Checking the engine oil level involves fully inserting the oil dipstick into the oil pan, then pulling it out to examine the oil traces on the dipstick. Here's relevant information about engine oil: 1. Functions of engine oil: It separates relatively sliding component surfaces to reduce wear; carries heat back to the oil tank and dissipates it into the air to assist the radiator in cooling the engine. 2. Replacement interval: Engine oil should be changed every 6 months or 5,000 kilometers. Engine oil is the lubricant used in engines, composed of base oil and additives. It serves multiple purposes including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing against leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, as well as shock absorption.

What is a car speedometer?

Car speedometer is an application used to view the driving speed, supporting both miles per hour or kilometers per hour units. The speedometer function requires strong GPS signal support, and can display speeds up to 220 kilometers per hour. Many car dashboards now use electronic speedometers, with a common type obtaining signals from the speed sensor on the transmission, causing the pointer to deflect or display numbers through changes in pulse frequency. Here is more related information: Traditional speedometer: The traditional speedometer is a typical mechanical odometer connected to a flexible shaft containing a steel cable. The other end of the flexible shaft is connected to a gear on the transmission. The rotation of the gear drives the steel cable to rotate, which in turn drives a magnet inside the odometer housing to rotate. The housing is connected to the pointer and positions the pointer at zero through a hairspring. The speed of the magnet's rotation causes changes in the size of the magnetic field lines, disrupting the balance and thus moving the pointer. This type of speedometer is simple and practical, widely used in vehicles of all sizes. However, with the development of electronic technology.
