The reasons for the oil gauge indicating insufficient engine oil are: 1. Aging of the valve oil seal, where the rubber loses elasticity, resulting in poor sealing and oil leaking into the combustion chamber to burn; 2. Wear of the cylinder liner or insufficient tension of the piston rings; 3. Excessive clearance between the piston rings and the cylinder wall, improper installation of piston rings, or degraded sealing, weakening the oil ring's oil-scraping function; 4. Excessive wear between the guide and the valve stem, causing oil droplets from the valve cover to enter the combustion chamber along the gap while driving; 5. The crankcase ventilation valve sticks and cannot move, losing its function of controlling ventilation volume, allowing excessive oil vapor in the crankcase to enter the intake pipe through the crankcase ventilation tube.

What are the causes of brake pulling?

Brake pulling is caused by: 1. Inconsistent braking force between the wheels on both sides of the vehicle, especially the wheels on both sides of the steering axle; 2. Uncoordinated movement of the suspension guide rods and steering system tie rods during braking; 3. Improper loading on both sides of the vehicle; 4. Inconsistent road adhesion on both sides. Brake pulling refers to the phenomenon where the vehicle automatically veers to one side during braking, which is an important factor affecting traffic safety. If the vehicle pulls to the left when braking during driving, it indicates poor braking performance of the right wheel, and vice versa for the left wheel. After braking to a stop, check the tire drag marks on the road surface. The wheel with shorter or no drag marks is the one with braking issues.

What are the weaknesses of the Mitsubishi Outlander?

Here are the weaknesses of the Mitsubishi Outlander: Power: Starting with the powertrain from GAC Mitsubishi, the Outlander is equipped with 2.0L and 2.4L engines produced by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, paired with a CVT transmission. That is, it uses imported engines. Although the Outlander performs well in noise insulation, the engine noise when cold is still relatively loud, which is one of its drawbacks. Design: There are also some minor flaws in the Outlander's seat design. The rear seats are very firm, with a flat seat cushion angle and a steep backrest angle. The position of the safety buckle is not very well designed, making rear passengers quite uncomfortable during long rides. Despite the Outlander's spacious rear seating area, it fails to provide good comfort, turning what should be an advantage into a disadvantage.

Do You Need to Press the Accelerator When Reversing in an Automatic Transmission Car?

When reversing in an automatic transmission car, you generally do not need to press the accelerator. Simply shift into the R (Reverse) gear and release the brake, and the car will move backward automatically. However, in certain situations such as when on a slope or when the wheels are on a speed bump, the idle power of the engine may not be sufficient to overcome the resistance. In such cases, you may need to lightly press the accelerator to assist in reversing. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on speed and traffic conditions. Typically, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low).
