Common oil leakage phenomena and reasons in cars: 1. Engine oil pan leakage. The required torque for the oil pan screws is not achieved, meaning they are not tightened properly; this commonly occurs after new cars undergo maintenance, resulting in engine oil leakage. Aging of the engine oil pan gasket leads to poor sealing. Related components such as a cracked or deformed engine oil pan are often caused by abnormal wear, car undercarriage impacts, or traffic accidents. 2. Valve cover leakage. Aging of the valve cover gasket results in poor sealing. A blocked crankcase ventilation port causes excessive pressure inside the crankcase. Due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the crankcase, engine oil leaks from weak points under high pressure, leading to oil leakage. 3. Brake fluid leakage. When you notice a significant increase in brake pedal travel, it is essential to carefully check for brake fluid leakage. Brake fluid leakage most commonly occurs in these areas: near the brake fluid drain holes of the four wheels, at the brake fluid reservoir, and at the brake pedal. Brake fluid leakage must be taken seriously as it directly relates to driving safety.

Can a Car's Engine Be Replaced?

It is possible to replace a car's engine. When replacing, it is necessary to choose an engine of the same model and register the change with the vehicle management office to complete the modification procedures. A gasoline engine is an engine that uses gasoline as fuel. Due to gasoline's low viscosity and quick evaporation, a gasoline injection system can be used to spray gasoline into the cylinder. After compression reaches a certain temperature and pressure, a spark plug ignites it, causing the gas to expand and perform work. Gasoline engines are characterized by high rotational speed, simple structure, light weight, low cost, and smooth operation. The fuel used in diesel engines is diesel, which has higher viscosity than gasoline and is less prone to evaporation, while its autoignition temperature is lower than that of gasoline. Additionally, each working cycle of a diesel engine goes through four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. During operation, air enters the cylinder, and when the air in the cylinder is compressed to its endpoint, the temperature can reach 500-700 degrees Celsius.

How to Repair Scratches on Windshield Caused by Sandpaper?

Clean the glass thoroughly by using a clean cloth to remove dust and debris from the windshield. Wait for the glass to dry completely before starting the scratch repair process. Prepare a clean, lint-free cloth and dampen it with warm water. Wring out the cloth until it no longer drips. Squeeze a pea-sized amount of toothpaste onto the cloth. Be careful with the amount, as it is crucial. You can always add more if needed. Gently rub the scratched area of the glass with the toothpaste-covered cloth using small circular motions for about 30 seconds. Wipe the area again with the cloth. After wiping, the glass should appear shiny. Avoid pressing too hard or rubbing in circles when removing the toothpaste.

How to Test if a Parking Sensor is Working Properly?

When you bring your ear close, you should hear a faint ticking sound. By comparing whether there are sounds and the volume of the sounds among several sensors, you can roughly determine which sensor has an issue. In actual repairs, you can use this blind spot to approach a specific sensor and block it with an object to determine if that particular sensor is faulty. When there is an issue with the parking sensor, if a sensor fails, it will emit a long intermittent "beep" sound to indicate that the left sensor has malfunctioned.

How to Remove the Trunk Lid Trim Panel?

Locate the two clips next to the trim panel. The trim panel is secured to the door by screws and door clips. First, remove the screws that secure the door trim panel. Use a professional tool or a flat-head screwdriver to pry the edges. Except for the top of the trim panel, the other three sides are fixed by clips. Pry the clips outward to release them. After all the clips are pried open, lift the door trim panel upward to remove it. Then, detach the trim panel from the clips, allowing it to move freely.

How to Deal with Mold in the Trunk?

Before parking, turn on the warm air mode of the air conditioner to dry out the moisture in the air conditioning ducts and the interior of the car, preventing the car environment from becoming too humid and causing mold. Place some activated bamboo charcoal in the car to absorb moisture and harmful substances, thereby regulating the humidity inside the car. Install a solar-powered air purifier or place a car air purifier in the vehicle to absorb dust and impurities in the air, preventing mold from forming inside the car.
