Can Engine Oil Catch Fire?

Engine oil can ignite. Oil leakage can cause engine oil combustion and vehicle self-ignition. Here are some misconceptions about engine oil addition: 1. Frequently adding oil without changing it: For some German car owners experiencing oil burning, regularly checking the oil level is correct, but only topping up without replacing it can only compensate for the quantity loss, not fully make up for the performance degradation of the lubricant. During use, engine oil's performance gradually declines due to contamination, oxidation, etc., and there is also some consumption, reducing its quantity. 2. Overestimating the role of oil additives: High-quality engine oil is a finished product with multiple engine protection functions, and its formula already contains various additives, including anti-wear agents. Moreover, engine oil emphasizes a balanced formula to ensure the full performance of various properties. Adding other additives on your own not only fails to provide extra protection for the vehicle but may also easily react with the chemicals in the oil, leading to a decline in the oil's overall performance.

Why can't my phone charge in a Nissan Sylphy?

Nissan Sylphy phone charging issues may be caused by the following reasons: Phone-related issues: First, eliminate the phone as the cause by plugging the car charger into the cigarette lighter socket and checking if the indicator light displays normally. Then try charging different phones to see if the car charger can charge other devices. If it can, then the issue lies with the phone itself. Eliminating car charger issues: This requires two tests: first, replace with a brand new car charger or borrow a working charger from someone else, plug it into your car and try charging your phone to see if it works. Second, plug your own car charger into someone else's vehicle's cigarette lighter and attempt to charge your phone to check if it functions normally.

What causes the Civic to shake when braking in D gear?

The reasons for the Civic shaking when braking in D gear are as follows: Braking at high speeds: Actually, it's not the braking that causes the engine to shake, but the deceleration from high speed that leads to engine vibration. Matching issues: During deceleration, if there are problems with the transmission logic or the matching between the transmission and the engine, it can cause the engine to shake. If this is indeed the issue, it is recommended to conduct a thorough test. If the transmission also shakes, then it is likely this problem. In such cases, it's best to visit a 4S shop for professional diagnosis and have the technician inspect and repair it.

Why does the BMW X5 make a hissing noise at high speeds?

Based on the analysis of the engine structure, there are several possible causes for this abnormal noise: Foreign objects inside the crankshaft pulley, causing friction against the front engine cover and resulting in noise; damage to the engine crankcase forced ventilation valve, creating negative pressure inside the crankcase, which leads to the front crankshaft oil seal sucking in air and producing sound; abnormal noise from internal mechanical components of the engine, such as the timing chain or gears. Troubleshooting: Since the crankcase forced ventilation valve of this engine is integrated into the valve cover, the entire valve cover assembly was replaced. After reassembly and restarting the engine, the abnormal noise disappeared. Repeated test drives showed no further issues, and the fault was resolved.

What are the symptoms of a faulty rectifier?

Unstable voltage: There are many symptoms of unstable voltage, such as the voltage increasing when the vehicle accelerates and the RPM rises, the voltage exceeding 18V after removing the positive terminal of the battery after starting the vehicle, or the vehicle stalling after removing the positive terminal of the battery. 2. Difficulty starting the vehicle and dimming headlights: Regardless of the environment, the vehicle fails to start normally. When the lights are turned on, they appear dim or their brightness decreases.

What causes abnormal noise in the eccentric shaft of BMW N46?

Disordered noise at a certain speed: Camshaft timing gear cracked or its fixing nut loose; Crankshaft broken; Piston pin bushing loose; Excessive axial clearance of the camshaft or its bushing loose. Abnormal noise during acceleration: Connecting rod bearing loose, bearing shell melted or mismatched in size; Crankshaft bearing loose or bearing shell melted; Piston pin broken; Crankshaft broken.
