4S stores charge for tire repairs and the cost is relatively high. You can opt for other auto repair shops for tire repairs at a more reasonable price. Below are three tire repair methods: 1. Plug method: During high summer temperatures, the plug can melt and separate, potentially popping out under high-speed bumps. Additionally, the plug is directly exposed to the external environment and may degrade or deform over time, leading to air leakage. 2. Patch repair method: This method is currently widely used and has a high safety factor. However, the puncture wound on the tire surface remains, and with exposure to rain and mud infiltration, car owners still need to regularly monitor the tire to prevent patch leakage. 3. Mushroom plug repair method: This method offers high safety, reliability, and the longest tire lifespan. It is the most advanced tire repair technique, as it seals the tire wound, preventing erosion from rain and mud, thereby reducing tire wear and prolonging its lifespan.

How to Deal with Overfilled Engine Oil?

Methods for handling overfilled engine oil: 1. Drain some oil from the oil pan's drain port. Wait for the engine temperature to drop before draining to avoid burns. If unsure how to proceed, the owner can visit a 4S shop for professional assistance; 2. Use a syringe with an IV plastic tube to extract the excess oil. The medical plastic tube has measurement marks for easy reference. Normally, the proper oil level should be between the upper and lower limits on the dipstick. A level below the lower limit may result in low oil pressure and potential lubrication issues, but short-term use won't cause severe damage to the engine.

Does a new timing belt have a break-in period?

New timing belts do have a break-in period, as all components require some initial wear-in. Automakers explicitly specify that the timing drive system should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. Damage to timing drive system components can cause vehicle breakdowns while driving, and in severe cases, may lead to engine damage. Replacement should not exceed 80,000 kilometers or 3 years to prevent belt aging and breakage. Different vehicle manufacturers have varying maintenance cycles, so the specific replacement interval should follow the automaker's recommendations. Proper engine operation relies on precise timing coordination between components, such as valve opening/closing timing and spark plug ignition timing, which is ensured by the engine's timing system.
