Using a large medical syringe, an IV plastic tube, or a mineral water bottle, wait for the engine to cool down, then open the oil cap to extract the excess. Methods for extracting excess engine oil: 1. Excess oil can be siphoned out. Purchase an 80cm long transparent tube from a hardware store (about the size of a chopstick tip), insert it into the oil dipstick tube, and use your mouth to suck; 2. When the oil reaches about two-thirds of the tube's length, seal the top end and pull out the tube to drain the oil. Repeat this process multiple times to remove the excess oil from the oil pan; 3. Excessive oil can seep into the combustion chamber through the gap between the cylinder and piston, forming carbon deposits. These deposits increase the likelihood of engine knocking and, over time, can cause internal damage to the engine.

Does Not Changing Transmission Fluid Increase Fuel Consumption?

Whether not changing transmission fluid increases fuel consumption depends on the situation: manual transmissions are unaffected, while automatic transmissions will consume more fuel if the fluid is not changed. Effects of not changing transmission fluid: 1. Reduced lubrication; 2. Causes transmission overheating; 3. Leads to internal transmission blockage. Signs that transmission fluid needs changing: 1. Decreased engine power; 2. Difficulty starting in low gears; 3. Gear shifts feel jerky and unsteady, with unusual noises from the transmission; 4. Transmission overheating. Transmission fluid, also known as gear oil, is used inside the transmission to deliver power through hydraulic pressure to the gears while also providing lubrication and cleaning functions. Its quality directly affects the transmission's operational performance.

What Happens When a Car Engine Overheats?

Engine overheating can lead to a decrease in engine power, further reducing the engine's air charging coefficient, which results in a reduced amount of fresh air-fuel mixture entering the cylinders and a lower average effective pressure in the cylinders. It can also cause damage to the engine's cylinder head gasket. If the cylinder head gasket is damaged, coolant may enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion, with a certain probability of bending the connecting rod. Causes of engine overheating include: 1. A malfunctioning cooling system fan leading to high engine temperature. 2. A stuck thermostat in the engine cooling system causing high engine temperature. 3. A damaged water pump in the engine cooling system resulting in high engine temperature. 4. Excessive dirt on the radiator surface of the engine cooling system leading to poor heat dissipation and high engine temperature.
