If the engine oil level warning light appears, you must not continue driving. At this time, you should add engine oil before resuming driving. Engine oil is referred to as the lifeblood of the engine. Without engine oil, the engine cannot operate normally. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The role of engine oil: Engine oil not only lubricates the engine but also cleans, seals, buffers, prevents rust, and dissipates heat. 2. Oil film formation: When the engine is running, engine oil forms a thin film on the surfaces of various engine components, preventing direct contact and friction between them. 3. Friction consequences: If engine components directly contact and cause friction, it will accelerate engine wear and may lead to overheating. 4. Purchasing engine oil and oil filters: Always choose genuine products from reputable brands and purchase them through official channels.

What does AUTOHOLD mean in Chinese on a car?

The Chinese meaning of AUTOHOLD on a car is forced gear lock. This button is mostly located on the gear shift, and its function is to adjust the car's efficient driving state according to different road conditions. If you are on extremely poor road conditions, this button can effectively prevent the transmission from frequently switching gears, and it can also play a role in forced downshifting when overtaking. When driving normally, if you need the AUTOHOLD button to work, simply press the AUTOHOLD button while in D gear, and the car's transmission will remain in the second, third, or fourth gear; when in third gear, pressing the AUTOHOLD button will keep the car in the second or third gear, and when in second gear, pressing the AUTOHOLD button will keep the car in second gear.

Can You Still Drive with a Leaking Fuel Tank?

If the car's fuel tank is continuously leaking gasoline, it should not be driven. Below is an extended introduction about gasoline: 1. Density: The specific gravity of gasoline ranges from 0.71 to 0.77. The higher the density, the larger the volume of aromatic hydrocarbons. The trading standard reference for marketable gasoline (in Europe) is 0.755 kg/L (6.30 lb/US gal), and its price fluctuates based on its actual density. Due to its low density, gasoline floats on water, so water cannot typically be used to extinguish fires unless in a fine mist. 2. Storage: If stored properly, high-quality gasoline should remain stable for six months. However, since gasoline is a mixture rather than a single compound, it will gradually degrade over time due to the separation of its components.

How to Check if a Tire is Retreaded?

Methods to check if a tire is retreaded: 1. Observe the tire's expiration date and production date. Generally, tires should not be stored for more than 3 years from the production date and should not be used for more than 8 years after installation. The production date is usually printed on the tire sidewall near the rim, represented by 4 digits; 2. Observe the tire tread pattern and color. In terms of tread depth, inferior retreaded tires have relatively shallow grooves, and retreaded tires often have an overly vibrant color; 3. Check the tire markings. Typically, the markings on retreaded tires are reapplied. If you can scratch off these markings with your fingernail, it is a retreaded tire. Some tires may also have a small triangle symbol printed on the outer side.

Can Car Covers Provide Sun Protection?

Car covers can provide sun protection. They are meticulously crafted from professional sun-proof fabrics to protect the vehicle. The materials used can completely block ultraviolet (UV) radiation, either absorbing or reflecting the UV rays. Functions of car covers: 1. They protect the car's paint from damage caused by bird droppings, acid rain, and other corrosive substances, while also preventing malicious harm; 2. Using a car cover can reduce the frequency of car washes and avoid damage to the paint from natural environmental factors; 3. Car covers can also prevent interior aging. When parked outdoors for extended periods in summer, the interior temperature of a car can reach between 60 to over 70 degrees Celsius. Prolonged exposure to such high temperatures can affect the quality and shorten the lifespan of the car's interior. With a car cover, the interior temperature remains around 30 to 40 degrees Celsius.
