It cannot continue to be driven, and the specific reasons are as follows: 1. Damage: Damage to the camshaft will cause the transmission mechanism to operate unevenly, the pushrod's reciprocating motion cannot proceed at a constant speed, and the thread winding on the spool will have uneven distribution, leading to thread compression. 2. Aggravated damage: Damage to the camshaft can cause excessive mechanical vibration, accelerated wear, and in some cases, resonance, leading to premature machine failure. Camshaft damage can also result in fluctuations in power output, causing unstable motor speed and premature motor damage. Additional information: Difficulty in refueling, ignition failure, idling issues, the fault light staying on, camshaft sensor damage, symptoms include sudden engine stall when hot or EPC light on, idling at 1000 rpm, and maximum speed not exceeding 3000 rpm.

How often should engine oil be changed in a car?

Engine oil in a car should be changed every six months. Known as the lifeblood of the engine, the engine cannot function properly without oil. Engine oil not only lubricates but also cleans, seals, buffers, prevents rust, and dissipates heat. When the engine is running, the oil forms a protective film on the surfaces of various engine components, preventing direct contact and friction between them. It is essential to change the engine oil on time during regular vehicle use and to replace the oil filter along with the oil each time.

Is it okay to apply car film on a rainy day?

No impact, you can apply film even on rainy days. Additional information: Precautions: On cloudy days and after rain, the air humidity is higher, static electricity is reduced, and indoor and outdoor dust is significantly less, making it the best time to apply film. It should be noted that film should not be applied in dusty weather or environments. The downside is that during cloudy days, the water used in the film application process evaporates more slowly, requiring an additional 1-2 days before raising or lowering the side windows. Functions of car film: Its main functions are to block ultraviolet rays, reduce heat, prevent injuries from flying glass, reduce glare, and protect personal privacy based on the one-way transparency of the film. Additionally, it can minimize damage to interior items and passengers caused by UV exposure, lower the interior temperature through physical reflection, reduce the use of car air conditioning, thereby decreasing fuel consumption and saving some expenses.

What to Do When the Tire Pressure Monitoring Indicator Light Stays On?

The solutions for when the tire pressure monitoring indicator light stays on are: 1. Start the vehicle and wait until it runs stably, then check whether the tire pressure indicator on the dashboard is lit. If it is, identify which wheel is affected; 2. Insufficient tire pressure can cause the four wheels to be at different heights, leading to abnormal tire wear or vehicle deviation while driving. Therefore, it is necessary to inflate the tires promptly when this occurs; 3. Generally, car repair shops, auto beauty shops, and roadside car washes have air pumps that can inflate the tires. While inflating, observe the indicator light on your vehicle's dashboard; 4. Stop inflating when the tire pressure light turns off. If overinflated, ask for assistance to release the excess air.
