White smoke from car exhaust in winter is actually water vapor adhering to the inner walls of the muffler. Here are the reasons for continuous white smoke from car exhaust in winter: 1. The exhaust gases exiting the tailpipe are at a relatively high temperature. 2. The high-temperature water vapor rapidly cools when ejected from the tailpipe, quickly condensing into visible white smoke or small water droplets. Below is additional information about car exhaust: 1. Car exhaust poses significant hazards, with main pollutants including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, lead, sulfides, etc. 2. Harmful substances emitted during vehicle operation damage both the environment and human health: The environmental pollution caused by car exhaust mainly manifests as contributing to the greenhouse effect, ozone layer depletion, and phenomena like acid rain and black rain. 3. The harm to human health primarily includes causing various diseases, severely damaging the respiratory system, and exhibiting strong carcinogenic properties.

When is the best time for the first maintenance of a new car?

The best time for the first maintenance of a new car is at 6 months or 5,000 kilometers. Here is an introduction to the first maintenance of a new car: 1. The maintenance time and mileage are subject to whichever comes first. When performing the first maintenance, be sure to bring the first maintenance card. 2. After the first maintenance, the vehicle still requires regular maintenance. Regular maintenance involves preventive work such as inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. The purpose is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. 3. Regular maintenance is generally divided into minor maintenance and major maintenance: Minor maintenance usually refers to the routine maintenance items performed at the time or mileage specified by the manufacturer to ensure vehicle performance. It mainly includes changing the engine oil and oil filter. Major maintenance refers to the routine maintenance performed at the time or mileage specified by the manufacturer, including changing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter.

Where is the Mercedes-Benz windshield washer button?

Mercedes-Benz windshield washer buttons are generally located on the control lever behind the right side of the steering wheel. The specific details for using the Mercedes-Benz windshield wipers and washers are as follows: 1. Pull the wiper switch near the steering wheel side forward. If the action time is short (within 0.5s), it will only spray water without wiping; if the action time is longer, it will continuously spray water and wipe at low speed, and after releasing the switch, it will automatically wipe three times and return to its original position. 2. Move the control lever up and down to operate the windshield wipers. 3. The windshield wipers have five modes: single wipe mode, stop, intermittent wiping, low-speed wiping, and high-speed wiping. Additional note: If the Mercedes-Benz windshield washer button is frequently used, pay attention to the washer fluid level. If the washer fluid level is too low, add more in time to avoid dry wiping of the wipers.

Can You Add Engine Oil Directly to a Hot Engine?

You can add engine oil directly to a hot engine. However, it's important to note that if the oil has been sitting for a long time without the engine being started, replacing the oil before starting can be harmful because the oil film on the cylinder walls hasn't formed yet, which isn't good for reducing wear. Here is more information about engine oil: 1. Engine oil refers to the lubricant specifically used in internal combustion engines. Besides lubrication, it also has functions like cleaning, rust prevention, and cooling. The base oil in today's engine oils is composed of hydrocarbons, poly-alpha-olefins (PAO), and poly-internal-olefins (PIO), all of which are organic compounds consisting solely of carbon and hydrogen. Some premium engine oils may contain up to 20% esters. 2. Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties, while additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, giving it new properties. Additives are an important part of engine oil. 3. Almost every car manufacturer recommends the most suitable oil viscosity in the owner's manual. Porsche is the most demanding car manufacturer when it comes to engine oil because it uses air-cooled engines that rely solely on oil for cooling. In its internal technical bulletins, Porsche provides conclusions on every oil submitted for testing (as requested by oil manufacturers). However, the most basic requirement is that owners choose the oil based on the ambient temperature of their usage environment. Taking Shanxi as an example, where the temperature rarely drops below -25°C or exceeds 40°C, 5W-40 or 10W-40 oils are generally suitable within this range. The above are essential facts you need to know when selecting engine oil: first, decide the oil viscosity based on the ambient temperature of your driving environment, and then consider whether to use mineral or synthetic oil based on your budget.
