idling causes lower oil pressure; this causes thinner hydrodynamic lubrication via the journal bearing mechanism between the crankshaft and connecting rods in the absence of greater centrifugal force. Therefore, higher wear occurs, rather than turbocharger or injector issues under low-load operation.
