It is normal for the engine to remain hot several hours after the car is turned off. Below is a brief introduction about the engine: 1. Basic Information: An engine (Engine) is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy. The first external combustion engine was invented by R. Stirling of the UK (Scotland) in 1816, which was later improved by Watt into the steam engine. 2. Applicable Devices: Engines can be used as power generation devices or refer to the entire machine including the power unit (e.g., gasoline engines, aircraft engines). Their types include internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines), gas turbines (used in racing cars), electric motors, etc.

It's quite common for my car's engine hood to still feel hot to the touch even after being turned off for four or five hours. After long-distance driving or during hot summer days, a large chunk of metal like the engine dissipates heat slowly and might take half a day to cool down. As long as there's no burning smell or smoke, it's usually fine. I've also noticed that parking in the shade or opening the windows for ventilation can help speed up the cooling process. Next time after a highway drive, don't rush to touch the engine—just wait it out.

Why Are There Ants in the Car?

Ants may enter the car if they find something they like, such as cookies, sweets, etc. Avoid parking the car on lawns or hills, as these are areas where ants are active. Below are relevant solutions: 1. Solution: To remove ants from the car, take a piece of newspaper and place a piece of milk candy on it. Let the candy melt under the sun, then place the newspaper with the melted candy in an area of the car where ants are most active. Since ants are attracted to sweets, they will gradually gather on the candy. Once a significant number of ants have gathered, simply discard the newspaper. If ants remain in the car, repeat the process. 2. Prevention: Maintain cleanliness inside the car—this is the most important point. Never leave fruit peels or garbage in the car, as this directly attracts insects. Additionally, avoid keeping fruits in the car. Some people might place apples in the car to freshen the air, unaware that fruits may contain insect eggs that hatch and appear in the car later.

Are Gasoline Filters and Oil Filters the Same?

They are fundamentally different. The oil filter is used to filter impurities in the engine oil, while the gasoline filter is used to filter impurities in the gasoline. However, the purpose of both gasoline filters and oil filters is the same—to filter out impurities in the oil and gasoline, ensuring that the fuel entering the engine can function properly. Additional information: The replacement cycle for gasoline filters is relatively long. If high-quality gasoline is used, they generally need to be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. If low-quality gasoline is used, they should be replaced every 10,000 kilometers. The replacement cycle for oil filters is shorter. Oil filters typically need to be replaced every 5,000 kilometers or so.

Should You Press the Brake or Clutch When Reversing into a Parking Space?

When reversing into a parking space, you should use the clutch to control the speed. It is best not to press the brake, as some computers may misinterpret it as stopping. Here is some additional information: 1. Reversing into a parking space: Since 2013, reversing into a parking space has been a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license. It assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a confined space. Reversing into a parking space is a key evaluation point in the driver's test, requiring the driver to correctly reverse the vehicle into the garage from both sides while in motion. 2. Evaluation criteria: Failing to follow the designated route or sequence results in disqualification; having the vehicle body cross the line, failing to park properly, or stopping midway also leads to disqualification; taking more than 4 minutes to complete the maneuver results in disqualification.

Can a New Car Be Returned Due to Steering Deviation?

No. According to legal regulations: Within the three-year warranty period for household automobiles, if the cumulative repair time due to product quality issues exceeds 35 days, or if the same product quality issue has been repaired more than 5 times, the consumer can request a replacement from the seller with the warranty certificate and purchase invoice. Note: The car can be returned if the engine still malfunctions after two replacements. Within the warranty period, if there have been two repairs for serious safety performance failures and the issue remains unresolved or a new serious safety performance failure occurs; if the engine or transmission has been replaced twice; or if the same major component of the steering system, braking system, suspension system, front/rear axle, or body has been replaced twice due to quality issues and still does not function properly, the consumer can choose to return the car, and the seller must accept the return. If the household automobile meets the replacement conditions but the seller does not have a product of the same model from the same brand or a product with a configuration not lower than the original car to offer as a replacement, the consumer can choose to return the car, and the seller must accept the return.

Can You Apply Light Braking When a Vehicle Has a Flat Tire?

Yes, but do not brake too hard, as it may lead to dangerous situations like skidding or rollover. Here are the relevant details: 1. Solutions for a Flat Tire: In the event of a flat tire, the driver should slow down gradually while firmly gripping the steering wheel and turning it in the opposite direction of the flat tire to maintain straight-line driving. If a flat tire occurs while driving on the highway, move the vehicle to the right and transfer it to a safe area as soon as possible. 2. Tire Maintenance: Regularly and appropriately rotate the tires on the vehicle (ensure tire checks during primary and secondary vehicle maintenance) to maintain even tire wear and extend their service life; slightly larger outer diameter tires should be installed on the outer wheels.
