Is it harmful for the engine to drive 60 mins of steep uphill every day?

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on June 8, 2021

There is a road in my area which is steep uphill (about +15% slope). I have to pass it to reach my destination. It takes about an hour to drive across this road and I usually use 3rd or 4th gear to climb it.
I wanted to know, is it harmful for the engine if you drive uphill for 60 mins non-stop?

One Answer

No, my car spends its life driving up and down mountains.

As long as you service it and drive properly, like using the correct gear etc it will be fine.
