If it is thin, it is difficult to determine whether it is fake oil. Here is an introduction to engine oil knowledge: Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves multiple functions such as lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and 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 is the primary constituent of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the shortcomings of the base oil, providing additional performance characteristics. Additives are a crucial part of the lubricant. Requirements: As a type of machinery, engines share common requirements for lubricants with general machinery, such as appropriate viscosity, oxidation resistance, wear resistance, corrosion protection, and viscosity-temperature performance. However, engines are also unique machinery, and their requirements for lubricants have special aspects.

What are the effects of disconnecting the battery negative terminal?

Disconnecting the battery negative terminal will reset the system time, trip mileage, and driver habit information on the car to factory settings. After restarting the vehicle, you will need to reconfigure these settings according to your personal preferences. Some high-end models may also display fault codes, which can only be cleared by a technician at a 4S store or auto repair shop using specialized diagnostic equipment. If the battery is drained, the car will be difficult or even impossible to start. In such cases, you can use a battery charger or the jump-start method to recharge the battery. Jump-starting involves connecting the positive and negative terminals of the drained battery to another car's battery using jumper cables. During long-term parking, it's recommended to start the vehicle regularly—preferably once a week—and let it idle for a while to allow the alternator to charge the battery.

What to Do When Moisture and Fog Appear in the Rear Tail Lights?

When moisture and fog appear in the rear tail lights, the fog will usually dissipate through the vent tube as the light heats up after being turned on for a while. This generally does not damage the tail lights or electrical circuits. However, if large areas of fog condense on the inner surface of the lens and form droplets that flow down and accumulate inside the light, or if the fog repeatedly adheres to the surface of the lens when the tail lights heat up during prolonged or frequent use, this can be considered water ingress. Under normal circumstances, if moisture and fog inside the tail lights are caused by poor sealing, the fog will only dissipate if the vehicle is parked in a dry environment with less than 50% humidity for more than a day without turning on the lights.

How to Check Car Battery Drain with a Multimeter?

Method to check car battery drain with a multimeter: 1. First, turn off the car's ignition switch and wait for 5 to 10 minutes in the locked state to allow the vehicle to enter sleep mode; 2. Locate the negative battery terminal's tightening nut, loosen it with a wrench, then gently pry open the tightening block with a flat-head screwdriver before directly pulling out the negative terminal; 3. Set the multimeter to DC 10A or 20A range, connect the red probe to the vehicle's ground wire, and the black probe to the battery's negative terminal; 4. Observe the multimeter reading - if the value falls within the normal range, it indicates normal battery drain, whereas readings outside the normal range suggest a battery drain issue.
