A car lacking engine oil will experience insufficient power and excessive oil consumption. In severe cases, inadequate lubrication can lead to piston knocking, causing damage to engine components or even complete engine failure. If the vehicle is running low on oil while driving, it is essential to replenish the oil at the nearest auto repair shop or gas station to prevent further engine damage due to insufficient lubrication and ensure the safety of both the driver and the vehicle. The primary functions of engine oil include: 1. Lubrication: Engine oil forms a protective film between the piston and cylinder, reducing friction; 2. Sealing: The oil film prevents gas and oil leaks; 3. Cleaning: Engine oil circulates and carries away carbon deposits, sludge, and wear particles from engine components back to the oil pan; 4. Rust and corrosion prevention: The oil film on parts prevents contact with moisture and air, thereby protecting against rust and corrosion; 5. Cooling: Engine oil circulates and dissipates some of the heat generated by the engine.

The yellow background with black text '30km' sign indicates an advisory speed limit, suggesting the recommended speed for drivers to pass through that particular road section as advised by traffic authorities. Below is a relevant introduction to road traffic signs: 1. Main signs: (1) Warning signs: Serve as warnings, alerting vehicles and pedestrians to potential hazards. They feature a yellow background with black borders and black symbols, shaped as an upward-pointing equilateral triangle. (2) Prohibition signs: Prohibit certain actions. Except for a few exceptions, these signs have a white background, red circle, red bar, and black symbols overlaid on the bar; shapes include circles, octagons, and downward-pointing equilateral triangles. (3) Directional signs: Provide directions, indicating the path for vehicles and pedestrians. They have a blue background with white symbols; shapes vary between circles, rectangles, and squares. (4) Guide signs: Offer route guidance, conveying information about direction, location, and distance. Typically, they feature a blue background with white symbols (except for milestones and hundred-meter posts); expressway signs usually have a green background with white symbols. Shapes are generally rectangles and squares, except for location identifiers, milestones, and merge/divergence signs. These signs are placed near road sections or intersections where directional, location, or distance information is needed. (5) Tourist area signs: Provide directions and distances to tourist attractions. They have a brown background with white characters and symbols; shapes are rectangles and squares. (6) Road construction safety signs: Notify about road construction zones, reminding drivers and pedestrians to exercise caution. 2.

Why are there domestically produced and imported Audi S4 models?

So far, the Audi S4 has not been domestically produced; all models are imported. Here is some relevant information about automobile production: 1. Reasons for the high cost of imported models: Imported car models are generally more expensive, mainly because they incur many additional taxes. Besides the extra taxes, there are also high transportation costs, which naturally increase the overall cost. 2. Reasons why more state-owned enterprises choose domestically produced models: Currently, most state-owned enterprises either establish factories domestically or opt for joint ventures with domestic brands. The purpose is to reduce costs, thereby lowering the selling price. Imports include two methods: official imports and parallel imports. Parallel imports are quite similar to purchasing through agents, but this method is not officially authorized.

What is the difference between domestic engines and joint venture engines?

The key differences between domestic engines and joint venture engines are mainly reflected in current engine production technology and development time. In most cases, domestic engines have relatively less advanced production technology and shorter development time compared to joint venture engines, which boast more advanced technology and longer development periods. Additional details are as follows: 1. Domestic engines: China has six major independent automotive engine series: Chery ACTECO and SQR481F series independent engines, Roewe KV6, Haima HA1.6 series independent engines, Geely CVVT, Brilliance 1.8T, and Chang'an Zhixiang 2.0. 2. German engines: Comparatively, German engines are excellent, especially large-displacement engines, which offer outstanding high-horsepower handling and safety. Whether in crash tests or quality assessments conducted by various countries, they consistently rank at the top.

Which country is the Maybach brand from?

Maybach (German: Maybach) is a German brand founded in 1921. It was active in Europe during the 1920s to 1940s and is a German ultra-luxury automobile brand and manufacturer. It mainly offers three models: the S450, S560, and S680. The Maybach emblem, a legendary brand logo, consists of two interlocking M's enclosed within a spherical triangle. Initially, the two M's stood for "Maybach Motorenbau." To understand Maybach's history, one must start with the automotive journey of Wilhelm Maybach and his son. In 1919, Wilhelm Maybach, unable to let go of his automotive dreams, together with his son Carl Maybach, created the legendary brand "Maybach"—a symbol of perfection and luxury in automobiles. Wilhelm Maybach, hailed as the "King of Design," was not only one of the three main founders of Daimler-Benz (the predecessor of Mercedes-Benz) but also one of the inventors of the world's first Mercedes-Benz automobile. The development history of Maybach products is as follows: 1909: Wilhelm Maybach designed high-performance and durable engines. 1919: Carl Maybach began designing and manufacturing luxury cars. 1921: The first Maybach car, the W1, was introduced. 2013: Mercedes-Benz introduced the latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class in its top luxury series. 2014: Mercedes-Benz officially launched the new sub-brand Mercedes-Maybach. 2021: The brand unveiled its first all-electric concept car, Project MAYBACH, globally.

What is the voltage of a Tesla battery?

Tesla batteries are 402 volts. Below are the precautions for battery replacement and battery maintenance: Precautions for battery replacement: Visually inspect the casing for cracks, corrosion, or signs of burning; use a voltmeter to measure the voltage between the casing and the ground, ensuring it does not exceed 20V, as higher voltages pose an electric shock risk; after installing a new battery, use Mercedes-Benz specialized software to perform a battery test run. Precautions for car battery maintenance: Avoid leaving the car parked in an open parking lot for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage; car batteries should be charged regularly, as prolonged disuse leads to gradual self-discharge and eventual failure. Therefore, start the car periodically to recharge the battery.
