Oil burning repair agent is useful. Below is some introduction to oil burning repair agents: 1. Oil burning repair agent is a type of chemical agent that can dissolve in base oil after adding different proportions of chemical components. 2. It can significantly improve and change the viscosity of the lubricating oil. Extended content: The main reasons for oil burning are: 1. After the engine has been working for a certain period, the radial width of the piston rings decreases, the elasticity weakens, and the opening gap increases, thereby enhancing the oil pumping effect of the piston rings. 2. The wear of the cylinder and piston increases the fitting gap, which increases the oil in the gap. When the piston moves upward, the oil is scraped into the combustion chamber. In addition, oil leakage easily produces carbon deposits, accelerating cylinder wear and creating a vicious cycle, leading to the phenomenon of oil burning.

I've used oil burning repair additives before, and I feel they sometimes help but don't rely on them too much. Engine oil burning is usually caused by worn piston rings or oil seals. The additives contain special ingredients that can clean, lubricate, and reduce minor wear issues. For example, I tried one brand, and after using it, the oil consumption decreased a bit, but this is only a temporary fix, not a permanent solution. If the wear is minor, it might work better; but if the problem is severe, the additive might clog oil passages or accelerate aging, causing the engine to fail faster. I suggest fellow car owners first use simple checks: monitor oil consumption and see if there's blue smoke from the exhaust. If anything seems off, don't rush to buy products—get a professional diagnosis from a repair shop. Engine health can't be fixed with patches; repairs are expensive but worth it. Regular maintenance, like using good oil and changing it on time to prevent wear, is much more reliable than using additives.

I'm quite curious about engine technology and have researched oil burning additives. They mainly use chemical components to slightly fill worn parts or lubricate piston rings, potentially reducing oil consumption by 10% to 20% in the short term. But don't forget, engine internals are precise. If oil seals are broken or wear is severe, the additive may fail to seal effectively and could even worsen the damage. From online data I've seen, it helps with minor issues but is ineffective for major problems and may cause overheating. I suggest fellow car owners first identify the root cause: whether oil changes were delayed or oil quality was poor. Think twice before using additives—don't believe the exaggerated ads. It's better to spend a little on diagnostics to ensure long-term driving safety. The engine is the core component; minor issues left unchecked can become costly major repairs.

Does Engine Oil Additive Save Money? Not Necessarily! A bottle costs only a few dozen bucks, which isn't expensive, but its effectiveness is limited. If your engine is burning oil, using it might provide temporary relief for minor issues. However, for major problems, delaying proper repairs could lead to complete engine failure, and replacing an engine costs thousands or even tens of thousands. I tried one product that didn't work, and later discovered the piston rings were damaged—only timely repairs solved the issue. My advice to fellow car owners: don't rely on such products. Do the math: skipping the additive and investing in professional diagnostics is more cost-effective. Early detection and repair are the real keys to saving money.

How much air pressure should be in an 825r16 tire?

825r16 tires should be inflated to around 2.5 bar. Tires are the only part of a vehicle that comes into contact with the ground, making them crucial for driving stability and safety. As rubber products, tires will age over time. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage is low during that period. The sidewall of a tire contains important information, including the recommended tire pressure, which often varies by season. In summer, the tire pressure can be slightly reduced. If carrying a heavy load or many passengers, the tire pressure can be increased. Tire pressure should not be too high or too low. If the pressure is too low, the tire may develop wave-like deformations at high speeds, increasing the risk of a blowout. If the pressure is too high, it reduces the contact area between the tire and the road, decreasing traction and affecting the vehicle's stability and handling.

What does the plus and minus in D gear mean for cars?

Car D gear plus and minus refers to the manual mode in an automatic transmission. The manual mode is an electronically controlled device added to the automatic transmission, allowing the transmission to follow the operator's commands for upshifting and downshifting. When the gear lever is in the D position, pushing it upward will upshift the transmission by one gear, while pushing it downward will downshift by one gear. Explanation of automatic transmission gear positions: 1. P stands for Parking gear, used when the car is parked and not in use, with the wheels mechanically locked to prevent rolling; 2. R stands for Reverse gear, used when reversing; 3. N stands for Neutral gear, used for temporary parking; 4. D stands for Drive gear, also known as the driving gear, used when moving forward.

What causes the lack of heat in the Vios' heating system?

The reasons for the lack of heat in the Vios' heating system: 1. Issues with the engine cooling system; 2. Malfunctioning heating control mechanism. During repairs, it is necessary to first determine which aspect is causing the problem before proceeding with the corresponding repairs. You can check the temperature of the two inlet pipes of the heating radiator. If both pipes are sufficiently hot, it indicates a problem with the air flow control mechanism; if both pipes are cold or one is hot and the other is cold, it indicates an issue with the cooling system. The Vios is a family-oriented entry-level model specifically designed and developed by Toyota for the Asian market. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4410mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1490mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2550mm.

What does the max button on a car mean?

The max button on a car is generally the strong cooling button for the air conditioning. When the max button is pressed, the air conditioning will enter the maximum cooling mode, which can quickly lower the temperature inside the car. The max on the engine oil dipstick indicates the highest fluid level. When adding engine oil, do not let the fluid level exceed the max mark. The AC button in the car is the switch for the car air conditioning cooling. When the weather is hot and you need to turn on the air conditioning to cool down, press the AC button. The indicator light on the button will illuminate, and the car air conditioning compressor will start working, blowing cold air from the vents to lower the temperature inside the car. When cooling is needed, press the AC button and adjust the temperature selection switch to the blue section, then turn on the fan switch. Only then will cold air blow out.
