To reduce fuel consumption, remember not to stomp on the accelerator. When going downhill, try not to press the accelerator, but make sure to keep the car in gear and avoid coasting in neutral. You can wipe the bulbs with alcohol to remove oil stains and dust, which reduces heat generation and extends their lifespan. After prolonged use, the inner surface of car tires becomes rough due to friction. Install some soft cloth on the wheel guards. Drilling a small hole under the car can help with drainage, reduce corrosion, and naturally extend its lifespan.

When it comes to car tips, I've learned quite a few practical things from my own driving experience. The most basic is to regularly check the engine oil level—pop the hood every two weeks to check the dipstick, don't wait for the warning light, or it could damage the engine. Also, check tire pressure monthly; low pressure increases fuel consumption and is dangerous—keep a pressure gauge in the car for convenience. If the wipers aren’t clearing the windshield properly, replace them immediately—even cheap ones will do, so you don’t risk poor visibility in the rain. Battery maintenance is important too—charging it well in summer prevents winter drain; I start the car for ten minutes every other month. These are all small daily habits that can extend your car’s lifespan and save on repair costs.

What Causes Engine Oil to Turn Black?

Engine oil turns black due to excessive accumulation of carbon deposits and sludge inside the engine. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To separate the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear; 2. To carry heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine; 3. To circulate carbon deposits, sludge, and metal wear particles from engine components back to the oil tank, flushing away contaminants generated on the working surfaces of the parts through the flow of the lubricating oil. The function of the engine is: to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning it in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the piston to perform work.
