What are the impacts of engine oil level being below the minimum limit?

1 Answers

Impacts of engine oil level being below the minimum limit: 1. It causes insufficient lubrication in the engine, exacerbating engine wear. Prolonged lack of oil will eventually burn out the engine and may also trigger the oil level warning light during driving; 2. When the oil level is too low, it can lead to issues such as abnormal valve noise. When checking the oil level, it must be done with the engine turned off and the vehicle parked on a level surface. Wait three to five minutes after turning off the engine before checking the oil level. If the oil level is low, especially below the minimum mark, it should be replenished promptly to avoid triggering the oil warning light. Engine oil is categorized into gasoline engine oil and diesel engine oil, suitable for gasoline and diesel engines respectively.

How to resolve the issue when the SVS light is on and the car won't start?

When the SVS light flashes, it indicates a current fault in the powertrain system, requiring service at a repair shop. This indicator light is used to display the working condition of the vehicle's engine. When the ignition is turned on, the light will illuminate during the vehicle's self-check and then automatically turn off. If it remains lit, it indicates a mechanical fault in the vehicle's engine, necessitating repairs. Below is relevant information: 1. SVS, the English full name is Service-Vehicle-Soon, meaning "repair the vehicle as soon as possible" in Chinese. 2. The SVS light is a standard indicator in the automotive industry, responsible for warning of abnormalities in the powertrain system and prompting users to have the vehicle inspected at a service center. When the powertrain self-diagnosis detects an abnormality, the SVS light will alert the user to have the vehicle serviced. 3. The SVS light alarm may originate from the engine, transmission, or gear shift control mechanism.

What are the Load Index and Speed Rating of Tires?

Following the size parameters of a car tire, there are usually additional parameters such as 91V or 105V. The preceding number indicates the tire's load index, while the following letter represents the speed rating. These parameters denote the different load capacities the tire can bear under single and dual tire configurations, with the load index generally higher for single tires and slightly lower for dual tires. 1. The load index of a tire refers to the maximum load the tire can carry when inflated to the specified pressure. It is typically represented by a number, for example, 91 indicates a maximum load capacity of 615Kg per tire, 96 indicates 710Kg, and 105 indicates 925Kg. However, exceeding this maximum load does not mean the tire will immediately fail, but prolonged operation under such conditions is not permitted. For instance, using tires with a load index of 91, each tire has a maximum load capacity of 615Kg, resulting in a total load capacity of 2460Kg for four tires on a vehicle. If the vehicle's total weight exceeds this value, the tire deformation increases, generating more heat during prolonged operation, ultimately leading to tire fatigue, reduced lifespan, or even structural damage causing a blowout. 2. Passenger car tires commonly have load indices ranging between 80 and 110, suitable for vehicles weighing between 1.0 to 2.5 tons. Naturally, heavier vehicles require tires with higher load indices. However, the load index is not static; it gradually decreases as speed increases. Additionally, factors such as tire damage, prolonged use, corrosion, and aging can also lead to a reduction in the tire's load index.

What does AVH Auto Hold mean?

AVH Auto Hold refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this feature, such as when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of manual or electronic parking brakes. For automatic transmission models, it also reduces the frequent switching between D to N or D to P. Below are specific details about Auto Hold: 1. It simplifies operations by avoiding the use of manual or electronic parking brakes. 2. Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the brake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on slopes. 3. The Auto Hold function uses a slope sensor to provide precise parking speed control through the controller.

What to Do When There's a Rubber Friction Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel?

When there's a rubber friction sound while turning the steering wheel, it is usually caused by friction interference noise between the dust cover at the bottom of the steering column and the steering column during relative movement. First, check if the dust cover is installed correctly. Additionally, applying a layer of lubricating grease can help eliminate the noise. Below are the reasons for the rubber friction sound when turning the steering wheel: 1. Friction between the steering column and the floor mat. If the abnormal sound comes from below the steering wheel when turning it, inspect the steering column and the car floor mat. An oversized aftermarket floor mat may directly contact the steering column, causing friction as the column rotates. Lack of lubrication can result in friction noise. Applying some lubricating oil can resolve this issue. 2. Clock spring (spiral cable) malfunction. If the sound originates from inside the steering wheel, it is likely due to interference from the clock spring inside the steering wheel. Remove the steering wheel's clock spring and apply some grease to see if the noise persists. If it does, replace the clock spring as it may be damaged. 3. Lack of lubrication in the shock absorber's top bearing. If the abnormal sound comes from outside the car when turning the steering wheel, it might be due to insufficient lubrication in the shock absorber's top bearing. Open the hood and listen to determine if the sound is coming from the shock absorber's top mount. If it is, apply some grease to the bearing. If the noise continues after lubrication, replacement is necessary.

What Causes a Buzzing Sound in the Cabin When the Car is Idling?

If there is a buzzing sound in the cabin when the vehicle is idling, it is highly likely to originate from the hydraulic power steering pump. Normally, the power steering pump produces a buzzing sound during operation, but if it can be heard inside the cabin, it indicates that the power steering fluid is too dirty or there is an issue with the power steering pump. Replacing the power steering fluid requires two people to cooperate—one responsible for turning the steering wheel inside the car while the other replaces the fluid outside. Below are the steps for replacing the power steering fluid: 1. Drain the old fluid from the power steering fluid reservoir and remove it for cleaning. After cleaning, reconnect only the oil supply hose. 2. Extend the return hose of the power steering fluid reservoir and connect it to a container for collecting the old fluid. 3. Place a funnel on the reservoir for easy refilling and open the power steering fluid bottle to prepare for refilling. 4. The person inside the car starts the engine and immediately turns the steering wheel left and right. At the moment the engine starts, the person outside begins adding fluid to the reservoir. The disconnected return hose will continuously expel the old fluid from the entire system and discharge new fluid. 5. Reserve about half a liter of power steering fluid during refilling. When the return hose discharges new fluid, stop refilling and carefully observe the fluid level in the reservoir. When it drops to nearly empty, immediately instruct the person inside the car to turn off the engine. 6. At this point, since the power steering fluid in the reservoir is almost depleted, reconnect the return hose. After reconnecting, add sufficient power steering fluid to the reservoir. At this stage, the replacement of the power steering fluid is complete.
