Car swaying left and right may be caused by abnormal tire pressure. The tire pressure values of the four tires should not differ too much, generally within 0.1 bar is normal. If the tire pressure values differ significantly, the uneven pressure will cause inconsistent energy absorption and shock absorption capabilities of the tires, leading to body shaking at high speeds. Below are the functions of car tires: Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle: Car tires support the full weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. Improving vehicle performance: Car tires transmit traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, enhancing the car's power, braking, and off-road capabilities; together with the car's suspension, they mitigate impacts during driving and dampen resulting vibrations. Preventing early damage to car components: Car tires protect car components from severe vibrations and early damage, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

What are the reasons for a motorcycle stalling on an uphill slope?

There are many possible reasons for a motorcycle stalling on an uphill slope. Here is a detailed explanation: No fuel in the motorcycle: Before stalling due to fuel exhaustion, the engine speed will suddenly increase automatically (without the throttle being applied). This phenomenon is easily noticeable when riding at low speeds. At this point, stopping to check whether there is fuel in the tank can confirm this. Fuel supply failure: In this case, you will feel a gradual loss of power before stalling, followed by a gradual automatic stop. If the tank has fuel, check whether there is fuel in the carburetor. Engine overheating: Excessive temperature and poor lubrication can cause the piston and cylinder to seize, leading to stalling. The signs before stalling are an initial gradual decrease in power, followed by a sudden stop.

Do 150cc motorcycles require purchase tax?

150cc motorcycles currently do not require purchase tax. As long as the motorcycle is registered after July 2019 and has an engine displacement below 150CC, no purchase tax is required, whether it's a new or used vehicle. Relevant information about vehicle purchase tax is as follows: Introduction: Vehicle purchase tax is a tax levied on units and individuals purchasing specified vehicles within the country, evolving from the vehicle purchase surtax. Tax payment location: For taxable vehicles requiring registration, tax should be declared and paid to the competent national tax authority at the vehicle registration location; for taxable vehicles not requiring registration procedures, tax should be declared and paid to the competent national tax authority at the taxpayer's location.

What is the heat resistance temperature of ABS?

ABS plastic has a heat deflection temperature of 93~118°C, which can be increased by about 10°C after annealing treatment. ABS can still exhibit certain toughness at -40°C and can be used within a temperature range of -40~100°C. The following is relevant information about ABS: ABS plastic appears as opaque ivory-colored pellets, and its products can be dyed in various colors with high gloss. ABS has a relative density of about 1.05 and low water absorption. ABS bonds well with other materials and is easy to surface print, coat, and plate. The oxygen index of ABS is 18~20, making it a flammable polymer with a yellow flame, black smoke, and a distinctive cinnamon odor. ABS has excellent mechanical properties, with outstanding impact strength, allowing it to be used at very low temperatures. ABS also has good wear resistance, dimensional stability, and oil resistance, making it suitable for bearings under moderate loads and speeds.

Is Car Cleaning Putty Good?

Car cleaning putty is undoubtedly a highly effective cleaning tool. It not only makes it easier to remove dust and debris from the interior of the car but also excels at cleaning hard-to-reach areas such as the gaps between seats and air vents. Convenient Cleaning: The dashboard of a car has many buttons, knobs, and crevices that tend to accumulate dust during use, especially in the gaps where it's most troublesome to clean. A cloth can't reach these spots, and a vacuum cleaner can't suck up all the dust effectively—the same goes for air vents. Car cleaning putty can easily adhere to and remove dust and grime from these tight spaces, offering a quick and efficient cleaning solution with noticeable results. Usage Method: Using car cleaning putty is very simple. Just take out the putty, knead it in your hands a few times, then apply it to the area that needs cleaning. Press lightly with your hand to ensure the putty makes good contact with all the crevices, which helps it better adhere to the dust. For areas with many buttons, such as the dashboard and steering wheel, you can roll the putty for thorough cleaning.

What does aplsp engine oil mean?

aplsp engine oil refers to engine oil that meets the SP grade standard of the American Petroleum Institute. Here is some related knowledge about engine oil grades: Engine oil grades: In the API quality classification, engine oils starting with "S" are specifically for gasoline engines. There are a total of 13 grades of engine oil quality, ranging from SA to SP. Engine oil quality: With each increment in the letter grade, the performance of the engine oil is superior to the previous one. These engine oils differ in their thickness or viscosity (phosphorus content) at certain temperatures. Choosing engine oil grades: It's not necessarily true that a higher grade is always better. It's best to use the engine oil grade specified for your engine. Of course, if you frequently drive in congested urban environments, using a higher grade of engine oil can be beneficial (more environmentally friendly and economical).

Which is of a higher grade, engine oil C3 or A3B4?

Both engine oil C3 and A3B4 are standards rated by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA). The difference between them mainly lies in their series. Engine oil A3B4 belongs to the higher-grade mainline lubricants, where 'A' represents gasoline engines for passenger cars, and 'B' stands for diesel engines. Engine oil A3B4 is suitable for gasoline and light-duty diesel engine oils, while engine oil C3 is designed for catalyst-compatible engine oils, specifically for diesel engine models equipped with DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter). Below is relevant information about C3 engine oil: C3 engine oil has two main characteristics: first, C3 engine oil has a very low TBN (Total Base Number), making it an environmentally friendly oil; second, the shear value of C3 engine oil is all greater than 3.5, making it particularly suitable for German engines, especially those of Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW. Disadvantages: C3 engine oil cannot coexist with ethanol gasoline. Ethanol gasoline can emulsify the engine oil, dilute the oil film, and to some extent, render the anti-wear additives ineffective. During the use of ethanol gasoline, acetaldehyde and acetic acid can form and enter the engine oil, diluting the TBN of the engine oil and affecting its cleaning and dispersing capabilities, thereby shortening the replacement cycle of C3 engine oil.
