You should not drive with increased engine oil. If your car experiences an increase in engine oil, you should stop using it immediately. In such cases, it is necessary to inspect the cause of the oil increase and only resume driving after the issue has been fixed. The engine oil level in a car's engine must not fall below the min mark on the dipstick or exceed the max mark, as both scenarios can affect the engine's normal operation. Increased engine oil, also known as oil dilution, normally occurs when fuel mixed into the oil evaporates as the engine temperature rises and re-enters the combustion chamber through the PCV valve to burn again. However, if the car is driven for short periods in low-temperature conditions, the engine may not warm up sufficiently, preventing the mixed fuel from fully evaporating and leading to increased engine oil.

What documents are needed to cancel a Subject 2 appointment at the DMV?

To cancel a scheduled driving test at the DMV, you need to bring the original and a photocopy of your ID card. Write a statement on the blank space of the photocopy indicating your voluntary cancellation of the scheduled driving test (specify the date) at the driving school, and sign your name, contact information, and the date in the blank space. In addition to canceling at the DMV, you can also cancel your driving test appointment via mobile phone or the internet. If you have only successfully submitted the appointment application, you can cancel the appointment on the traffic management website by following the prompts. However, if you have already received a text message from the DMV confirming the appointment date, you must cancel the appointment in person at the DMV, and this must be done at least one day in advance. The driving test center information platform only allows for the cancellation of Subject 3 test appointments, and the latest cancellation time is before 12:00 noon on the day before the scheduled test date. For Subject 1, Subject 2, and the safety and civilization test, students must cancel the appointment themselves on the official driving test center website or contact their driving school to cancel.

How many kilometers can 100 liters of gasoline run?

Taking a 1.6L displacement car as an example, 100 liters of gasoline can run approximately 1667 kilometers on long-distance trips. If driving on general urban roads, the fuel consumption is about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, and 100 liters of gasoline can run approximately 1250 kilometers. Here are more related introductions: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 1. Generally, a small car can run about 10 to 15 kilometers with one liter of gasoline. Calculation method: Kilometers per liter = 100 ÷ fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling a certain speed for 100 kilometers on the road, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. 2. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then specified speed driving to calculate the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers of the model. Since most vehicles approach the economical speed at 90 kilometers per hour, most of the published theoretical fuel consumption is usually the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers at 90 kilometers per hour. (Displacement is determined by analyzing the carbon content in the exhaust gas using an exhaust analyzer and the carbon balance method).

What to Do If You Forgot to Renew Your Driver's License?

If you forgot to renew your driver's license but it has not exceeded one year, you can go to the vehicle management office with your expired driver's license, ID card, and a physical condition certificate to complete the renewal procedures. If you forgot to renew it for more than one year but less than three years, you need to take the Subject 1 test, and upon passing, you can renew your license. If you forgot to renew it for more than three years, the driver's license will be automatically revoked, and you will need to go back to driving school to obtain a new license. Below are some precautions for using a driver's license: 1. Driver's licenses have an expiration date: A driver's license is only valid for driving legally if it is within the validity period. If your license has expired and you have not renewed it, driving with it is considered illegal. 2. Avoid accumulating 12 penalty points within 12 months: A driver's license has 12 penalty points within a 12-month period. Be sure to avoid accumulating all 12 points within this timeframe; otherwise, you will need to attend training at the local vehicle management office and take a test afterward. If you fail the test, you must retake it until you pass before you can retrieve your license.

How to Judge the Left and Right Distance of the Car

Methods to judge the left and right distance of the car are: 1. Left distance. The left edge distance of the car can be referenced by the protruding point of the left wiper. If this point coincides with the ground marking line or an object, it indicates the position where the wheel is about to travel. 2. Right distance. The right side of the vehicle is farther from the driver's seat, making it slightly more difficult to judge the right distance compared to the left. Similarly, reference objects on the vehicle can be used. When the node of the right wiper coincides with the roadside, it means there is about ten centimeters left. Extended content: Methods to judge the front and rear distance are: 1. Front distance. From inside the car, if you can see the lower edge of the front vehicle's bumper, the distance to the front car is about one meter, and you should stop at this point. 2. Rear distance. The rear distance can be judged by observing through the rearview mirrors. The left rearview mirror is used to observe the left rear vehicle, the right rearview mirror for the right rear distance, and the center rearview mirror for the distance directly behind the car.

How to Perform Emergency Braking in a Car Equipped with ABS System?

For vehicles equipped with an ABS system, emergency braking requires firmly pressing the brake pedal. The ABS braking system, or "Anti-lock Braking System," initiates braking once the brake pedal is pressed. Just before the wheels are about to stop rotating, the ABS automatically releases the brakes. Immediately after releasing, the system reapplies the brakes, and this cycle repeats before the wheels come to a complete stop again. Functions of ABS: Maximize the effectiveness of the brakes, reducing braking time and distance. Effectively prevent vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring excellent driving stability. Allow steering during emergency braking, providing good maneuverability. Reduce tire wear by minimizing intense friction between the tires and the road. Working Principle: During braking, the ABS quickly determines if a wheel is about to lock based on signals from each wheel speed sensor. It closes the normally open input solenoid valve for the wheel at risk of locking to maintain braking force. If the wheel continues to lock, the system opens the normally closed output solenoid valve, rapidly reducing braking pressure on that wheel by diverting brake fluid to the reservoir, preventing complete wheel lockup. This ensures the braking state remains optimal (with a slip ratio S of 20%), achieving the best braking performance and maximum driving safety.

How Much Fuel Should Be Added to a Sedan?

When refueling a sedan, remember two percentages: 25% and 80%. You should refuel when the remaining fuel in the tank is at 25%, and filling it up to 80% is the most suitable. The 25% refers to the timing for refueling. When the fuel level drops to 1/4 of the tank's capacity, it's time to refuel. If you wait until the tank is nearly empty, the accumulated impurities at the bottom of the tank can be drawn into the fuel system, causing poor fuel delivery. Additionally, an almost empty tank tends to contain air, which can form condensation due to significant day-night temperature differences. This moisture can mix with the gasoline, leading to poor combustion. The 80% refers to the amount of fuel to add. For short trips in the city, there's no need to fill the tank completely, as this adds unnecessary weight to the vehicle and increases fuel consumption. Therefore, filling up to 80% is sufficient. The amount of fuel to add should also vary depending on the age of the vehicle. Newer cars generally have lower fuel consumption, so they require less fuel, which also helps in maintaining the vehicle better. As the vehicle ages, its fuel consumption will gradually increase. During this stage, the amount of fuel added should also be increased accordingly. In summary, the amount of fuel added each time is directly proportional to the age of the vehicle.
