Engine oil is not added directly into the engine, but rather into the valve cover chamber through a dedicated oil filler tube. Adding oil directly into the engine can be corrosive to the machinery. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil forms the primary constituent of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the performance shortcomings of the base oil, providing additional beneficial characteristics. Additives are an essential part of engine lubricants.

Where is the car fuel pump located?

The car fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank. It primarily relies on an electric motor to drive turbine blades and centrifugal force, drawing fuel in through the intake port and discharging it through the outlet port. The functions of the car fuel pump are: 1. To draw fuel from the fuel tank and deliver it continuously to the engine at a certain pressure through the fuel supply line; 2. To provide secondary pressurization via a high-pressure fuel pump and supply a measured amount of fuel to each cylinder according to the engine's firing order. Maintenance methods for the car fuel pump include: 1. Using high-quality engine oil; 2. Regularly cleaning the fuel pump filter and fuel tank; 3. Ensuring the fuel tank has an adequate amount of fuel.

What is Considered as Inventory Car?

According to the default "inventory car" standard in the automotive industry, an "inventory car" refers to a commercial vehicle that has been in stock for more than 6 months (imported cars are calculated separately). Below is some information about inventory cars: 1. The reason for setting 6 months as the standard is that the shelf life of most engine oils and some wearable parts is only 6 months. Although exceeding this period does not necessarily cause problems, there are risks involved. Therefore, the automotive industry internally sets the inventory age standard for "inventory cars" at 6 months because vehicles that have been in stock for more than 6 months require more attention when being sold. 2. Generally, new cars with an inventory age of less than 9 months have no mechanical issues. The possible problems are related to external components, such as paint damage (especially from bird droppings or rain marks on white paint).

What does a sunroof look like?

A car sunroof is a window installed on the roof of a vehicle. More details about car sunroofs are as follows: 1. The function of a car sunroof is to effectively circulate air inside the vehicle, allowing for better air exchange and providing the owner with a healthy and comfortable experience. In terms of size, sunroofs can be divided into standard sunroofs and panoramic sunroofs. 2. A standard sunroof is basically a small space above the front seats, typically covering an area of 0.2-0.3 square meters; a panoramic sunroof is much larger, offering an unobstructed view of the sky from inside the car. 3. Based on the opening mechanism, there are two types: pop-up sunroofs and inbuilt sunroofs. A pop-up sunroof tilts and slides outward from the rear along guide rails; an inbuilt sunroof retracts into the interior of the car.

What to Do When There is Frost on the Car Windows?

Here are the solutions for frost on car windows: 1. Open the window: The formation of frost is caused by the temperature difference between the cold outside and the warm inside. In most cases, the interior temperature is higher, especially when the car is full of passengers, leading to rapid frost formation. Opening the window for ventilation allows air to circulate between the inside and outside of the car, alleviating the frost on the windows. 2. Turn on the warm air conditioning: When the vehicle's water temperature rises to a certain level, you can turn on the warm air conditioning directed at the front windshield and enable the external circulation mode. This helps reduce the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the windshield, achieving a defrosting effect. 3. Wipe with a towel: During winter, when the car is parked outside overnight, the windows are often covered with frost. The most effective solution is to use a clean towel to wipe and remove the frost from the windows. 4. Professional glass anti-frost spray: Professional glass anti-frost sprays can be directly applied to the windows, forming a transparent protective film that effectively prevents moisture from condensing on the glass. Typically, one application of such a spray can last for about a week. 5. Homemade anti-frost solution: Car owners can dilute household dishwashing liquid with water at a ratio of 1:6, or mix shampoo, body wash, etc., with water at a ratio of about 1:10. Then, use a soft cloth to apply the solution to the car windows. After the solution dries, wipe it clean with a dry cloth.

Does the Anti-Skid Light Indicate the System is Turned Off or On?

The anti-skid light being illuminated indicates that the anti-skid system is turned off. Here is some relevant information about the anti-skid system: 1. The vehicle's anti-skid system is another set of anti-skid control systems following ABS, serving as a further development and supplement to the ABS system. These two systems work together to form the vehicle's active safety driving system. The main purpose of the anti-skid system is to prevent the drive wheels from slipping during vehicle startup and acceleration, effectively maintaining the stability of the vehicle's direction of travel and controlling the slip within a certain range, thereby preventing the slipping wheels from rapidly losing control of the vehicle's direction. 2. One of the functions of the anti-skid system is to improve the vehicle's traction, and the second is to maintain the vehicle's driving stability. Vehicles equipped with the anti-skid system are less prone to losing directional control, and when turning, the drive wheels do not slip, preventing the vehicle from veering to one side.

Reasons for Car Shaking in First Gear

Reasons for car shaking in first gear: Excessive wear of the clutch pressure plate. Solution for car shaking in first gear: Replace the clutch press at a repair shop or 4S store. More information about the clutch pressure plate is as follows: 1. The clutch pressure plate is an important structure on the clutch, which plays a significant role in driving safety. 2. The widely used type is the spring-loaded friction clutch (referred to as friction clutch). The torque generated by the engine is transmitted to the driven plate through the friction between the flywheel, pressure plate, and the contact surface of the driven plate. When the driver presses the clutch pedal, the diaphragm spring's large end moves the pressure plate backward through mechanical transmission, separating the driven part from the driving part.
