Abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel in place is caused by a malfunction in the vehicle's steering system. The source of the malfunction varies, leading to different types of noises, which require step-by-step inspection. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Noise from the steering column dust cover: Whether the car is in motion or turning the steering wheel in place, this sound can be heard coming from below the steering wheel. In such cases, the steering column dust cover needs to be inspected. If the steering column dust cover lacks lubrication, it will produce a dry friction sound. Simply applying some grease to this area will eliminate the noise. 2. Noise from interference with the clock spring: When the car turns the steering wheel in place, the sound comes from inside the steering wheel. This issue is mostly due to interference with the clock spring inside the steering wheel, often caused by damage to the clock spring, which requires timely replacement.

Can I switch from 92 gasoline to 95 gasoline?

First, check the most suitable gasoline grade marked on the inside of the fuel tank cap. If it indicates that gasoline above 92 octane can be used, then feel free to switch to 95 octane. Below is relevant information: 95 octane gasoline: 95 octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. High-compression engines should use high-octane gasoline. Using low-octane gasoline in a high-compression engine can cause abnormal combustion, leading to knocking, increased fuel consumption, and reduced driving power. Anti-knock properties: The measure of a fuel's resistance to knocking is called its anti-knock property, which is indicated by the Research Octane Number (RON). The higher the octane number of gasoline, the better its anti-knock properties.

Can a 10-Year-Old Car Run Long Distances on the Highway?

A 10-year-old vehicle can run long distances under high-temperature conditions, as long as it is well-maintained, running 500,000 kilometers is quite normal. The prerequisite is to carefully inspect the tires; good tires ensure safety. Below is relevant information: Vehicle Age: Vehicle age refers to the usage duration of a car. It is calculated from the date of registration/license plate issuance, because vehicle information is typically recorded by the DMV only after registration. When purchasing a used car, the vehicle age checked at the DMV refers to the date of initial registration/license plate issuance. Automobile Service Life: Automobile service life refers to the continuous mileage or duration of use from when a car leaves the factory and begins operation until it is no longer suitable for continued use due to aging components, wear and tear, and other damages that gradually reduce performance and increase various consumptions.

Will the engine overheat if it lacks oil?

If the engine lacks oil, the radiator may overheat. Insufficient oil can lead to increased engine wear, and the significant frictional forces from this wear can generate high temperatures, making the engine feel heavier. Below is relevant information: Engine: An engine (Engine) is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, internal combustion engines typically convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. Engine Oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), serves to lubricate and reduce wear in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car.

What's the reason for white smoke coming from the oil filler port?

It may be due to damage to the engine's pistons, leading to oil burning and the emission of thick white exhaust, or excessive water content in the gasoline. Here are the relevant details: Specific reasons: Normal white smoke is caused by the exhaust gases from the tailpipe. When the temperature of these exhaust gases reaches a certain level, they condense into water droplets. If there is a significant amount of white smoke, it may indicate damage to the engine's pistons, resulting in oil burning and thick white exhaust, excessive water content in the gasoline, or a damaged seal in the water passage. Additional information: If there is only a small amount of smoke from the oil filler port, check if the exhaust is normal. If the exhaust is normal, then there is no issue. If there is sufficient oil and water but a large amount of smoke from the oil filler port and abnormal exhaust, it could indicate a problem with engine cooling or oil circulation.
