Introduction to the causes of low oil pressure disappearing after restart: Before the car is started, the residual pressure in the engine oil passages is very low, causing the oil pressure warning switch to close, which illuminates the oil warning light. After the car is started, the oil pressure in the passages rises to normal levels, opening the oil pressure warning switch, so the oil warning light turns off. Here are the recommended solutions: 1. If this situation occurs, immediately turn off the engine to avoid serious mechanical damage. Then remove the engine oil pan and thoroughly inspect for leaks and check the oil pump. 2. If the low oil pressure warning suddenly appears while driving, the first thing to check after stopping is whether the oil pan is leaking. This is simple—just crouch in front of the car and look under the engine. If there is a leak, the oil pan will be covered in oil stains, and oil may even drip onto the road. If this fault occurs suddenly during normal driving, the likelihood of oil pan damage is very high, such as a cracked oil pan or a missing drain plug.

Is it necessary to change car engine oil at a 4S shop?

It is not mandatory to change car engine oil at a 4S shop; both 4S shops and professional repair shops are viable options. The steps for changing car engine oil are as follows: 1. Start the vehicle engine to warm it up; 2. Unscrew the oil drain bolt; 3. Remove the oil filter; 4. Apply new oil to the interface gasket of the new oil filter; 5. Pour the new oil into the oil pan; 6. Check for leaks in the lower part of the engine and test the engine using the oil dipstick. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves functions such as lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. Engine oil is composed of base oil and additives, where the base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, and the additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance.

How to Start an Automatic Car on a Slope?

Automatic car starting on a slope steps are: 1. Press the brake and pull up the handbrake simultaneously; 2. Shift the gear to L or S mode, and gradually apply throttle; 3. When the car's forward momentum is held by the handbrake, slowly release the handbrake, and the vehicle will start climbing the slope smoothly. An automatic transmission means the driver does not need to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The automatic transmission gears are: 1. P gear is the parking gear; 2. R gear is the reverse gear; 3. N gear is the neutral gear; 4. D gear is the drive gear; 5. S gear is the sport mode.
