Adding too much engine oil does have an impact, with the specific effects being: 1. Intense agitation occurs between engine components, leading to excessive engine load and resulting in power loss; 2. The oil splashes onto the cylinder walls and enters the intake system through the crankcase ventilation system, causing oil burning issues. The method for changing engine oil is: 1. Use a jack to lift the vehicle, locate the drain plug, and unscrew it to drain the oil; 2. After removing the oil filter, place a container beneath it; 3. Replace with a new oil filter and add new oil. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To reduce friction and high temperatures; 2. To cool and lower temperatures; 3. To clean and remove contaminants; 4. To dampen vibrations and cushion impacts; 5. To prevent rust and corrosion.

How to Remove Fog from Car Windows When It Rains Outside?

When it rains outside, the methods to remove fog from car windows are: 1. Air Conditioning Cooling Method, using the car air conditioner's cooling and dehumidification function to reduce air humidity and remove fog; 2. Air Conditioning Heating Method, using the car air conditioner to reduce the temperature difference and remove fog. There are two conditions for car window fogging when it rains: one is high humidity, and the other is low temperature. Under certain air humidity conditions, when the window temperature is lower than the dew point temperature, condensation forms on the window surface, which is the fogging phenomenon we often see on the windshield. Additionally, when there is a certain temperature difference on both sides of the window, and the saturated vapor pressure on the lower temperature surface is lower than the surrounding environment's vapor pressure, moisture gathers on the glass surface and forms tiny water droplets, creating fog. If the dew point temperature is above zero degrees Celsius, fogging occurs; if it is below zero degrees Celsius, frost forms.

What causes the car to feel sluggish and fail to accelerate when the throttle is pressed hard?

When a car feels sluggish and fails to accelerate upon pressing the throttle hard, it may be due to reasons such as excessive engine oil or overly high oil viscosity. Below is relevant information: 1. Poor fuel quality: Shortly after refueling, the engine warning light on the dashboard illuminates. This is usually caused by adding low-quality gasoline from non-standard gas stations, leading to insufficient combustion of the air-fuel mixture during engine operation and triggering the engine warning light. While this does not affect driving safety, it may harm the engine to some extent. 2. Oxygen sensor malfunction: Modern cars are equipped with two oxygen sensors, one before and one after the three-way catalytic converter. The front oxygen sensor detects the air-fuel ratio under different engine conditions, and the ECU adjusts fuel injection and calculates ignition timing based on this signal. The rear sensor primarily monitors the performance of the three-way catalytic converter. Therefore, if the oxygen sensor is damaged or the sensor connector is faulty or loose, it may cause the air-fuel mixture to become too lean or too rich.
