No, the oil life displayed indicates the comprehensive condition of the oil, and it can generally continue to be used as long as it is not below 30%. Oil life indicated on the dashboard: In fact, the oil life displayed on the combination dashboard is a result calculated by the vehicle's computer after considering various reference factors such as the vehicle's usage time, mileage, and engine speed. Determining the maintenance schedule: Since the system calculates relatively conservative values, car owners should combine the data on mileage and remaining oil life and make a balanced decision before determining the maintenance schedule.

Should the engine be turned off when putting the car in N gear for automatic car wash?

When putting the car in N gear for automatic car wash, do not turn off the engine. The following are precautions for driving automatic transmission vehicles: Gear shifting: Automatic transmission vehicles have protection and interlock mechanisms for gear shifting. Switching from D gear to R gear or P gear by mistake during driving can be dangerous, but you can freely switch between D gear and N gear, including while driving. Do not coast in neutral: Coasting in neutral with an automatic transmission vehicle does not save fuel. Prolonged coasting in neutral will cause insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic pipelines of the automatic transmission, which not only increases friction and reduces lubrication effectiveness but also damages the friction plates inside the automatic transmission.

What Causes a Muffled Sound from the Car Exhaust Pipe?

The muffled sound from the car exhaust pipe is caused by poor spark plug ignition or excessive carbon buildup in the intake manifold. It can be resolved by disassembling and inspecting the components for repair. Below are some important driving precautions: Right of Way: At intersections controlled by traffic signs and markings, yield to the party with the right of way. At intersections without traffic signs or markings, stop and look before entering, yielding to vehicles coming from the right. Turning vehicles must yield to vehicles going straight. For vehicles approaching from opposite directions, those turning right must yield to those turning left. Prohibited Actions: Vehicles are prohibited from reversing in railroad crossings, intersections, one-way streets, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, or tunnels. Vehicles may make a U-turn at locations without no-U-turn or no-left-turn signs or markings, provided they do not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians.

Can Convertibles Be Closed?

Convertibles can be closed. The following are relevant details about convertibles: Introduction: Convertible tops come in hardtop and softtop variants, with some featuring automatic operation and others manual operation. Most vehicles limit the speed for opening or closing the convertible top to within 50 km/h, meaning the top can only be opened or closed at speeds below 50 km/h, beyond which the control buttons become ineffective. Structure: The side frames of a convertible top bear the main load, but since they need to fold during opening and closing, the central connecting parts are not rigidly fixed, resulting in generally moderate strength at the connections.
