What are the causes and hazards of insufficient engine oil pressure?

Here are the specific reasons for low engine oil pressure: 1. Severe oil loss: Severe oil loss can lead to a state of low oil pressure. It is necessary to check whether there is any external component leakage or internal leakage causing oil burning. Additionally, oil with low viscosity or poor quality can also be a cause. 2. Electrical component failure: Inspect the oil pressure switch, engine wiring harness, and instrument cluster to ensure they are functioning properly. If the oil pressure measured with a pressure gauge is within the standard range and there is no low oil pressure condition, the issue may be due to faulty electrical components causing the instrument cluster indicator to falsely signal low oil pressure. 3. Oil pump filter screen blockage: Or problems with the internal pressure relief valve can cause low oil pressure. Repairing or replacing the oil pump can resolve this issue. Below are the specific hazards of low engine oil pressure: 1. Abnormal wear: The engine primarily relies on oil for lubrication. Continuing to drive with low oil pressure can lead to abnormal wear of internal engine components, resulting in noise and part damage. In severe cases, it can cause bearing seizure, piston burning, and mechanical component failure, necessitating a major overhaul or engine replacement.

Should the AUTO Air Conditioning Be Turned Off Before Shutting Down the Engine?

It is necessary to turn off the AUTO air conditioning before shutting down the engine. Here are the related explanations: 1. Increased load: If the air conditioning is not turned off before shutting down the engine, the evaporator, which has been cooling continuously, will have a relatively low temperature after parking and will adsorb many small water droplets on its surface. If left unattended, bacteria will breed inside the evaporator over time, producing a musty odor. 2. Impact on lifespan: If the air conditioning is not turned off before shutting down the engine, it will automatically turn on when the engine is started next time, which unnecessarily increases the load on the engine and damages it. 3. Correct procedure: The proper operation should be to turn off the air conditioning first, then switch to the external circulation mode to allow the blower to dry the water droplets on the evaporator before locking the car.

Is the Quality of Genuine Parts and Original Parts the Same?

Genuine parts and original parts are not the same in quality. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. Original parts: Original parts are generally products ordered by automobile manufacturers and parts suppliers, and these products will have the manufacturer's brand printed on the surface. Since original parts are ordered by automobile manufacturers, their compatibility and quality are relatively guaranteed, but they are difficult to find in the market. 2. Genuine parts: Genuine parts refer to products produced by the parts suppliers themselves, and there will be no indication of any automobile manufacturer's brand on the product surface, only the logo of the parts supplier. Although they are the same as original parts in terms of performance and specifications, their compatibility may not be as good as that of original parts.

What to Do When the Wiper Suddenly Stops Working?

You need to open the hood to check if the transmission linkage has dislocated. Next, inspect whether the fuse is intact. If the fuse is intact but there is no voltage at the motor, check the wiring and the combination switch for the turn signals. If power is on and normal voltage is measured at the wiper motor, then the motor may be faulty. Below is relevant information about the wiper: 1. Composition of the wiper: The wiper assembly includes the motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. 2. Precautions for the wiper: Pay attention to whether the rod is correctly connected to the wiper arm. Lift the wiper and touch it with your fingers to check for damage on the rubber wiper and the elasticity of the rubber blade. If the blade is aged, hardened, or cracked, the wiper blade needs to be replaced.

How many points are deducted for illegal headlight modifications?

Illegal headlight modifications result in a deduction of 6 points. Below is relevant information about headlight annual inspections: 1. Whether the light source is scattered: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, 'Vehicle operation must not affect other road traffic participants.' If only LED or xenon bulbs are replaced during headlight modification or upgrade without the constraint of lenses, the light will scatter. Adding bi-xenon projectors to solve the scattering issue without affecting the safety of oncoming drivers and pedestrians is considered legal and passes the annual inspection. 2. Brightness of the lights: There is only a lower limit for light intensity, not an upper limit. During inspection, the requirement for low beams is not less than 1050 lumens, and for high beams, not less than 1450 lumens. No matter how bright your headlights are, as long as they do not affect the safety of oncoming drivers and pedestrians, there is no problem.

What are the reasons for the BYD S6's one-button start not responding?

The reasons for the BYD S6's one-button start not responding are as follows: The smart key battery is dead: The sensor in the car has difficulty detecting it, leading to failure to start. Interference: There is interference near the parking area, causing the car to fail to detect the key. Information about one-button start is as follows: One-button start: It is a part of smart cars, a button device that simplifies the ignition process and can also turn off the engine. The one-button start can be installed in the original car key lock position or as an independent panel modification. Functions: Automatic unlocking, automatic locking, automatic window closing, automatic anti-theft, one-button start, one-button shutdown, automatic locking before driving, automatic unlocking when parking and shutting down, and also a trunk opening function.

What to Do If the Turbocharger Burns Engine Oil?

Here is the relevant introduction about turbocharger burning engine oil: 1. Choose high-quality lubricating oil: Generally, the turbocharger starts when the engine speed reaches 3500 rpm and quickly increases to 6000 rpm. The higher the engine speed, the stronger the oil's shear resistance needs to be. 2. Regular maintenance and timely replacement: In fact, a large part of turbocharged cars experience oil burning because the owner did not change the oil on time. 3. Frequently check the oil dipstick: If you suspect abnormal oil consumption in your car, you should frequently check the oil dipstick. 4. Keep the turbocharger clean: The turbocharger is designed and manufactured with precision and operates in a harsh environment. Therefore, it has very high requirements for the cleanliness and protective properties of the lubricating oil.
