Crankcase oil should be changed every 3 years. Definition of crankcase: The lower part of the cylinder block where the crankshaft is installed is called the crankcase, which is divided into the upper crankcase and the lower crankcase. Function scope of crankcase: The upper crankcase is cast integrally with the cylinder block, while the lower crankcase is used to store lubricating oil and seal the upper crankcase, hence it is also called the oil pan. The oil pan bears minimal force and is generally made of stamped thin steel plates. Its shape depends on the overall layout of the engine and the capacity of the engine oil. The oil pan is equipped with an oil stabilizing baffle to prevent excessive oil surface fluctuations when the car is bumpy. The bottom of the oil pan also has a drain plug, which is usually equipped with a permanent magnet to adsorb metal particles in the lubricating oil, reducing engine wear. A gasket is installed between the joint surfaces of the upper and lower crankcases to prevent lubricating oil leakage.

At what distance should you switch to low beam when facing oncoming vehicles?

When driving at night, you should switch to low beam when the distance to the oncoming vehicle is within 150 meters. Here is some relevant information about adjusting car lights: 1. Adjustment of low beam: The adjustment of vehicle lights usually involves the left-right and height alignment of the low beam. This can be done using the knobs located at the rear of the headlight assembly, and car owners can adjust the lights themselves with the appropriate tools. 2. Headlight adjustment: Lift the engine hood and locate the adjustment knobs at the rear of the headlight assembly. Use the corresponding tools to make adjustments. Before adjusting, determine whether the knob controls left-right or up-down alignment. Park the vehicle directly facing a wall at a distance of about 10 meters, observe the height of the left and right lights, and use tape or other markers for measurement and comparison if necessary, then proceed with the adjustment.

Will Alcohol Left in a Car Spontaneously Combust in Summer?

Leaving alcohol in a car during summer can lead to spontaneous combustion, which is extremely dangerous. Here are relevant details about alcohol: 1. Ignition Point: Medical alcohol with a concentration of 75% has an ignition point of 20 degrees Celsius. During summer, outdoor temperatures at noon can exceed 40 degrees Celsius, and if a car is parked outdoors under direct sunlight, the interior temperature can reach over 50 degrees Celsius, making it highly susceptible to spontaneous combustion and explosion of alcohol. Alcohol left in a car under direct sunlight can explode. 2. Risk of Explosion: Alcohol is a flammable and explosive substance. In a sealed car compartment exposed to sunlight, temperatures can soar to 50-60 degrees Celsius. Without air circulation, encountering an open flame or flammable materials (such as a lit cigarette) can trigger an explosion. If stored in a glass container, sunlight can create a magnifying glass effect, focusing light and igniting the alcohol, which is highly likely to cause an explosion.

What Causes Oil Leakage from the BMW Valve Cover Gasket?

BMW valve cover gasket oil leakage causes: Oil leakage at the valve cover gasket may be due to uneven screw pressure, excessive screw pressure, deformation of the valve cover gasket, blockage of the crankcase forced ventilation valve, or poor quality of the sealing ring and sealant. The valve cover gasket is primarily used to seal and prevent oil leakage. Since the material of the valve cover gasket is mostly rubber, it inevitably hardens and ages over time, leading to oil leakage. The BMW 5 Series is a large and mid-size sedan under BMW. Taking the 2021 525Li Luxury Package as an example, its body dimensions are 5106mm in length, 1868mm in width, and 1500mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3105mm.
