Excess coolant can be drawn out from the expansion tank; overfilling coolant has no significant impact on the engine. Additional information: 1. Consequences of overfilling coolant: There is a drain pipe on the expansion tank. When excessive coolant causes excessive pressure, this drain pipe acts as a pressure relief, and the excess coolant will also be discharged through this pipe. 2. Insufficient coolant: If the coolant level drops below a certain point, it will not be sufficient to meet the engine's normal cooling requirements. If coolant is not added at this time and the vehicle continues to be driven, the engine temperature will rise rapidly, significantly increasing the risk of engine piston scuffing and seizure.

How Many Kilometers Should Manual Transmission Fluid Be Changed?

Manufacturers recommend changing it every 2-3 years or 40,000-60,000 kilometers. Here are the relevant details: 1. Manual transmission vehicles: Cars that use manual shift mechanical transmissions (also known as manual transmissions, MT) to adjust speed. This means the driver must manually move the gear lever to change the gear engagement position inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. The gear lever can only be moved when the clutch is depressed. 2. Transmission: A device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion. Used in automobiles, tractors, ships, machine tools, and various machines to alter the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. Gear-driven transmissions generally consist of a housing and several gear pairs.

How Long Does It Take for Exposed Car Metal to Rust?

If located in a humid and hot region, oxidation occurs rapidly, and rust may appear within a few hours. In dry environments, where oxidation is slower, the exposed metal typically won't rust within a week if protected from water. However, it is still recommended to repair the exposed metal as soon as possible to prevent rusting. Notes: 1. After the car is scratched and the metal is exposed, the paint should be repaired promptly to avoid affecting both the car's lifespan and its appearance. If the scratched area is large, professional repair at a 4S shop is necessary, which usually involves repainting. Additionally, other minor scratches on the body that have been self-treated should also be repainted at the same time to prevent color discrepancies. 2. If the car is scratched, exposing silver metal, repairs should be done quickly. For minor scratches without rust spots, simply clean the area and use a touch-up pen for self-repair. If rust spots appear, use ultra-fine wet sandpaper dipped in water to sand in the same direction until the rust is removed. After wiping it clean, apply primer. Once the primer is dry, smooth it with wet sandpaper and then use a touch-up pen for final repair.
