It is necessary to change antifreeze in winter in northern regions. The functions of automotive antifreeze: Automotive antifreeze provides anti-corrosion protection for cooling system components; prevents scale formation to avoid reducing the heat dissipation effect of the radiator; ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range. Precautions for using antifreeze: The antifreeze level needs to be checked regularly, and replenished promptly if it falls below the minimum level; observe whether the antifreeze has turbid sediments, and replace it in time if there are turbid substances; different vehicle models have different antifreeze colors, so they cannot be mixed; before winter, measure the freezing point of the antifreeze to prevent it from freezing.

What does an exclamation mark inside a Skoda bulb mean?

Yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the light fault indicator, indicating that there is a fault with the car lights. Solution: Go to a 4S store for inspection and repair as soon as possible. You can also check by yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting, to see where the problem lies. The exclamation mark is a common fault warning in cars. In addition to the yellow bulb with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation marks: an exclamation mark inside a triangle, an exclamation mark inside a yellow gear, an exclamation mark in the middle of a circle with brackets, and an exclamation mark in the middle of a line under brackets. The following is a detailed analysis: General fault: An exclamation mark inside a triangle. If this symbol lights up, it indicates that the car's general performance or components and functions have malfunctioned. Mainly includes parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or failure, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S store for inspection and repair to identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission fault: An exclamation mark inside a yellow gear. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating that there is a fault in the transmission or the transmission lubricating oil is below the normal range. The transmission oil needs to be replaced in time. Brake system fault: An exclamation mark in the middle of a circle with brackets. This represents a warning of the brake system, mainly including brake system failure and low brake fluid level. It is necessary to immediately inspect and repair the brake system to avoid accidents. Tire pressure abnormality: An exclamation mark in the middle of a line under brackets. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. When the car's tire pressure is too low, this warning light will come on. It is necessary to check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range.

What are the lubrication methods for an engine?

There are three lubrication methods for an engine: pressure lubrication, splash lubrication, and gravity lubrication. Pressure lubrication involves using an oil pump to forcibly deliver lubricating oil to various friction surfaces. This method is generally used for parts that experience significant force and relatively high movement speeds during operation. The lubrication intensity for engine components depends on their environment, relative movement speed, mechanical load, and thermal load. For periodic lubrication, grease is periodically applied to less critical and scattered parts, such as the engine water pump bearings, generator, starter, distributor, and other assemblies. This method can be used for such components.

How to Measure Engine Cylinder Pressure?

Engine cylinder pressure measurement method is: 1. Remove all spark plugs and reset the gauge to zero; 2. Start the engine, observe and record the first jump value indicated by the needle; 3. If uneven high and low readings occur during measurement, the lower value indicates the piston was not started at full intake and compression timing. Engine cylinder pressure requires proper cooling of the cylinder and cylinder head to ensure the inner surface operates normally under high temperatures. There are two cooling methods: water cooling and air cooling. Water-cooled engines have cooling water jackets around the cylinders and in the cylinder head, with interconnected cooling water passages between the cylinder block and cylinder head. The circulating coolant continuously removes heat to cool the cylinder and cylinder head.

Does parking at an angle with one side higher than the other have any impact?

Parking at an angle with one side higher than the other does have an impact. Detailed explanations are as follows: 1. Damage to the vehicle: Parking with one side higher than the other can damage the car. 2. Tire aging: Long-term parking in this manner can cause uneven force distribution among the four tires, leading to stress concentration and accelerating the aging of the tires on the side with higher stress. 3. Alteration of vehicle alignment parameters: Parking at an angle causes the suspension system to experience stretching or compression due to stress concentration. Prolonged stretching and compression can result in irreversible plastic deformation of the suspension system, thereby changing the vehicle's alignment parameters.
