Engine oil leakage is not a major problem, but it is harmful. The following are the hazards of oil leakage and an introduction to engine maintenance: Hazards of engine oil leakage: Engine oil leakage is harmful, with the main hazard being the loss of oil, which leads to waste, insufficient oil levels, and engine damage. The damage is not caused by the leakage itself but by the insufficient oil pressure resulting from the leakage. Therefore, it is essential to closely monitor the oil level. Some vehicle models have oil level displays, which prevent the oil level from unknowingly dropping below the normal range. Engine maintenance: The three filters and oil in a car need to be replaced. In the routine maintenance of vehicles with gasoline engines, the most frequently replaced items are the three filters and the engine oil. The three filters refer to the gasoline filter, air filter, and oil filter. These filters prevent impurities from entering the engine, which could cause abnormal wear or operation of the engine.

What are the symptoms of aging ignition coils?

Ignition coil aging manifests as follows: Engine vibration: During operation, the engine may exhibit intermittent shaking, accompanied by symptoms such as sluggish acceleration. Increased fuel consumption and reduced power: As the spark plug's firing capability weakens, the combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the engine becomes incomplete, leading to adverse effects like increased fuel consumption and decreased power. Excessive carbon buildup: Weakened spark plug firing capability results in incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture. This incomplete combustion produces a carbonaceous deposit called carbon buildup, and black smoke may also emerge from the vehicle's exhaust pipe.

What Causes Front Wheel Pulsation During Hard Braking?

Generally, brake pulsation may be related to the brake caliper, master cylinder, brake disc, brake pads, or flange plate. Here is relevant information: 1. Emergency braking: Emergency braking refers to simultaneously pressing both the brake pedal and clutch pedal (for manual transmission vehicles) during hard braking. If only the brake pedal is pressed, the braking force must overcome two factors: the vehicle's kinetic energy and the engine's traction force. 2. Specific effects: When braking hard, the ABS braking assist system and EPS electronic stability system will activate to maintain normal vehicle operation. Occasional hard braking mainly causes greater wear on brake friction pads and tires, along with slightly increased fuel consumption during restarting, while other damages are negligible.
