The effects of high oil viscosity include: 1. Difficulty in cold engine starting; 2. Increased friction resistance on the surfaces of various components; 3. Lower rotational speed, making ignition harder; 4. Poor cleaning performance; 5. Poor fluidity, slower circulation speed, and reduced cooling effectiveness; 6. Larger carbon residue particles, higher freezing point, and a tendency to clog oil passages. The functions of engine oil are: 1. Reducing friction and high temperatures; 2. Cooling and lowering temperature; 3. Cleaning and purifying; 4. Shock absorption and cushioning; 5. Rust and corrosion prevention. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, consists of: 1. Base oil, which is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties; 2. Additives, which compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance.

How many kilometers can a car run after the fuel gauge light comes on?

When the fuel gauge light on the dashboard comes on, the car can still run approximately 50-90 kilometers. Here is some relevant knowledge about not running the tank empty before refueling: 1. Hazards: When the vehicle is low on fuel, significant tilting can affect the fuel pump's operation. Besides providing power to the vehicle, fuel also has a cooling function. If the fuel pump operates without sufficient cooling, there is a risk of burning out. When the vehicle is almost out of fuel, the fuel pump will work harder to draw fuel, potentially sucking in impurities into the engine, which can severely affect internal engine components. 2. Methods: After the fuel light comes on, especially when it starts flashing continuously, indicating the tank is nearly empty, it is crucial to control the speed appropriately, turn off high-power electrical appliances like the car air conditioner, and reduce fuel consumption during driving.

Does the old BMW X1 have a timing chain?

The old BMW X1 is equipped with a timing chain. Below is a relevant introduction about the engine timing chain: 1. Function: The engine timing chain drives the engine's valve train, ensuring that the intake and exhaust valves open or close at the appropriate times to allow normal air intake and exhaust in the engine cylinders. In some models, such as the Volkswagen Jetta, Bora, and Audi, it also drives the water pump. 2. Effects of timing chain elongation: During high-speed engine operation, the timing chain can stretch, wear, and develop increased gaps. If the timing chain elongates due to increased gaps, it can lead to inaccurate timing and increased noise. If the timing chain wears or stretches due to aging, causing timing misalignment, the valve stems may bend, the piston tops may dent, and in severe cases, the cylinder head may be damaged, preventing the engine from functioning properly.

Where is the VIN located on a Cadillac ATS?

The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) on a Cadillac ATS can be found in the engine compartment, on the left side of the dashboard, or at the lower left corner of the windshield. Below is relevant information about the VIN: 1. Definition: The VIN is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code assigned to a vehicle, used to identify the manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications. 2. Manufacturer: The first three digits of the VIN are known as the WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier), which identify the manufacturer and country of origin. For manufacturers producing fewer than 500 vehicles annually, the third digit is a '9', and digits 12-14 serve as the second part of identification. 3. Location: Except for trailers and motorcycles, the VIN plate should be affixed to the door hinge pillar, door lock post, or one of the door edges adjacent to the lock post, near the driver's seating position.

What to Pay Attention to When Sleeping in the Car at Night

When sleeping in the car at night, you need to pay attention to the following points: 1. Ventilation: No matter where you are, safety is the most important. Keeping the air circulating is of course a very good choice, but at the same time, you need to pay attention to your own safety. If the window gap is too large, it may attract the attention of some criminals, so the gap should not be too large, leaving a small gap is enough. This can both keep the air circulating and ensure your safety. 2. Choice of parking location: When driving, you may need to rest at any time, so the location is not very fixed, and it is very likely to park in a narrow space. Small spaces are often prone to carbon monoxide accumulation. Underground garages themselves have poor air circulation, and the oxygen is not as abundant as on the ground, so try to choose an open place when resting, and never park the car on the lane or in a curve.

What are the reasons why the Roewe 350 cannot start after a collision?

Roewe 350 cannot start after a collision may be caused by problems with the oxygen sensor or three-way catalytic converter. The following are specific introductions: 1. Introduction: Roewe 350 is a compact car positioned in the A-class market launched by SAIC after Roewe 750 and Roewe 550. It is also the first Roewe family car that incorporates 3G technology. 2. Appearance: Based on the sporty design of the Roewe N1 concept car, the Roewe 350 has a globalized style in appearance. As the first compact car in the Roewe family, it still inherits some design genes from its two older brothers, the 550 and 750. 3. Power: The Roewe 350 has undergone technical upgrades in fuel economy. By applying new technologies to optimize and improve the chassis, engine, transmission, etc., the fuel consumption is only 6.9L, which is 12% lower than the old 350 model.

Can a Car Windshield Be Repaired?

Whether a car windshield can be repaired depends on the severity of the crack. Some cracks can be repaired, but only if the damage is limited to the outermost layer of the glass. Repairable crack types include star-shaped cracks and linear cracks. More details are as follows: 1. If the damage is located in the black areas such as the frit or adhesive, repair is not recommended—either leave it as is or replace the windshield entirely. 2. If you intend to repair the glass, act quickly. It is generally recommended to do so within a week, as excessive dust entering the damaged area may affect the repair outcome. 3. Glass repair is typically suitable for laminated glass, which is marked with the word 'Laminated.' Laminated glass is commonly used for front windshields.
