Gear oil is primarily composed of petroleum-based lubricating base oil or synthetic lubricating oil. Gear oil mainly refers to the lubricating oil used in transmissions and rear axles. There are differences between gear oil and engine oil in terms of usage conditions, composition, and performance characteristics. Gear oil primarily functions to lubricate gears and bearings, prevent wear and rust, and assist in heat dissipation for gears. Automotive gear oil is used in gear transmission mechanisms such as automotive steering gears, transmissions, and drive axles. Due to the high surface pressure during gear transmission, gear oil plays a crucial role in lubrication, anti-wear, cooling, heat dissipation, anti-corrosion and anti-rust, cleaning, and reducing gear surface impact and noise.

What is the fault when the EPC light comes on in a vehicle?

EPC stands for Electronic Power Control system of the engine. If the EPC warning light remains illuminated after starting the vehicle, it indicates a fault in the mechanical or electronic systems of the vehicle. Common causes of this fault include: Intake system malfunction: Over time, the intake system may develop leaks or blockages, causing insufficient air intake during engine operation and triggering the EPC light. Throttle body contamination: The throttle body is prone to contamination during use, with excessive carbon buildup being a primary cause. Substandard fuel selection: When refueling, using poor-quality fuel or selecting the wrong fuel grade may trigger the EPC light. In addition to the above common causes, abnormal cylinder pressure or ECU malfunctions can also illuminate the EPC warning light. Common solutions include: Troubleshooting the intake system, using qualified fuel, and cleaning the throttle body. Removing carbon deposits and cleaning relevant components. Rewriting ECU data (this applies when other solutions fail to resolve the issue). Other potential faults cannot be ruled out. Specific maintenance should be based on actual vehicle diagnostic results.

What Causes a Car Not to Start When Turning the Key with No Response?

Reasons why a car doesn't start when turning the key with no response: Insufficient fuel: First, check if there is insufficient fuel. When a car lacks its power source—gasoline—it naturally won't start. If the issue is caused by running out of fuel, the solution is relatively straightforward. Depending on the situation, you can seek help from nearby drivers, borrow fuel, or arrange for a tow to the nearest gas station as emergency measures. Incorrect gear position: An incorrect gear position can also prevent the car from starting. Normally, the correct gear positions for starting an automatic transmission car are 'P' (Park) or 'N' (Neutral). If the driver accidentally leaves the gear in 'R' (Reverse) or another position, not only will the car fail to start, but it may also pose a safety hazard. Electrical circuit malfunction: If the issue lies in the electrical circuit, the car's failure to start may occur suddenly. Common faults causing no response when turning the key include blown fuses, open circuits in the high-voltage coil, open circuits in the low-voltage circuit, detached central ignition wires, leaking distributor rotors, or damaged spark plugs. Further inspection and repair are necessary in such cases.

Is it necessary to install explosion-proof film?

It is necessary to install explosion-proof film. After purchasing a car, applying heat-insulating film is one of the essential decorations, mostly applied to the front windshield and side/rear windows together. The front windshield is the main area exposed to sunlight, effectively preventing tanning, interior fading, etc. It can also reduce the glare from oncoming headlights at night and provide an extra layer of protection in case of glass breakage. Functions of the film: Car glass alone cannot meet the daily needs of heat insulation and UV protection, which is why film is used to compensate for the shortcomings of the windows themselves. Even for more expensive imported cars, whether to achieve good heat insulation and UV protection or to ensure a healthy driving life for yourself and your family, it is best to apply a layer of car film. Characteristics of explosion-proof film: It refers to the film applied to the surface of car glass, commonly known as explosion-proof film. In addition to heat and light insulation, it also has explosion-proof functions. High-quality explosion-proof film uses special polyester film as the base material, which itself has strong toughness and is combined with special pressure-sensitive adhesive. In case of an accident, the broken glass will stick to the film and not splatter, preventing injuries. Car explosion-proof film also has one-way visibility and reduces glare. Since its introduction, car sun film has gone through four stages: dyed film, metal reflective film, heat-absorbing film, and intelligent spectral selection film.

What is the fault when the EPC light comes on in the car?

EPC, which stands for Electronic Power Control system of the engine. If the EPC indicator light remains on after the vehicle is started, it indicates a fault in the vehicle's mechanical and electronic systems. Common causes of the fault are as follows: Intake system malfunction: As the vehicle is used over time, the intake system may develop leaks or blockages, causing the engine to experience poor air intake during operation, which triggers the EPC light. Dirty throttle body: The throttle body is prone to becoming dirty during use, and excessive carbon buildup is a major cause of throttle body contamination. Substandard fuel selection: When refueling the car, the fuel quality may not be guaranteed, or the wrong fuel grade may be selected, both of which can trigger the EPC light. In addition to the above common causes, abnormal cylinder pressure and ECU faults can also cause the EPC indicator light to come on. Common solutions are as follows: Troubleshoot the intake system, use qualified fuel, clean the throttle body, etc. Remove carbon deposits from related parts and perform cleaning. Re-flash the ECU-related data (this is done when other faults have been resolved but the issue persists). Other faults cannot be ruled out, and specific repairs should be based on the actual vehicle inspection results.

Can I Renew My Driver's License a Few Days Late?

If you fail to renew your driver's license on time after it expires, you can still process the renewal a few days later. Driver's License Renewal Period: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the renewal of a driver's license cannot be delayed for more than 3 years; otherwise, the license will become invalid, and you will need to reapply. As per the regulations, if the license expires within one year, you can still follow the normal renewal process. However, if it exceeds one year but is less than 3 years, the license will be locked and revoked. In this case, you must pass the subject one exam before proceeding with the renewal procedure. Driver's License Renewal Process: Bring the original and a copy of your ID card, the motor vehicle driver's license, a 1-inch white-background color passport-style photo, and a "Driver's Physical Condition Certificate" issued by qualified medical institutions such as hospitals, township health centers, or community hospitals.
