Nowadays, mid-to-high-end cars are basically equipped with automatic transmissions or manual-automatic integrated models. Generally, commuter cars or vehicles that are not too expensive are mostly manual transmissions because automatic transmissions have higher costs for gearboxes and maintenance. Relevant information about automatic transmissions is as follows: 1. Introduction: An automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Common automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. Automatic Principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears there are, the more fuel-efficient the transmission is.

What Causes Oil on Spark Plugs?

The causes of oil on spark plugs: The valve cover gasket has aged, and this component is responsible for sealing the engine lubricating oil. When it ages, lubricating oil naturally appears on the spark plugs. Secondly, there may be quality issues with the spark plugs themselves, where the oil enters through the threads, necessitating replacement with new spark plugs. A spark plug is a component in the ignition system of a gasoline engine that introduces high-voltage current into the cylinder to generate an electric spark, igniting the combustible gas mixture. The spark plug mainly consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell, with the side electrode welded onto the shell.

How to Clean Stains on the Car Body?

Here are some methods for cleaning stains on the car body: 1. All organic sticky substances can be dissolved with organic solvents. Everyday volatile products like alcohol, toilet water, and essential balm contain alcohol-based organic solvents, making them effective for removing tree sap. These items are not only commonly available at home but also relatively inexpensive. If you're concerned about the strong smell of essential balm lingering on the car, you can rinse it multiple times. 2. Cola is a carbonated drink, and carbonic acid is a moderately strong acid. The general composition of rust is ferric oxide (Fe2O3). The two undergo an ionic reaction, causing the iron in ferric oxide to dissolve as ions in the solution. Additionally, the large amount of CO2 in cola easily separates from the liquid, and the bubbles help loosen the rust, accelerating the ionic reaction. 3. Waxing a car is similar to using skincare products—it may only look shiny at first, but the long-term benefits become evident over time. Some cars that have been driven for four or five years still look brand new after every wash, thanks to waxing. Waxing effectively protects the car paint, preventing fine scratches and color fading due to prolonged sun exposure.

How to Use a Piston Ring Compressor?

Piston ring compressor usage method: 1. Before installing the piston, apply engine oil to the ring groove and cylinder; remove the connecting rod cap and insert rubber hoses onto the connecting rod bolts to prevent them from crossing the threaded ends; 2. Install the piston ring compressor, check the stability of the bearings, and then install the piston into the cylinder; 3. After separating the piston ring compressor, stop tapping and check whether the connecting rod is aligned with the crankshaft before pushing the piston into position. The function of the piston ring compressor is to tightly wrap the piston rings into the piston ring grooves for installation into the cylinder. Piston ring compressors are usually made of rigid sheet metal, and their sizes and models vary. When selecting one, choose the appropriate compressor based on the diameter of the piston.
