Fully synthetic engine oil is suitable for general vehicles. The functions of fully synthetic engine oil are: 1. Between the piston and cylinder of the engine, as well as between the main shaft and bearing bush, there is rapid relative sliding. The engine oil forms a sufficiently thick oil film between the two sliding surfaces to separate the relatively sliding parts and reduce wear; 2. It takes heat back to the oil tank and dissipates it into the air, helping the radiator to cool the engine; 3. It circulates carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles on engine parts back to the oil tank, flushing away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of the lubricating oil; 4. It provides shock absorption and cushioning when the pressure at the engine cylinder port rises sharply, suddenly increasing the load on the piston, piston pin, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearings. The load is transmitted through the bearing lubrication to cushion the impact load.

What's the matter with ABS and vehicle stability control malfunction?

It may be that the vehicle's anti-skid module and actuator have malfunctioned. It is recommended to contact a local authorized dealer for inspection. ABS: ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. Its function is to automatically control the braking force during vehicle braking, preventing the wheels from locking up and maintaining a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio of about 20%), ensuring maximum adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. Vehicle Stability System: Its function is to monitor the driving state of the vehicle. When insufficient steering or oversteering occurs during emergency obstacle avoidance or turning, it prevents the vehicle from deviating from the ideal trajectory.

Is White Smoke from the Engine a Sign of Cylinder Scoring?

White smoke from the engine is not a sign of cylinder scoring. The emission of milky white oil mist from the exhaust pipe is mainly caused by poor fuel vaporization, where unburned fuel is expelled through the exhaust pipe, forming a milky white smoke. This is more common when starting the engine in winter due to low temperatures and poor fuel atomization. Typically, this smoke disappears as the engine warms up after starting. If the exhaust pipe emits a large amount of water vapor and white smoke, with water droplets at the exhaust pipe outlet, it is caused by coolant leaking into the cylinder or water vapor formed due to moisture in the gasoline. Details are as follows. When the engine is running and the exhaust pipe emits a large amount of water vapor and white smoke: Check if there is water in the fuel tank, inspect whether the cylinder gasket is damaged, if there are cracks in the cylinder block, and if the cylinder sleeve sealing ring is in good condition. When a car parked in winter or during the rainy season is started for the first time, white smoke is often visible: Once the engine temperature rises, the white smoke will disappear, and this condition does not require repair. If the exhaust pipe emits black smoke after the engine warms up, it indicates that the cylinder pressure is too low or a specific cylinder is not working, and it should be checked and addressed. Friction between the cylinder sleeve and piston: Friction between the main bearing, connecting rod bearing, and crankshaft journal due to insufficient oil can cause high surface temperatures in the moving parts, leading to surface scoring or scratching (cylinder scoring or bearing seizure) and producing white smoke. This condition does not require repair.

What Causes the Tire Pressure Monitoring to Be Currently Unavailable?

Tire pressure monitoring may currently be unavailable due to low transmission strength, insufficient receiver sensitivity, signal interference, depleted module battery, obstruction at the module inspection port preventing detection, module pairing failure, or module damage. If the issue lies with the module, the general solution is to replace the entire tire pressure monitoring module. The tire pressure monitoring system is an active safety device that alerts the driver in time when signs of tire danger appear, prompting them to take appropriate measures to avoid serious accidents. It ensures that tires operate within the specified pressure and temperature range at all times, reducing tire damage and extending their lifespan. Classification of tire pressure monitoring systems: Indirect tire pressure monitoring system: Determines tire abnormalities by analyzing differences in tire rotation speed. Direct tire pressure monitoring system: Equips each tire with a pressure sensor to monitor tire pressure and temperature in real-time, whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion. It provides timely alerts for high pressure, low pressure, or high temperature to prevent traffic accidents caused by tire failures, ensuring driving safety.

Are the window trims on factory cars glued on?

The window trims on factory cars are generally glued on. When installing window trims, it is essential to use high-quality adhesive; otherwise, these trims may fall off during use. Window trims, also known as window moldings, are automotive accessories installed around the edges of car windows for decorative and wind-blocking purposes. High-quality window trims are usually made of stainless steel. Window trims enhance the car's appearance, significantly improving strength, hardness, and wear resistance while reducing plasticity and toughness. Chromium can increase the steel's oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, providing protection for plastic parts. The reason for white spots appearing on car trims is the disappearance of the chromium plating layer, caused by harsh driving conditions, prolonged exposure to rainwater, or high salt content in the air.

What does 400cc mean?

400cc refers to the displacement of a motorcycle engine being 400 milliliters. Meaning of displacement: Displacement, a specialized term in hydraulic transmission, refers to the volume of fluid inhaled or discharged per stroke or cycle. Engine displacement is an important parameter for measuring a vehicle. Some domestic cars may not have the vehicle model marked as above, but their displacement is usually indicated on the body or rear of the car. Economy: The engine's displacement determines the fuel consumption of the car. The larger the displacement, the higher the fuel consumption and the stronger the power. However, small-displacement engines generally have poorer adaptability.

What are the pros and cons of changing from 14-inch to 16-inch rims?

Pros and cons of changing from 14-inch to 16-inch rims are as follows: Advantages: Alters the odometer data, making the actual speed faster than displayed. However, replacing with excessively large rims offers little benefit to tires and is not recommended. Disadvantages: Increases the load on the steering gear, potentially causing premature failure; raises the engine load, making the car feel sluggish during acceleration; elevates the car body, increasing ground clearance, which can alter the original aerodynamics at high speeds, leading to reduced stability; increases the load on the braking system, causing brake pads and discs to underperform and requiring earlier replacement.
