Car engine oil should be added between the marks on the dipstick, preferably just below the upper limit. Here are some related points: 1. Do not overfill: Overfilling engine oil may lead to leakage risks due to vehicle movement and jolts. 2. Proper selection: When choosing engine oil, consider factors such as the car model, season, climate, engine displacement, and technical performance. Selecting the right engine oil provides a better working environment for the car and helps prevent malfunctions related to oil issues.

Which region does the license plate 'Liang' belong to?

Currently, there is no license plate with the designation 'Liang' in China. Chinese license plate codes consist of 2 characters, comprising a Chinese character and an English letter. The Chinese character represents the abbreviation of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government, while the English letter denotes the code of the vehicle management office. The license plate number consists of 6 characters, which can be Arabic numerals or a combination of Arabic numerals and English letters. License plates, commonly known as car plates, are panels hung on the front and rear of vehicles, typically made of aluminum, sheet iron, plastic, or paper, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. License plates can be categorized into: large vehicle license plates, trailer license plates, small vehicle license plates, Hong Kong and Macau entry/exit vehicle license plates, and driving school vehicle license plates.

What are the symptoms of a faulty water temperature sensor?

The symptoms of a faulty water temperature sensor are: 1. The water temperature gauge needle may stop moving; 2. The water temperature gauge needle may directly point to the highest position; 3. It may also cause inaccurate water temperature detection. Most cars use water-cooled engines, which rely on the continuous circulation of coolant to remove excess heat. Water-cooled engines are equipped with water temperature sensors to monitor the coolant temperature. The function of the water temperature sensor is to convert the coolant temperature into an electrical signal, which is then input into the ECU. This has the following effects: 1. Adjusting the fuel injection quantity—increasing the fuel injection amount at low temperatures; 2. Adjusting the ignition timing—increasing the ignition advance angle at low temperatures and retarding it at high temperatures to prevent knocking; 3. Affecting the idle control valve—the ECU controls the idle control valve based on the water temperature sensor signal at low temperatures to increase the idle speed; 4. Affecting the EGR valve.

Should I register before or after modifying the front bumper?

Modifying the front bumper does not require registration; you can proceed with the modification directly. Vehicle modifications that do not require registration include: Installation of front and rear anti-collision devices on small and mini passenger vehicles. Installation of windshields, water tanks, toolboxes, spare tire racks, etc., on cargo vehicles. Addition of interior decorations to motor vehicles. Prohibited vehicle modifications include: Modifications to the powertrain, lighting, controls, exhaust emissions, cooling, braking, soundproofing, suspension, steering system, exterior structure, and wheel rims (cambered wheels). According to Article 57 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles," unauthorized changes to the vehicle's appearance and registered technical specifications may result in the traffic management authorities ordering restoration to the original condition, along with a warning or fine.

Why is there a friction sound when stepping on the accelerator?

The following are the reasons for the friction sound when stepping on the accelerator: 1. Car half-shaft failure: Due to long-term torsional fatigue and impact forces, the car's half-shaft is prone to bending, twisting, breaking, as well as wear or skewing of the spline teeth. This can cause the car to shake rhythmically in a certain speed range when accelerating, accompanied by a clicking sound. The shaking disappears or lessens when the accelerator is released. 2. Loose engine belt: A slipping belt will produce a hissing sound. Once the belt slips, it leads to friction and high temperatures, causing the belt to stretch further, which worsens the slipping, creating a vicious cycle. In this case, it is necessary to go to a repair shop to adjust the belt.

What is the reason for the squeaking sound when releasing the clutch?

The reason for the squeaking sound when releasing the clutch is poor lubrication, wear, looseness, or damage to the clutch release bearing. It is necessary to add lubricating oil to the clutch release bearing or replace it in time. The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate and gradually engage the engine and the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power input from the engine to the transmission. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission, which can separate or engage the transmission system at any time.
