Does a New Car's Exhaust Pipe Need Anti-Rust Spray?

New car exhaust pipes do not require anti-rust spray. Exhaust System: The exhaust system generally consists of an exhaust manifold (header), exhaust pipe, flexible connection (bellows), catalytic converter, and muffler. The exhaust system is almost horizontally arranged along the chassis, but the exhaust manifold is connected to the engine and is positioned higher vertically compared to other components of the exhaust system. When water just submerges the exhaust pipe, it cannot enter the engine cylinders. After the water recedes, the water level in the exhaust pipe will definitely drop again, meaning the farther from the exhaust outlet, the lower the water level. At this point, starting the car will not cause water in the exhaust pipe to be sucked back into the engine. After the water recedes, pay attention to the following starting method: Start the car by turning the ignition, but do not press the accelerator and let it idle. During this time, a lot of water will be expelled from the exhaust pipe until it stops dripping. This process won't take long, about 8 minutes.

Are there more manual transmission cars or automatic transmission cars now?

Nowadays, mid-to-high-end cars are basically automatic transmission or semi-automatic. In fact, the real driving pleasure comes from manual transmission. Generally, commuter cars or vehicles that are not too expensive are mostly manual transmission, because automatic transmission gearboxes are expensive and have high maintenance costs. Economical cars mostly have manual transmissions (good for saving fuel), while high-end models mostly have automatic transmissions (convenient for bosses who don't want trouble), and sports cars mostly have manual transmissions (better for speed pursuit). In the future, with the popularization of new energy vehicles and the gradual phasing out of fuel vehicles, manual transmissions will no longer exist.

Does a car need a wheel alignment after replacing a tire?

Replacing a tire does not require a wheel alignment. Here are some considerations after replacing a car tire: 1. After replacing a tire, wheel balancing is necessary, which is unrelated to wheel alignment. If the vehicle does not pull to one side while driving and the steering wheel remains straight, then alignment is not needed. However, wheel balancing is essential; otherwise, the car may experience shaking during driving. 2. If you notice heavy steering, shaking, pulling to one side, misalignment, failure to return to center, or abnormal tire wear such as uneven wear, scalloped wear, block wear, or edge wear, or if you experience floating, bumping, or swaying sensations while driving, it is advisable to check the wheel alignment values to see if they are significantly off and to perform repairs promptly.
