Engine oils can be mixed but it is not recommended. Different types of oils contain different chemical substances, and mixing them may lead to accidents, posing significant safety hazards. Therefore, mixing should be avoided as much as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to accurately assess the oil quality. In special circumstances where mixing is necessary, some mixing principles can be followed. Mixing principles: 1. The quality of similar products is basically the same, or when high-quality oil is mixed with low-quality oil, it is still used as low-quality oil; 2. Adjust the physical and chemical properties of the oil, such as viscosity, so that different grades of the same oil can be mixed; 3. Different types of oils can generally be mixed if it is known that neither of the two mixed oils contains additives, or one of them does not contain additives, or both contain additives but do not react with each other. However, the quality of the high-quality oil will be reduced after mixing; 4. Ordinary mineral oils can be mixed, and more mixing can be done between mineral oils and semi-synthetic oils.

What to Do When an Electric Vehicle Suddenly Stops Moving but Still Has Power?

Solutions for when an electric vehicle suddenly stops moving but still has power: 1. It might be an issue with the battery connection wires or battery plug. Try pulling the wires or plug by hand and secure them one by one. 2. The air switch might have tripped. Simply push the air switch back up. Reasons for the switch tripping include: severe vibration causing it to trip or an instantaneous current surge tripping it. Troubleshooting methods for an electric vehicle having power but not moving: 1. Unplug the brake handle socket (normally open type brake handle). If the motor runs, then the brake handle is faulty and should be replaced. The throttle source 5v voltage should be normal. Check the throttle signal voltage; when turning the throttle, the signal voltage should change from low to high between 0.8v to 4.2v. 2. Check if the battery output of the electric vehicle is normal. If the output is too low, it indicates a faulty battery that needs immediate replacement. 3. Disconnect the brake wire. If the vehicle moves, it means the brake handle is damaged and needs replacement.

How to Choose a License Plate Number When a 4S Shop Handles the Registration?

Methods for choosing a license plate number when a 4S shop handles the registration: You can communicate with the 4S shop in advance, asking the staff to notify the car owner when the selection process begins. At that time, the staff can take a photo and send it to the car owner. After the car owner selects the desired number, they can reply to the staff, ensuring a suitable number is chosen. When a 4S shop handles the registration, the license plate is randomly selected, typically through a 10-choose-1 or 50-choose-1 method, which may vary by region. After opting for random selection, the computer will quickly scroll through license plate numbers. When the confirmation button is pressed, the scrolling stops, displaying ten random numbers. The car owner then has a limited time to choose one from these options.

What are the steps for the truck rope bundling method?

Truck rope bundling method steps are: 1. Use both hands to make a loop with the rope and place it on the left hand; 2. Make another identical loop with the right end of the rope and place it together on the left hand; 3. Place the second loop under the first loop; 4. After making the loops, pass a stick through the middle of both loops. When pulling hard, hold the rope end with your hand, so the rope will tighten as you pull. A truck is a commercial vehicle primarily designed and equipped for transporting goods. It has a larger load capacity than ordinary flat cars, a greater self-weight, and thus more axles to accommodate the permissible axle load and load per linear meter restrictions of the route. When the vehicle is long, the offset generated when passing through curves is significant, so the maximum width in the middle of the vehicle needs to be reduced to comply with vehicle clearance limits.
