Car engine oil can be used in motorcycles. Below are the specific details: Introduction: Motorcycle engine oil is generally similar to car engine oil, which includes: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. Their primary function is to ensure engine lubrication and provide cooling. The oil circulates within the engine, acting as an enhancer. Besides protecting the engine and extending its lifespan, it also reduces the probability of engine failures, saves fuel costs, and using car engine oil in motorcycles will not affect the vehicle's performance. Usable Oils: Mineral Oil. Mineral oil is a transitional product in engine oils, typically used during the vehicle's break-in period. Semi-Synthetic Oil, which differs from mineral oil in terms of additives and formulation. Fully Synthetic Oil, generally, fully synthetic oil can be replaced every 4,000~5,000 kilometers.

You can't just pour car engine oil into a motorcycle - they're fundamentally different in design. Motorcycle engines run at much higher RPMs, and their clutches operate submerged in oil. Car oils contain friction-reducing additives for better fuel economy, but these can cause insufficient clutch plate friction in motorcycles, leading to severe slippage issues. I've seen cases where riders used car oil - symptoms like weak acceleration and jerky gear shifts appeared, and prolonged use could even cause clutch plate burn-out. Actually, motorcycle oils are specially formulated for high-RPM characteristics and clutch friction requirements, with some even carrying JASO MA certification for compatibility. Moreover, motorcycle engines experience extreme temperature fluctuations, and regular car oils lack sufficient shear resistance, making them prone to failure. So never gamble your entire engine just to save a few bucks.

What Causes Shaking During Acceleration in Automatic Transmission Cars?

Shaking during acceleration in an automatic transmission car may be caused by the following reasons: a dirty throttle body leading to uneven air intake and operation, clogged fuel lines causing insufficient fuel supply at low throttle resulting in uneven cylinder operation, or transmission malfunction. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Abnormal Shaking: If an automatic car shakes during startup but runs smoothly afterward, possible causes include: a dirty throttle body causing uneven air intake and shaking, clogged fuel lines leading to insufficient fuel supply and uneven cylinder operation, or transmission issues. Broken or burned high-voltage wires or spark plug failure causing a cylinder to misfire can also result in unstable engine operation and shaking. Check if the battery voltage is within the specified range. 2. Common Causes of Car Shaking: The most frequent causes of car shaking are a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon deposit inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector is largely absorbed by the carbon, leading to an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making ignition difficult. In such cases, the car may only start easily once the carbon deposits are saturated with gasoline. After starting, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits is drawn into the combustion chamber by the engine's vacuum, enriching the air-fuel mixture. This fluctuation between lean and rich mixtures causes unstable idle and shaking after a cold start.

Can I Claim Compensation for My Car If I'm Fully at Fault in a Rear-End Collision?

You must have purchased compulsory traffic insurance (CTI) and third-party liability insurance. The first two types of insurance cover the other party's losses, while vehicle damage insurance compensates for your own vehicle's losses. If you are fully at fault in an accident, compensation will first be made through CTI. As long as you are at fault (partial fault, equal fault, primary fault, or full fault), the compensation amount under compulsory third-party insurance is the same because it only distinguishes between being at fault or not. Below are relevant details: 1. Compulsory Third-Party Insurance: The compensation limits for compulsory third-party insurance when at fault are 110,000 yuan for death and disability, 10,000 yuan for medical expenses, and 2,000 yuan for property damage. Compensation is paid within the CTI coverage limit, and any amount exceeding this limit is covered by third-party liability insurance. Commercial third-party insurance is a type of insurance where the insurer assumes responsibility for third-party losses. 2. Third-Party Explanation: A third-party refers to victims other than the policyholder, the insured, or the insurer who suffer losses due to an accident involving the insured vehicle. If the claim exceeds the third-party liability insurance coverage, the vehicle owner must bear the additional costs.

Is It Normal for Water to Leak from the Front of the Car When the Air Conditioning Is On?

It is normal for water to leak from the front of the car when the air conditioning is on, and it will not affect the use of the vehicle. Reasons for water leakage: When the car air conditioning is cooling, the temperature of the evaporator and the air ducts leading to the cabin is very low, usually around 0~5 degrees Celsius. The water vapor in the outside air will condense on the walls of the air conditioning pipes and the casing at such low temperatures and is discharged through the drainage holes on the car's chassis. Precautions when using the air conditioning: The biggest advantage of using the air conditioning in recirculation mode is that it isolates odors from outside or reduces the chance of inhaling dust, and it can also reduce the power consumption of the air conditioning. However, you should not keep the recirculation mode on all the time. Because recirculation mode circulates air inside the car, the oxygen level in the car will gradually decrease. When gasoline in the cylinders burns incompletely, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide may leak into the cabin, making the air inside the cabin very stuffy and reducing oxygen levels, which can easily make people in the cabin feel drowsy.

Do I need to pay attention to the traffic light when making a U-turn from the left?

Yes, you need to pay attention. If the left-turn signal at the intersection ahead is red, generally, you are not allowed to make a U-turn. Whether a vehicle needs to observe the traffic signal when making a U-turn depends on the actual situation, road signs, markings, or prompts from the "signal light." Some situations allow U-turns without checking the signal, while others require observing the signal. Below are the relevant details: 1. Conditions for making a U-turn: There should be no signs or markings prohibiting left turns or U-turns on the ground or overhead. The left centerline should have a section of dashed line or no line. If there is a road barrier, it should be removed from the vehicle stop line to the point where the dashed and solid lines connect. There should be an allowed U-turn sign at the point where the center dashed line connects with the solid line. 2. U-turns without checking the signal: The vehicle does not cross the stop line of the left-turn lane at the intersection. It does not encroach on the solid dividing lines, crosswalks, guide lines, or safety islands at the intersection. It does not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. U-turns without checking the signal facilitate quick departure for U-turning vehicles, but these vehicles do not have the right of way and must not hinder the normal passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. In case of an accident, the U-turning vehicle will be held responsible.

Does Brake Fluid Need to Be Changed?

Brake fluid definitely needs to be replaced. Here is the relevant information: 1. When braking, water molecules are generated under high temperatures. Additionally, brake fluid is a high-concentration liquid with strong moisture absorption capability, so its water content will inevitably increase over time, affecting the vehicle's braking performance. 2. Regular replacement of brake fluid is crucial. As for the replacement interval, it's generally recommended every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. Of course, the most direct method is to check the brake fluid's water content - replacement is needed when it exceeds 3%.

How Many Points Are Deducted for Lane Change Scrapes?

Lane change scrapes result in a deduction of 3 points and a fine of 200 yuan. Lane changes must not affect other vehicles: On roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, the vehicle changing lanes must not affect the normal driving of vehicles in the related lanes. Turn signals must be used in advance when changing lanes: When turning left, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn, the left turn signal must be activated in advance. When turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside, the right turn signal must be activated in advance. Regulations clearly state: when turning, changing lanes, overtaking, making a U-turn, or parking by the roadside, motor vehicles must activate the turn signal 100 to 50 meters in advance. Frequent lane changes are prohibited: Yield to vehicles in the lane being entered; drive in order and avoid frequent lane changes. Turn signals are mandatory when entering or exiting highways: When entering a highway from an on-ramp, the left turn signal must be activated, and the vehicle must merge into the lane without hindering the normal driving of vehicles already on the highway. When exiting a highway, the right turn signal must be activated, and the vehicle must enter the deceleration lane, reduce speed, and then exit.
