Engine oil passages need to be cleaned. If you haven't finished running the engine at high speeds yet, you can wait until after the first maintenance to do so, and then perform an engine oil passage cleaning during the next maintenance. Additionally, engine cleaning should be done every time you perform maintenance. Below is some additional information: 1. Consequences of not cleaning the engine: If the engine is not cleaned, once it becomes clogged, it will affect the engine's performance. The dirt left on the internal parts of the engine will increase wear and tear on the engine components, leading to insufficient oil pressure, which can cause valve noise and engine sounds, thereby affecting the engine's lifespan. 2. Formation of carbon deposits: Due to the characteristics of electronic engine control, each time the cylinder operates, fuel is injected first before ignition. When the engine is turned off, the ignition is immediately cut off, but the fuel injected during this cycle cannot be recovered and instead adheres to the intake valve and combustion chamber walls. The fuel evaporates easily, but the wax and gum substances in the fuel remain. Over time, these substances accumulate and thicken, hardening upon repeated heating and forming carbon deposits.

What is the reason for the idle oil pressure light coming on but going off when revving the engine?

The idle oil pressure light coming on but going off when revving the engine is mostly caused by a faulty oil pump. The oil light, also known as the oil pressure light, illuminates when the oil pressure is insufficient. If the oil light comes on during idle, the engine should be shut down immediately, and the vehicle should not be driven. More information about the oil pump is as follows: 1. The function of the oil pump: The oil pump is driven by the crankshaft via a belt or gear. When the engine starts, the oil pump begins working. The oil pump is responsible for delivering oil from the oil pan through the oil passages to the upper parts such as the camshaft, ensuring sufficient lubrication for high-speed moving parts. 2. Classification: Oil pumps come in two types: rotor pumps and gear pumps, providing about 300kPa of pressure at idle. When the oil pressure is too low, some parts may not receive enough lubrication, leading to increased wear.

What are the reasons for sudden black screen in car reversing camera?

The reasons for black screen in reversing camera display mainly include three points. Below is a detailed introduction about these three reasons: 1. Aging of video power cable: When the video power cable ages, you should promptly try to replace it with a new one. 2. Wiring issues: This is the problem with the highest failure rate, because the wiring harness of the reversing camera runs from the instrument panel all the way to the trunk, which is a long route and can easily lead to poor contact at a certain point of the wiring harness or plug. 3. Prolonged use of the reversing camera: When the reversing camera is used for too long, it can easily lead to poor chip photosensitivity, resulting in a black screen.

Can I Rent a Car Without a Driver's License?

You cannot rent a car without a driver's license, and driving without a license is considered unlicensed driving. Unlicensed driving can be divided into the following situations (any one of these can be considered unlicensed driving): 1. Not having obtained a driver's license: If a motor vehicle driver operates a motor vehicle without undergoing specialized driving training and passing the examination to obtain a driver's license, it is considered unlicensed driving. 2. Driving a vehicle beyond the approved driving category: If the type of vehicle driven exceeds the approved driving category specified on the driver's license, it is treated as unlicensed driving (for example, a person holding only a C license driving a B license vehicle, or a person holding only a B license driving an A license vehicle, etc.). 3. Not carrying a driver's license: If the driver does not carry a driver's license that matches the type of vehicle being driven, it is considered unlicensed driving.

What Does Road Force Test Mean?

Road force measurement is a new service in the automotive service industry, mimicking the equipment used in wheel assembly manufacturing plants to conduct the same measurements. Road force measurement can be used to address tire vibration issues caused by tire uniformity. The uniformity of the wheel is measured only under load conditions. More information on road force measurement is as follows: 1. Principle: Road force measurement simultaneously detects measurement deviations under load and no-load conditions, changes in tire force, and balance machine installation errors to achieve excellent wheel balance. 2. GSP700 Vibration Control System: With the increasing sensitivity of vehicles and improved ride quality in recent years, tire balancing alone is insufficient to eliminate vibration sources. The GSP700 Vibration Control System is a measurement and diagnostic tool that automatically detects potential vibration sources in wheels. As a diagnostic tool, the GSP700 reduces unnecessary tire and wheel replacements, significantly decreases the time required to identify and repair faults, and enhances ride quality.
