What are the symptoms of a turbocharger consuming engine oil?

Symptoms of a turbocharger consuming engine oil include a decrease in the engine oil level and slight blue smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. Introduction to Engine Oil: Currently, engine oils are categorized into three types: conventional mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. Engine oils are primarily classified by quality grades such as SG, SJ, SL, SM, and SP, with SP being the highest grade that meets the oil requirements for most vehicle engines.

Is there a concept of wrong-way traffic on sidewalks?

Sidewalks do not have a concept of wrong-way traffic. Here are the relevant details: 1. Regulations: When riding bicycles, electric bicycles, or tricycles across a motor vehicle lane on a road section, riders should dismount and walk. At sections with pedestrian crossings or pedestrian crossing facilities, they should use these designated paths. In sections without pedestrian crossings, crossing facilities, or where such facilities are inconvenient to use, riders should proceed straight after ensuring safety. 2. Sidewalk: A sidewalk refers to the part of the road separated by curbs, guardrails, or similar facilities, exclusively for pedestrian use, typically about four meters wide.

Will I get points deducted for driving 67 in a 60 speed limit zone?

No penalty will be imposed as exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% only results in a warning. Here are the hazards of speeding: 1. Steering wheel becomes unstable: Speeding increases the difference in airflow speed between the top and bottom of the vehicle body. This differential causes an upward lift force, reducing the vehicle's stability during driving, which is one of the main reasons for unstable steering. 2. Driving habits intensify: The faster the speed, the stronger the vehicle's inertia to maintain straight-line driving, leading to poorer directional control and significantly increased risks. If an emergency occurs ahead, it will be difficult to control the vehicle in a short time, resulting in unimaginable consequences.

What Items Need to Be Affixed to a New Car?

New cars require the following items to be affixed: vehicle inspection compliance label, compulsory traffic insurance label, and temporary vehicle license plate. Temporary Vehicle License Plate: Two temporary license plates should be affixed simultaneously. One should be placed in the upper right corner of the front windshield inside the car, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, and should not be covered by labels such as the compulsory insurance label. The other should be affixed in the upper left corner of the rear windshield inside the car. For other types of vehicles where installation conditions are limited, only one temporary license plate is required, but it should be affixed in the lower left or lower right corner of the front windshield inside the car, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, to ensure driving safety. Vehicle Annual Inspection Label: The upper right corner of the front windshield should display not only the annual inspection compliance label but also the environmental protection label and insurance label. According to traffic regulations, all vehicles on the road must affix the current year's inspection label in a prominent position on the upper right corner of the front windshield.
