When the engine oil warning light comes on, you should pull over and stop immediately. Here are the relevant details: 1. The role of engine oil: Besides lubrication, another crucial function of engine oil is to cool mechanical components. If the oil warning light is on, it indicates insufficient oil. At this point, certain moving parts may experience dry friction, which can lead to rapid wear of mechanical components and may even cause the vehicle to be scrapped directly. 2. There are three scenarios for oil pressure warnings: (1) The warning occurs during engine startup and disappears shortly after normal startup. (2) High-temperature warning, where the warning does not occur at startup but appears during normal operation or high-speed driving. (3) Continuous warning, where the alert persists from startup through operation. Oil pressure warnings are not only related to the quality of the lubricating oil but also closely tied to the engine's condition. Factors such as the vehicle's age, mileage, clearance size, and the working condition of the oil pump and auxiliary systems should all be checked, analyzed, and judged without exception.

How Long Can You Drive When the Fuel Level is Low?

After the low fuel level warning light comes on, the vehicle can generally run for another 35-50 kilometers. Below are the relevant details: 1. Low fuel level: This means there is little gasoline left in the vehicle's fuel tank, and it needs to be refueled promptly. Typically, when the fuel gauge needle enters the red zone, the onboard computer will display a low fuel level warning, and the low fuel warning light will illuminate. Once the vehicle is refueled, the sensor detects the normal fuel level, and the "low fuel level" warning will automatically disappear. 2. Driving habits: The exact distance depends on the specific vehicle model and the driver's habits. Generally, after the low fuel level warning appears, the vehicle can still travel at least 20-50 kilometers, and some models may even reach up to 100 kilometers.

What is the correct method for starting and reversing an automatic transmission car?

First, press the foot brake with your foot, then shift the gear lever from neutral (N position) into reverse gear (R position). After shifting the gear lever, you can release the handbrake. Next, observe the intended reversing path through the rearview mirror. Gently lift the foot brake slightly, making sure to do so slowly. Once the path is clear, you can fully release the foot brake. The car will not move backward at this point. The driver needs to lightly press the accelerator while remaining ready to apply the foot brake at any time. After the car has reversed into the designated position, firmly press the foot brake. Then, engage the handbrake and shift the gear lever from reverse gear (R position) back to neutral (N position).

How Long Does It Take for Engine Oil to Turn White After Water Intrusion?

When a car's engine takes in water, the engine oil will turn white when the water content reaches about one-third of the oil volume. Below is an extended introduction about engine oil: 1. Development Background: In the mid-19th century, people had not yet recognized the importance of gasoline, and kerosene for lamps was widely used at that time. Oil refining relied on simple distillation processes to separate components with different boiling points from crude oil. Kerosene, with its higher boiling point, was safe for lamp use and became the primary product of crude oil refining, while gasoline and other components were often burned as fuel. 2. Carcinogenic Substances: On October 27, 2017, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) released a preliminary reference list of carcinogens, classifying engine exhaust and gasoline under Group 2B carcinogens.
