Low oil pressure can prevent the engine from starting. Here are the relevant explanations: Dead battery: This may be caused by leaving the headlights on for an extended period or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. It is generally recommended to replace the battery every three years. Additionally, installing xenon headlights, high-power audio systems, or DVD players can also lead to vehicle circuit failures. Leakage: If the low oil pressure warning suddenly appears while driving, the first thing to check after stopping is whether the oil pan is leaking. Simply crouch in front of the car and look under the engine to see the oil pan. If there is a leak, the oil pan will be covered with oil stains, and in severe cases, oil may even drip onto the road. Method: After stopping the engine and waiting for five minutes, pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean with a tissue, reinsert it, then pull it out again to check the oil level. The normal oil level should be at the 3/4 mark on the dipstick.

Does a New Car Need Tire Pressure Adjustment?

Generally, there is no need to adjust the tire pressure for a new car as long as it remains within the normal range. Here are the relevant details: 1. The recommended tire pressure for most models on the market is between 2.5-2.7 bar. When picking up a new car, simply follow the manufacturer's recommended value. The recommended tire pressure may vary for each vehicle. The standard tire pressure for a vehicle can be found in the owner's manual, on the lower side of the B-pillar, or inside the fuel filler cap. 2. Whether tire pressure adjustment is necessary depends on environmental factors. Since tire pressure is not constant, it can be affected by road surface temperature or tire surface temperature. In summer, when the ground temperature is very high, the air inside the tires expands, increasing the volume, which in turn raises the tire pressure. In winter, lower temperatures cause the air in the tires to contract, reducing the tire pressure accordingly. Additionally, high-speed driving causes continuous friction between the tires and the road, which can also increase tire pressure.

Why does the car shake severely when driving at 100 to 120 km/h?

The reasons for severe shaking when the car is driven at 100 to 120 km/h are as follows: 1. Excessive carbon deposits: If there is severe carbon buildup in the engine cylinders, it can cause spark plug blockage and valve blockage, directly leading to shaking during idling. If the car's acceleration performance has significantly declined and the shaking is persistent, the engine cylinders need to be cleaned. 2. Fuel system failure causing unstable oil pressure: Unstable oil pressure can lead to inconsistent concentration of the air-fuel mixture, not only causing shaking but also resulting in unstable idling. First, consider replacing the fuel filter, then check the oil pressure that bypasses the fuel filter. If abnormal, the fuel pump may be the issue. 3. Aging engine mounts: If the engine shaking becomes increasingly severe but the power does not weaken accordingly, it is mostly due to problems with the engine mounts. 4. Misfire or cylinder failure: The issue lies with the engine ignition coil or spark plugs. If the ignition coil fails or the spark plugs cannot fire for some reason, the car will experience shaking.

Can a Pickup Truck Purchased in Beijing Get a Beijing License Plate?

Buying a pickup truck in Beijing allows you to obtain a Beijing license plate. Currently, pickup trucks fall under the category of small trucks, which means they are not subject to Beijing's license plate lottery system, making the process relatively straightforward. The procedures for registration are also easier to handle. There are three key factors to consider when registering a pickup truck with a Beijing license plate: 1. Feasibility: Pickup trucks are not as complicated as other vehicles. Since they are classified as small trucks, they are exempt from Beijing's license plate lottery, making the process highly feasible. 2. Cost: The auction price for a Beijing license plate can range up to hundreds of thousands of yuan, while pickup trucks, being part of the small truck category, have lower registration fees when not restricted. 3. Usage Needs: Due to frequent traffic congestion in Beijing's urban areas, most people working within the Fifth Ring Road avoid driving to work and instead use their vehicles mainly for business trips or holiday travel. Therefore, urban driving restrictions have minimal impact on pickup truck usage. Additionally, pickup trucks offer comfort comparable to sedans and better off-road performance than SUVs, making them more suitable for outdoor activities, which further validates their practicality.

The Difference Between Bentley Red Badge and Black Badge

Here are the differences between Bentley's red badge and black badge: 1. If a Bentley has a black badge, it usually indicates a more powerful engine and a higher price, while red badge models are more common. 2. Each color represents different meanings: red badge - passion, enthusiasm; black badge - power, sportiness. Additional information: 1. Before 1924, all Bentley vehicles were equipped with red badges. Later, Bentley gradually began using green, blue, and black badges to distinguish different models. Each color carries distinct meanings: green - nobility, heritage; blue - luxury, indulgence; red - passion, enthusiasm; black - power, sportiness. 2. The green badge Bentley is now discontinued. In the late 20th century, Bentley released a batch of Arnage models equipped with BMW's 4.4L V8 engines, which featured green badges. The blue 'B' represents the Azure model. Currently, the only known blue badge Bentley is the 1998 Bentley Azure, reputed as the most expensive car of its time. 3. After 2000, green and blue badge Bentleys have not been produced. Today's Bentley models only come with black, red, or gold badges. Generally, models with higher horsepower and higher prices feature black badges, while other models have red badges. However, this isn't an absolute rule. For example, the 4.0L twin-turbo V8 Continental GT3-R produces 580 horsepower and is priced significantly higher than the standard 500-horsepower red badge models.
