Issues such as transmission slipping, oil leakage, and jerking may occur. The following are symptoms of a problematic transmission: 1. Transmission slipping: While driving, if you hear the engine revving without a noticeable increase in speed, experience weak acceleration, or notice poor uphill performance with inexplicably high engine RPM while normal on flat roads. 2. Transmission jerking: Symptoms include noticeable jerking or shaking during gear shifts while driving. Possible causes include excessively high transmission fluid temperature, stubborn dirt and impurities inside, or valve body blockage leading to transmission jerking. Please visit a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection and maintenance. 3. Transmission noise: This manifests as inexplicable noises from the transmission during driving, with no identifiable source, sometimes loud, and intermittent or very dull during gear shifts. The causes of transmission noise are complex, possibly due to long-term high temperatures reducing the anti-wear and lubricating properties of transmission fluid, leading to wear or damage to components like bearings and gears.

How many points will be deducted for making a U-turn over a crosswalk?

According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, three points will be deducted from the motor vehicle driver's license. During daily driving, it is essential to avoid making U-turns on crosswalks as it poses certain dangers to pedestrians and can cause traffic congestion. Below are the situations regarding U-turns: I. Situations where U-turns are allowed: 1. On yellow grid line sections of the road without central guardrails. 2. Where there is no 'No U-turn' sign in the middle of the road. 3. Where yellow solid and dashed lines are marked on the road. The solid line side prohibits overtaking and U-turns, while the dashed line side allows overtaking and U-turns. II. Situations where U-turns are prohibited: 1. Intersections marked with 'No U-turn' signs. 2. If the centerline of the road is solid, whether it is a single yellow line or double yellow lines, U-turns are 'prohibited'. 3. U-turns are prohibited at intersections where left turns are banned.

How to Deal with Water in Engine Oil?

The method to deal with water in engine oil is: do not start the engine, then check the cause of water leakage. After solving the problem, completely drain the original oil and replace it with new oil. Most of the additives in engine oil are surfactants, which are emulsifiers in a sense. When mixed with water and circulated by the pump or stirred, it is easy to emulsify into a brownish-yellow emulsion. If there is a large amount of water, it may even emulsify into a milky-white emulsion. Therefore, if the used oil appears milky white, it may be due to radiator leakage or external water mixing into the lubrication system. In this case, the oil should be drained and the vehicle should be inspected. Continuing to use such oil will not only reduce the strength of the oil film but also cause foaming or emulsification and deterioration of the oil. In mild cases, it may cause rusting of mechanical parts, and in severe cases, it may lead to serious mechanical accidents such as cylinder scoring or bearing seizure.

What is the appropriate amount to fill the fuel tank?

According to the relevant mandatory national standards, the rated capacity of a vehicle fuel tank should be controlled at 95% of the maximum safe capacity of the fuel tank. Taking a 60-liter fuel tank as an example, it can be filled up to a maximum of 75 liters, but the stored fuel should not exceed 60 liters. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The accuracy of the refueling amount cannot be judged based on the rated capacity of the fuel tank. The fuel tank of a fuel-powered vehicle is a container, not a measuring tool, so it cannot be used as a basis for judging measurement accuracy. Moreover, according to the relevant mandatory national requirements, the rated capacity of a vehicle fuel tank should be controlled at 95% of the maximum safe capacity of the fuel tank. 2. Many vehicle fuel gauges operate through the up and down movement of a float inside the tank, which drives an electronic sensor. The sensor then transmits the generated electronic signal to the fuel gauge pointer, displaying it on the fuel gauge, resulting in significant potential errors.
