Methods for changing engine oil without a lift: You can find a pit, drive the car over it, and then go down into the pit to change the oil. The owner can use an oil extraction machine to pump out the old oil and then add new oil. Engine oil is referred to as the lifeblood of the engine. Inside the engine, oil not only lubricates but also cools, seals, and cleans. Without oil, the engine cannot function properly. When changing the oil, make sure to drain the old oil as thoroughly as possible before adding new oil. Otherwise, the old oil can contaminate the new oil and reduce its performance. The oil level should be slightly below the mark on the dipstick, and avoid overfilling.

How to Check the Production Date of Car Tires?

Car tire production dates are generally indicated by a four-digit number, where the first two digits represent the production week and the last two digits represent the production year. For example, '2317' indicates the 23rd week of 2017. The production date is part of a series of alphanumeric characters starting with 'DOT,' which stands for the U.S. Department of Transportation certification. The following numbers and letters represent the tire's origin information and factory code, while the last four digits indicate the production date. The shelf life of tires is typically around 4 to 5 years. Even if the tires have low mileage, they should be replaced once they exceed their shelf life. When purchasing tires, pay attention to the production date and try to avoid buying tires that have been stored for more than 3 years. Since tires are made of rubber, they will degrade over time, leading to reduced performance. If cracks appear, there is a higher risk of tire blowouts, which can compromise driving safety.

How to Repair a Swollen Battery?

It cannot be repaired. The internal changes of the battery have caused the casing to swell and deform. After repair, it cannot meet the original technical standards and poses safety hazards. If it only heats up slightly during normal charging and has minor swelling, it should be fine temporarily, but the best solution is to replace it with a new battery to ensure safety. Many electric vehicle fires are related to this issue. If the battery is swollen, it should not be used further, as charging can also be dangerous. The reasons for lead-acid battery swelling include: 1. Charger parameters: Mismatched charger parameters causing thermal runaway during charging, leading to battery swelling. 2. Quality issues: Problems with the internal electrode groups, such as micro-short circuits or lack of acid, can also cause thermal runaway and swelling of the battery.

What is the reason for the sudden mute and no sound from the Audi car media?

Audi A3 audio suddenly muting is due to the infotainment system freezing; you need to shut down the system or restore factory settings. There might be an issue with the multimedia control buttons. Check if they are stuck or short-circuited. If used for a long time, the multimedia system may malfunction due to overheating. It could also be caused by the CD player running empty, wiring issues, or accidentally pressing the mute button. You can find the volume adjustment knob in the vehicle's center console. Turn the switch knob to the right and adjust it to the maximum. Press the voice control button on the right side of the multifunction steering wheel and hold it for five seconds. Press the vehicle's one-touch start button to turn off the engine, then press it again to restart the engine. At this point, the vehicle's mute function should be restored. Another simple method is to turn off the engine and restart it to eliminate the mute. If the 3GMMI shutdown interface does not display the Audi logo, modify the 5F information control unit coding, restart, and then revert to the original coding. If the 3GMMI playback source does not show DVD, SD, CD, or Juxbook (grayed out and unreadable), it indicates J794 damage and requires replacement. If the 3GMMI navigation interface appears in English, adjust the MMI interface to English and then switch it back. If the 3GMMI system occasionally freezes, goes black, or has no sound, upgrade the system. If ineffective, replace J794 to fix the issue. If the 3GMMI system performs navigation initialization when the car is cold, upgrade the system. If ineffective, replace J794 to fix the issue.
