Engine oil pan is attached to the engine block. Functions of engine oil pan: The engine oil pan serves as an enclosed crankcase that acts as an oil reservoir, preventing contaminants from entering. It collects and stores lubricating oil flowing back from various friction surfaces of the diesel engine, dissipates some heat, and prevents oil oxidation. Structure of engine oil pan: The oil pan is mostly made of stamped thin steel plates, equipped with internal oil stabilizing baffles to prevent excessive oil splashing caused by engine vibration, which facilitates the sedimentation of lubricant impurities. A dipstick is installed on the side to check oil level. Additionally, an oil drain plug is installed at the lowest point of the oil pan bottom.

What does it mean to have not yet participated in driver training for the subject?

There are many reasons why the reservation for Subject 1 shows "not yet participated in driver training," with the most common being related to documentation, training hours, and on-site training, especially document review. After enrolling in a driving school, it is generally necessary to complete registration through the school. Once the school completes the registration and uploads the information to the system, the traffic management department will review the candidate's file. Below are specific details about driver training: On-site Training for Driving Test: On-site training for the driving test usually involves volunteering on the streets, primarily correcting and stopping traffic violations by pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles, as well as providing traffic guidance and promoting traffic awareness. Driving Test Training Courses: The training courses mainly cover some traffic rules and the basic structure of motor vehicles, helping candidates gain a preliminary understanding of cars and traffic knowledge before formal training, which facilitates future practice and exams.

Does washing a hot motorcycle have any impact?

Washing a hot motorcycle does have an impact and can cause damage to the engine. Here are specific details about washing a hot motorcycle: Shaking: Try to avoid washing the motorcycle when it's at high temperatures, especially after high-speed riding. Due to the physical principle of thermal expansion and contraction, it may cause the brake disc to deform in a very short time, leading to shaking during braking. Cylinder Block Cracking: Do not directly spray water on the engine when the motorcycle is hot, as it can cause the cylinder block to crack, resulting in unnecessary damage. When using a high-pressure water gun to clean the engine, it's best to adjust the spray to a scattered pattern to avoid water entering the connectors.

Does a Leaking Exhaust Pipe Require a Comprehensive Repair?

Whether a leaking exhaust pipe requires a comprehensive repair depends on the severity of the oil leakage. If the oil leakage is minor, it may be due to inherent defects in the vehicle, so the issue is not significant and does not require a comprehensive repair. However, if the oil leakage from the exhaust pipe is severe, a comprehensive repair is necessary. Severe oil leakage can lead to increased fuel consumption, reduced acceleration power, accelerated engine wear, and even potential engine damage. The function of the car's exhaust pipe: Under certain specific operating conditions (such as heavy load), the exhaust pipe directs the engine's exhaust gases into the intake manifold, where they mix with the air-fuel mixture and participate in combustion. Since the exhaust gases cannot burn, this process slows down the combustion speed and lowers the combustion temperature within the cylinders, thereby improving emissions. Additionally, the exhaust pipe channels the gases inside the engine's crankcase (which include gases from the combustion chamber entering the cylinders and oil vapors) into the intake manifold to participate in combustion. Nitrogen and oxygen only undergo chemical reactions under high temperature and pressure conditions. Therefore, the exhaust gas recirculation system is designed to allow a small amount of exhaust gas to re-enter the intake manifold and participate in combustion again. Since the exhaust gases cannot burn, their role is to lower the temperature inside the engine cylinders and reduce the levels of pollutants.

Is it acceptable not to transfer insurance when transferring vehicle ownership?

It is not acceptable to transfer vehicle ownership without transferring the insurance, as it may lead to many troubles. Even in the event of an accident, the insurance company may refuse to settle the claim. Therefore, if the vehicle ownership is transferred, it is best to transfer the insurance as well. The original owner and the new owner only need to bring their valid ID cards, insurance policy, new vehicle registration certificate, driving license, transaction receipts, etc., to the insurance company to complete the insurance transfer procedures. The documents required from the original owner for a used car transfer include: registration certificate, driving license, and ID card. The buyer needs to provide an ID card, and if they are from another city, a residence permit or temporary residence permit is required. First, a vehicle evaluation is required for the transfer of ownership. The evaluation fee is generally 1%-2% of the evaluated vehicle price, and other fees include license plates, driving license, etc. The original commercial insurance of the vehicle can be canceled (compulsory insurance cannot be canceled), or the insurance can be transferred to the buyer at the insurance company. Precautions when buying a used car: Incomplete procedures. Complete procedures for a used car include: vehicle registration certificate (or original purchase invoice), driving license, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, road maintenance fee procedures, and compulsory insurance. If the vehicle registration certificate or driving license is missing, or if there are arrears in compulsory insurance or road maintenance fees, it will bring endless trouble to the buyer. Therefore, when buying a car, if the seller cannot provide complete procedures, consumers should be especially vigilant. Tampering with the odometer. Most consumers like to judge the condition of the car by the odometer, and sellers often take advantage of this psychology to tamper with the odometer. In fact, the odometer is not only a record of usage intensity but also a recorder of the maintenance and replacement of other parts of the vehicle. If the buyer performs maintenance according to the tampered odometer display, it will bring a series of potential safety hazards. New paint covering "external injuries". When consumers choose a used car, if the car has been repainted and there are traces of repair around the front face, rear, and A, B, C pillars, the car may have been involved in a major accident. "Tuning the heart" to raise the price. Many consumers often pay too much attention to the "heart" of the car when buying a car and ignore the health of the car body. Used car sellers take advantage of this psychology of consumers by replacing engine parts to make the vehicle's "heart" appear younger, thereby raising the price.

After that, if the license plate is not obtained, the car cannot be driven on the road. Documents required for licensing: ID card, vehicle qualification certificate, triplicate car purchase invoice issued by the 4S store, the original and duplicate tax books obtained after paying the vehicle purchase tax, insurance policy, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and if you are not a local resident, you also need to bring a temporary residence permit. New car licensing needs to be processed at the vehicle management office. After submitting all the required documents and paying the fees, the vehicle must also be driven to the vehicle management office for inspection. Some exempt vehicles can directly undergo an external inspection, which generally includes checking the engine number and chassis number. After the inspection, you can go to the vehicle management office hall to choose a license plate. The role of the license plate: The main role is that through the license plate, you can know the area to which the vehicle belongs, and you can also find out the owner of the vehicle and the registration information of the vehicle based on the license plate.
