It is recommended to go to a 4S shop for painting, as the quality is better. Small shops outside may have some color differences. Precautions for painting are as follows: Do not wash the car: After the car is painted, the paint surface should be fine after a few days. Just after painting, pay attention to insufficient baking time. It is best not to wash the car when the paint surface is not completely dry. Avoid contact with oil stains: Do not come into contact with chemicals and oil stains, as they can easily damage the paint surface. Do not cover with a car cover: Try not to cover the newly painted car with a car cover, as it may cause fine scratches on the paint surface. Park in the sun as much as possible: First, it helps the paint surface to dry thoroughly, and second, it can also test the skills of the paint mixing technician.

What Causes Engine Oil to Leak Out?

Engine oil leaking out is caused by the aging of the four supporting components, cylinder liner, piston, piston rings, and turbocharger. Reasons for the aging of the four supporting components: Failure of the "three filters" allows dust and impurities to enter the cylinder, causing abrasive wear. After replacing the four supporting components, the engine was not properly run-in according to the technical requirements, leading to excessive carbon deposits when the engine does not burn fuel completely. These deposits fall off and cause abrasive wear. Reasons for the aging of piston rings: Light leakage in piston rings, insufficient elasticity of the rings, reverse taper in rings with outer taper due to production issues, poor thermal stability of the rings, and significant loss of elasticity.

Why Does the Steering Gear Leak Oil?

The reasons for steering gear oil leakage include: penetration of screw holes, oil leakage at the bottom cover, and poor quality of oil seals. Here are the specific repair methods: 1. Penetration of screw holes: Add fiber thread or gaskets at the bolt root for sealing. 2. Oil leakage at the bottom cover: Re-machine the plane and holes or fit a guide tube. 3. Poor quality of oil seals: Replace the oil seals promptly and inspect the bearings and shaft diameters. If necessary, replace new bearings or polish the shaft diameters. Poor quality oil seals can lead to oil leakage at the steering arm, so it is essential to replace the oil seals in time.
