Reasons for bubbles in engine oil: 1. Water contamination in the oil: This can produce a large amount of foam, and the oil may appear cloudy, a phenomenon also known as emulsification. 2. External contaminants mixing into the oil. 3. Excessive air intake: Blow-by gases or a large amount of air entering through the breather hole can also create significant foam. 4. Low temperatures: When the temperature is close to or below the lower limit of the recommended operating temperature range for the oil. Hazards of bubbles: 1. Lubrication failure: Excessive water can reduce or even nullify the effectiveness of certain additives in the engine oil, disrupt the oil's viscosity, and prevent the formation of a proper lubricating film on moving friction surfaces, leading to abnormal wear and even mechanical failure. 2. Need for cleaning and replacement: When engine oil contains excessive water, it may appear as a milky, foamy substance. In such cases, it is necessary to immediately clean the engine and replace the oil.

What measures should be taken if the engine suddenly stalls while driving?

If the engine suddenly stalls while driving, the driver should turn on the hazard warning lights, rely on inertia to move the vehicle to a location that does not obstruct traffic, park the vehicle, place a warning sign behind the car as required, and then determine the cause of the stall. The following is an analysis of the possible causes of sudden engine stalling: 1. Electrical circuit failure: During driving, the engine may experience a power interruption and stall due to low voltage. If the stalling is caused by a short circuit in the low-voltage circuit, intermittent stalling may occur subsequently. 2. Component failure: Focus on checking the ignition coil and electronic ignition module. Issues with these components can lead to intermittent stalling. 3. Fuel system failure: Automatic transmission vehicles generally do not stall unless there is a problem with the fuel system.
