Automotive engine oil emulsification occurs due to the presence of water in the engine. This issue is unrelated to the engine itself but is associated with factors such as oil quality, weather conditions, and the operating environment of the engine. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves multiple functions including lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a vehicle. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricants, determining their fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the performance shortcomings of the base oil, imparting new characteristics. Additives are an essential part of lubricants.

What Causes the Ticking Sound When Starting the Engine?

There are several reasons for the ticking sound when starting the engine: 1. Aging or loosening of engine mounts: Engine mounts are rubber blocks placed between the engine and the frame. Their purpose is to reduce vibrations and provide cushioning during engine operation, as well as to secure the engine in place. Once the engine mounts age or become loose, the engine may shake, and in severe cases, a "ticking" noise may occur. 2. Overly rich air-fuel mixture: When the engine's air-fuel mixture is too rich, symptoms include difficulty accelerating after startup, uneven engine operation; black smoke from the exhaust pipe accompanied by a ticking noise, sometimes with backfiring; reduced engine power and increased fuel consumption. 3. "Piston slap" noise: Due to poor lubrication conditions, excessive wear of the piston and cylinder walls can cause the clearance between the piston and cylinder wall to exceed normal tolerance. During engine operation, the piston skirt impacts the cylinder wall, producing a clear "ticking" sound, which is usually more noticeable at idle or low speeds.

What is the most fuel-efficient engine speed?

When the engine speed is between 3000-3500 RPM, it is the most stable for horsepower output. For long-distance high-speed driving, maintaining the engine speed around 2500-3000 RPM is the most fuel-efficient. From the perspective of engine working principles, lower speeds indeed consume less fuel than higher speeds. At lower speeds, the engine doesn't need to inject as much fuel to maintain high RPM, naturally saving fuel. Here are some details about fuel-efficient speeds: 1. Maintaining the optimal speed: The most fuel-efficient driving condition is steady straight-line driving. The most fuel-efficient speed for small-displacement vehicles is 60-80 km/h, while for medium-displacement vehicles it's 80-100 km/h. 2. "Most fuel-efficient speed" still depends on specific road conditions. Additionally, practices like not frequently braking, reducing load, and maintaining normal tire pressure can all contribute to fuel savings to some extent.

When Does the First Maintenance Period Start?

First maintenance for a car refers to the initial servicing after the vehicle has been driven. The timing for the first maintenance varies by vehicle, typically required after driving 1,000-3,000 kilometers. There are two methods to calculate the first maintenance period: 1. The first maintenance date is calculated from the day the car is picked up. 2. The operational date after picking up the car, generally within 3 months or around 3,000 kilometers. Different car brands have varying requirements, so it's advisable to refer to the owner's manual. Relevant information about the first maintenance includes: 1. During the break-in period, since the engine, transmission gears, etc., have not fully worn in smoothly, the car should not be driven too fast—absolutely not exceeding 100 km/h, and preferably not exceeding 80 km/h. 2. If the car is driven infrequently and it takes a long time to reach 3,000 kilometers, the first maintenance should be done within three months.

How Long Can National 5 Vehicles Be Driven After the Introduction of National 6?

National 6 refers to the China 6 Emission Standard for motor vehicles, which is the strictest emission standard to date compared to National 5, aimed at controlling emission pollution. According to the 'Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Light-duty Vehicles (China 6)' published by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, vehicles will continue to be tested under the 'National 5' standard until July 1, 2025. More information about National 5 and National 6 is as follows: 1. The implementation of the National 6 emission standard will not affect the normal driving of National 5 vehicles. With the imminent implementation of National 6, National 3 vehicles are still on the road. The impact of the National 6 emission standard is primarily on the resale value of National 5 vehicles. 2. The introduction of the new standard is to restrict automakers, ensuring that the vehicles they sell meet the National 6 emission standard. Vehicles purchased before the introduction of National 6 will continue to operate under the standards applicable at the time of purchase.
