Fuel additives mainly serve the following purposes: 1. Remove carbon deposits and clean the fuel system; 2. Enhance fuel power performance; 3. Improve atomization and save fuel; 4. Achieve anti-corrosion and anti-rust effects, provide excellent lubrication, and effectively protect the engine; 5. Reduce noise, minimize impurities' wear on the engine, and extend engine lifespan; 6. Eliminate black smoke and reduce emissions. Fuel additives are categorized into four types: cleaning, maintenance, octane rating adjustment, and comprehensive. Cleaning-type additives are used when vehicles experience poor fuel supply, engine shaking, unstable idle, increased fuel consumption, or poor acceleration.

Can a car start after being parked for 3 months?

In this situation, the car usually cannot start and requires a jump-start to get it running. Here is the relevant information: Battery: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the battery referred to is a lead-acid battery, which mainly uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Jump-start: Jump-starting (also known as boost) involves connecting another vehicle's battery or an external power source to a vehicle with a depleted starting battery to start the vehicle. Once the vehicle is started, its normal charging system can take over, and the auxiliary power source can be removed. As long as the vehicle's charging system is functioning properly, the battery will be recharged during normal operation.

Should I use D gear or S gear when going downhill?

It is most appropriate to use D gear when going downhill, because S gear is the sport mode, which provides better vehicle power and is suitable for uphill driving and overtaking. For automatic transmission vehicles or vehicles with manual-automatic transmission, the following points should be noted when going down a long slope: Do not shift into N gear: First, when going downhill, vehicles with manual-automatic transmission must not shift into N gear, as this can damage the transmission and make it difficult to control the speed, leading to overheating of the brake pads and loss of vehicle control. For general slopes: For long downhill slopes with a long distance, first switch the vehicle to manual mode, then adjust to the 3rd gear in manual mode, and use engine braking in combination with the brakes. For steep long downhill slopes: First switch the vehicle to manual mode, then adjust to the 1st gear in manual mode, and use engine braking in combination with the brakes.

Can I still use my license with 0 cumulative points on 12123?

There are generally two interpretations of the driver's license point system. One interpretation is that the license originally has 12 points, and corresponding points are deducted for each traffic violation. The other interpretation is that the license starts with 0 points, and points are accumulated for each violation. According to the second interpretation, a license with 0 points can still be used normally. However, under the first interpretation, it cannot be used because all 12 points have been deducted, requiring the driver to attend full-point education courses and pass relevant exams. Additional information is as follows: A 0-point display on the 12123 traffic management app is normal. The cumulative points on 12123 indicate that the license has no recorded penalty points for traffic violations, meaning the license can still be used normally, so there is no need to worry.

Is it clockwise or counterclockwise to loosen a screw?

Loosening a screw is counterclockwise. Below are relevant introductions: Standard: Screws are tightened clockwise and loosened counterclockwise. For rusted screws, do not force them to prevent rounding off the hexagonal edges of the screw, breaking the screw, or damaging the wrench. In such cases, you can gently tap the wrench handle with a hammer to vibrate and loosen the rusted screw. Definition: A screw is a tool that utilizes the physics and mathematics principles of the inclined plane, circular rotation, and friction to gradually fasten mechanical parts. Screw is the general term for fasteners in daily colloquial usage. Screws play a crucial role in industry; as long as industry exists on Earth, the function of screws will always be important. Screws are a collective invention in human production and life over thousands of years. In terms of application fields, they are considered humanity's first major invention.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for a compact car?

Generally, the displacement of an ordinary family sedan ranges between 1.5L and 2.0T, with a fuel consumption of 7L/100km to 10L/100km. Fuel Consumption: Automobile fuel consumption refers to the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Different vehicles have different displacements, resulting in varying fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Additionally, fuel consumption is influenced by factors such as individual driving habits, road conditions, vehicle load, tire pressure, and weather. Calculation Method: Generally, the onboard computer provides an average fuel consumption value, which is displayed on the dashboard, but it often differs slightly from the actual fuel consumption. The specific fuel consumption of a car can be calculated using the following formula. Calculation method: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers = Fuel consumed ÷ Distance traveled × 100.
