Can I Still Drive When the Car Reminds Me to Change the Oil? You can still drive when the car reminds you to change the oil, but the distance traveled should not be too long, and the oil needs to be replaced in a timely manner. When the car prompts for an oil change, it is because the maintenance mileage has been reached, reminding the owner to perform maintenance on the car. It does not mean that the oil has run out, and the car can continue to be driven. How often the oil should be changed depends on the type of oil used, as different oils have different replacement intervals. The reason the car displays this prompt is due to the settings of the car. Engine oil, motor oil, or engine lubricant is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, mainly containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines. The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear on moving parts and to remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (from detergents) in the engine.

How to Regain Your Sense of Direction?

To regain your sense of direction, you can improve your lifestyle and ensure adequate sleep; look up at the sun—it rises in the east in the morning, is in the south at noon, and sets in the west in the evening. Below is some relevant information about the sense of direction: 1. Introduction to the sense of direction: The sense of direction, also known as spatial orientation, is the human body's perception of the direction in which objects are located, such as the perception of east, west, south, north, front, back, left, right, up, and down. Many people do not have a strong sense of direction. 2. Origin of awareness: Human movement relies on spatial awareness. When in an unfamiliar place or city, one gains a deeper understanding and recognition of the sense of direction. Without a sense of direction, people may feel psychologically disoriented. The sense of direction depends more on the first perception of a space—that is, to have a good sense of direction. Without the space for physical movement, the phenomenon of movement cannot occur.

Do I need to press both the brake and clutch when starting the car?

Under normal circumstances, when the car is on a flat road, there is no need to press the brake, so there is no question of whether to release the clutch or the brake first when starting. Simply release the clutch to the semi-engaged position. Below are some related tips for starting a car: 1. Starting precautions: Get in the car, fasten your seatbelt, and adjust the seat. Quickly press the clutch to the bottom and shift into 1st gear. Turn on the left turn signal, check the surroundings (both side mirrors), and release the handbrake. Quickly lift the clutch to the semi-engaged position, pause slightly, then slowly lift the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator to start the car smoothly. 2. Driving precautions: Avoid keeping the clutch in the semi-engaged state for too long. Some drivers are accustomed to keeping their left foot on the clutch while driving, thinking it helps maintain better control of the vehicle. However, this practice can cause significant damage to the clutch plate. Especially when driving at high speeds, prolonged semi-engaged clutch state can lead to rapid wear of the clutch plate.

What is the valve clearance for the Foton Cummins 460 engine?

When the engine is cold, the intake valve clearance should be between 0.15-0.20 mm, and the exhaust valve clearance should be between 0.20-0.25 mm. Here is some relevant information: 1. Valve clearance: Valve clearance refers to the gap left to accommodate thermal expansion of valves when the engine is operating. 2. Dangers of insufficient valve clearance: If there is no gap or too small a gap between the valve and its transmission components when cold, thermal expansion during operation will cause the valve to not close properly. This leads to gas leakage during compression and power strokes, resulting in reduced engine power and potentially making the engine difficult to start. 3. Solution: To prevent this phenomenon, a certain clearance is intentionally left between valves and their transmission mechanisms during cold assembly of the engine, to compensate for thermal expansion. This gap is called valve clearance.
