The causes of engine oil burning are as follows: 1. Aging of valve stem seals: Due to temperature reduction, the rubber material of the valve stem seals becomes stiff, resulting in incomplete sealing. Oil leaks into the combustion chamber from the valves and burns. When the car has not fully warmed up, the engine exhaust emits significant blue smoke, but this normalizes after the engine reaches operating temperature. 2. Poor piston ring sealing: Due to faulty piston ring sealing, oil is directly drawn into the combustion chamber through the leaking piston rings under the action of the oil pump. Even when the car reaches normal operating temperature, the exhaust pipe continues to emit blue smoke.

How to Remove the Seafood Odor in the Car?

Methods to remove seafood odor in the car: 1. Sprinkle alcohol on the area where seafood was previously stored. There might be an alcohol smell initially, but it evaporates quickly, eliminating the odor. Also, open the car windows and doors and leave the car in direct sunlight for an extended period to gradually fade the smell. 2. Use a car-specific foam cleaner. This cleaner not only effectively removes dirt but also leaves a fresh fragrance. Apply it to the contaminated areas inside the car, then wipe it off. After wiping, clean with water. 3. Mix vinegar and baking soda with water, soak a cloth in the solution, and wipe the areas contaminated by seafood. You can also wipe other unaffected areas to clean the car interior thoroughly. 4. Clean the car interior thoroughly, remove any clutter, and place activated charcoal, orange peels, or pomelo peels, etc., in large quantities. Park the car in a well-ventilated area, and over time, the seafood odor will gradually fade. 5. Drive directly to a car detailing shop and have them perform an interior cleaning. They have professional methods to handle odors, and once completed, you will receive a car with a fresh-smelling interior.

Can the ETC device be attached to the small black dots?

ETC devices can be installed on the black dots of the windshield, as long as they do not obstruct the driver's view and can detect the toll station's detection equipment. However, installing them outside the black dots on the windshield has drawbacks, such as reduced solar charging capability of the ETC device, which may lead to power depletion over time. Correct installation position for ETC: For small vehicles like cars and vans, the ETC card and OBU device should be installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part. ETC installation requirements: the height should not be less than 1.2 meters or more than 2.5 meters; the installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the surface of the electronic tag and the horizontal plane). The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly turn on. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly with your hand for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device.

Is Break-in Necessary for a New Car?

Break-in is necessary for a new car. Here are the relevant materials about new car break-in: 1. A newly purchased car requires break-in. The quality of the break-in will have a significant impact on the car's lifespan, safety, and fuel economy. 2. The most important aspect during the break-in period is to limit the engine's RPM. Excessive RPM during break-in may increase the risk of piston ring damage. 3. The break-in period is divided into three stages: initial, middle, and final: 1) Initial stage: Generally, the maximum speed should be controlled at around 40km/h. 2) Middle stage: Under good road conditions, the maximum speed can be increased to 60km/h. 3) Final stage: The speed can then be raised to around 80km/h. During the break-in period, maintain moderate speed - neither too high nor too low, as excessively low speed will increase fuel consumption.

Can a car with very dark window film pass the annual inspection?

Window film that is too dark cannot pass the annual inspection. Before the annual inspection, the window film on the vehicle must be removed, otherwise it will not pass. During the annual inspection, the windshield of the vehicle should be intact, with no cracks or damage in the driver's field of vision, and no mirror-reflective sunshade film should be applied to any windshield. The following is an introduction to the annual inspection of vehicles: The annual inspection, also known as the annual check, is a safety inspection conducted every year or every two years on the vehicle, including a comprehensive check of the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, etc. Before the annual inspection of the vehicle, it is necessary to check whether the vehicle has any traffic violations. If there are any violations, they must be dealt with before the annual inspection, otherwise the annual inspection cannot be processed if the violations are not resolved.

What is the function of vehicle antifreeze?

Vehicle antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. Antifreeze has excellent properties such as preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and offering year-round protection against scale and corrosion. Antifreeze replacement cycle: Vehicle antifreeze generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. This is just a reference cycle. For commercial vehicles with longer mileage, the replacement cycle is shorter. Since the driving conditions of each vehicle vary, the replacement should be based on actual usage. Check the condition of the antifreeze; if it is found to be insufficient, replenish it promptly. If suspended matter, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are observed in the antifreeze, it should be replaced immediately, and the system should be cleaned. What is antifreeze: The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning a coolant with antifreeze functionality. Antifreeze can prevent the coolant from freezing and expanding, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or head during cold winter parking.
