What Causes Engine Oil Level to Increase?

Engine oil level increase may be caused by gasoline or water mixing into the oil, or issues with engine component mechanisms. Gasoline or water entering the oil: During vehicle operation, if piston rings or cylinder sealing is poor, allowing mixed gases to enter the engine crankcase, these gases will liquefy when temperatures drop, causing the oil level to rise. This oil increase occurs due to incomplete fuel combustion leading to fuel flowing into the oil pan. If this abnormal phenomenon of gasoline or water mixing into oil occurs, the oil will become diluted, reducing lubrication effectiveness and causing abnormal engine wear. Problems with engine component mechanisms: Oil level increase can also relate to engine components. For example, insufficient cylinder pressure indicates reduced cylinder sealing, which will decrease engine power and make starting difficult. Another possibility is faulty fuel injectors causing fuel dripping or excessive fuel injection. Both situations require inspection by a technician to confirm the cause and perform repairs.

What Types of Scratches Can Car Polishing Repair?

Car polishing can repair most scratches, including minor paint scratches, moderate scratches, or those that have reached the primer or metal layer. However, since vehicle polishing causes some damage to the paint, it is recommended to use wax for minor scratches. The clear coat of a vehicle is approximately between 40 to 60 microns, and each polishing session removes about 5 microns of the clear coat. Generally, a vehicle can only undergo 8 to 12 polishing sessions. Therefore, car owners should avoid frequent polishing and may opt for an annual polishing session to keep the paint looking as good as new. After car polishing, issues affecting the vehicle's appearance, such as the oxidation layer on the paint surface, scratches on the body, and reduced paint gloss due to oxidation, can be resolved. This process reduces the roughness of the wax surface, resulting in a shiny and smooth finish.

How to Deal with Rainwater Entering Through Unclosed Car Windows?

Here are the methods to handle rainwater entering through unclosed car windows: 1. Drying treatment: If the electrical equipment is not affected, go directly to a 4S shop for a drying treatment. 2. Cleaning and air-drying: If rainwater has seeped into the carpet or floor mats, remove them for cleaning and air-drying. Generally, after addressing the water accumulation issue, it's necessary to disinfect the interior of the car to prevent lingering odors. 3. Professional repair: If there is water accumulation on the car floor, or if water has seeped beneath the floor covering, or if the car still has a persistent musty smell after drying, it indicates that the area beneath the floor covering, including the sponge layer, has become wet and moldy. In this case, visit a professional repair shop to remove the seats and lift the floor covering for thorough cleaning to eliminate the musty smell.
