Reasons for engine oil spraying from the car's exhaust pipe are as follows: 1. Failure of pistons, cylinder liners, piston pins, or piston rings, resulting in loss of original sealing effect, leading to oil spray from the exhaust pipe. 2. Severe wear between the valve stem and valve guide, creating excessive clearance, causing oil spray from the exhaust pipe. 3. If the car's exhaust pipe is connected to the upper part, the issue may lie with the valve oil seal. 4. If the vehicle has just been serviced, residual oil in the cylinder may cause temporary oil discharge, which is normal. However, if oil leakage persists after prolonged operation post-repair, it may be due to wear of the turbocharger's floating bearing seal ring. In case of any of the above issues, regardless of the cause, it is best to leave it to professionals. This process requires systematic troubleshooting, and any errors during disassembly or assembly can lead to further vehicle malfunctions.

Where is the OBD port located in a car?

The OBD port in a car is located in different positions depending on the vehicle model. For most cars, the OBD port is found below the lower left side of the instrument panel. If it cannot be found there, you can check above the pedals or in front of the gear shift lever. The function of the OBD port is: the OBD system continuously monitors the vehicle's exhaust emissions from the engine's operating conditions and immediately issues a warning if the emissions exceed the standard. When a system malfunction occurs, the malfunction indicator light or engine warning light will illuminate, and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will store the fault information in memory. The fault code can be read from the PCM through a specific procedure. Based on the fault code, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault.

Where to Obtain the Vehicle Inspection Exemption Label?

Vehicle inspection exemption labels can be obtained at the local vehicle management office or through the Traffic Management 12123 APP. Below are the specific details for vehicle inspection exemption: 1. Required Documents: The vehicle owner must bring the vehicle's driving license (original and duplicate), the ID card of the vehicle owner, the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the tax payment or tax exemption certificate for vehicle and vessel tax. 2. Exemption Regulations: Vehicle inspection exemption refers to vehicles that meet the exemption conditions within 6 years, exempting them from the on-site inspection process. Owners only need to apply for the inspection label every two years and affix it to the vehicle as required. Essentially, this means the vehicle is exempt from on-site inspection. As long as the vehicle meets the conditions stipulated by national policy, there is no need for on-site inspection, and the inspection label can be directly applied for from the traffic management department.

What are the techniques for judging distance while driving?

Here are specific techniques for judging distance while driving: 1. Using fixed reference points on the vehicle: When the midpoint of the vehicle's left rearview mirror aligns with the left sideline, the distance between the vehicle and the sideline is 1.5 meters. When the first wiper node of the vehicle is on the left sideline, the left wheel of the vehicle is pressing on the sideline. 2. Judging by the position of the white line: When the white line is at the midpoint of the engine hood, the right wheel of the vehicle is already on the line. When the white line is at the halfway point on the right side of the engine hood, the vehicle is 30 centimeters away from the right sideline. When the white line is at the one-third point on the right side of the engine hood, the vehicle is 60 centimeters away from the right sideline.
