When a car has fuel but the fuel gauge shows empty, it may be due to an issue with the fuel level sensor (float) inside the fuel tank. Below is more information about car engine oil: 1. Composition: Engine oil consists of two main components—base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the performance shortcomings of the base oil, providing certain new characteristics. Additives are an essential part of lubricating oil. 2. Functions of Engine Oil: Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber.

What are the symptoms of front and rear oxygen sensor failure?

The symptoms of front and rear oxygen sensor failure are: 1. The engine experiences unstable idle, misfire, and surging; 2. It increases the exhaust pollution of the engine. The diagnostic methods for front and rear oxygen sensor failure are: 1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature; 2. Connect the negative probe of the multimeter's voltage range to E1 in the fault detection socket or the negative terminal of the battery, and the positive probe to the OX1 or OX2 socket in the fault detection socket or the output wire on the oxygen sensor harness connector; 3. Keep the engine running at 2500 rpm and check if the voltmeter needle swings between 0 and 1V, recording the number of swings in 10 seconds; 4. Check if the oxygen sensor is damaged; 5. Inspect the appearance color of the oxygen sensor.

Should Car Windshield Washer Fluid Be Diluted with Water?

Whether car windshield washer fluid should be diluted with water depends on the specific situation: 1. Non-concentrated washer fluid is already pre-mixed and does not require water dilution; 2. Concentrated washer fluid needs to be diluted with water. The method for adding car windshield washer fluid is: 1. Open the front hood; 2. Open the washer fluid filler port; 3. Fill with washer fluid until reaching the marked level. The performance and characteristics of washer fluid are: 1. Cleaning performance: Composed of various surfactants and additives, surfactants have wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing functions; 2. Antifreeze performance: Significantly lowers the freezing point of the liquid; 3. Anti-fog performance: Forms a single-molecule protective layer on the glass surface.

What causes the jerking sensation when accelerating at low speeds in an automatic transmission car?

Automatic transmission cars experiencing jerking or surging during low-speed acceleration are often caused by engine-related issues. Additional details are as follows: 1. Engine function: Ignition, air intake, and fuel injection jointly determine fuel combustion, which is the power source of the engine. If the air intake decreases, ignition weakens, or fuel injection reduces, insufficient power output occurs, resulting in jerking sensations. 2. Situation explanation: Some jerking during automatic transmission vehicle acceleration is normal. For rapid acceleration, deep throttle application is required, causing the automatic transmission to downshift and increase engine RPM. When RPM reaches a certain level, upshifting occurs. Since RPM drops significantly after upshifting, relatively noticeable jerking may occur. This phenomenon is more common in automatic transmission models with fewer gears, such as 4-speed automatics. For smooth driving after starting an automatic transmission vehicle, gently pressing the accelerator pedal at appropriate times allows the transmission to upshift with minimal jerking. For better acceleration performance, deeper throttle application is needed, causing the transmission to upshift at higher speeds with more noticeable gearshift jerking.
