When a car displays a red oil can dripping, it indicates that the engine oil warning light is on. At this point, you should immediately stop the vehicle and check the engine oil. There are many reasons that can cause the engine oil warning light to illuminate, including insufficient engine oil, poor oil quality, and excessively high engine temperature. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Clogging of the oil filter; 2. Insufficient oil level, which reduces the oil pump's output or causes it to fail to pump oil due to air intake, leading to a drop in oil pressure; 3. Poor oil quality, where the selected oil has a low viscosity, resulting in poor sealing and air leakage; 4. The selected oil has excessively high low-temperature viscosity, making it difficult to pump. If the engine oil warning light comes on, you should promptly go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair.

How to Extract Fuel from the Car's Fuel Tank?

Methods to extract fuel from the car's fuel tank: 1. Park the car facing uphill on a slope—the steeper the slope, the easier it is to extract fuel; 2. Put the gear in first and engage the handbrake; 3. Open the fuel tank cap and insert one end of the hose into the tank, extending it as far as possible to the bottom; 4. Use airflow to draw out the gasoline, which can be done by mouth suction; 5. When gasoline reaches the hose opening, cover the opening and slowly release it into a container; 6. Once gasoline continuously flows from the tank into the container, the extraction is complete. Notes: The hose used for extraction should be of moderate length and diameter, preferably transparent for clear observation of fuel flow, mainly to avoid sucking too much gasoline into the mouth; when using mouth suction, slightly pinch the hose near the mouth to prevent gasoline from being sucked in.

What are the reasons for difficult car starting?

The reasons for difficult car starting are: 1. Ignition difficulty caused by carbon deposits in the car; 2. Weak spark plug ignition energy; 3. Insufficient low pressure in the fuel line; 4. Battery depletion; 5. Exhaust pipe blockage; 6. Overly rich or lean air-fuel mixture; 7. Incorrect engine timing. Solutions: 1. Clean the throttle valve, intake tract carbon deposits, and fuel injectors; 2. Replace spark plugs; 3. Check and replace fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, fuel filter, and internal pipelines if necessary; 4. Jump-start using another vehicle or battery; 5. Spray carburetor cleaner into the throttle valve area and start the engine; 6. Replace the engine belt or adjust the engine timing belt.

What should be noted when using ETC?

ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, which means electronic toll collection system. ETC can be processed at bank outlets or highway service areas. The following documents are required: the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp; a bank card for deducting highway tolls; the applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old; and the vehicle must be registered under a personal name. Regarding the installation of ETC: Do not obstruct the view. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large inclination angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic toll payment for the vehicle in front. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle device information and toll deduction failure. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause toll deduction failure. Precautions for using ETC cards: Before passing through the toll station using ETC, ensure the ETC card is correctly inserted into the OBU. The card may loosen due to bumps during driving, so check it promptly and reinsert it into the OBU if necessary. The ETC card must be dedicated to the specific vehicle and cannot be changed arbitrarily after binding with the vehicle. Before using ETC, check the fee information displayed on the dedicated lane sign. If the card balance is insufficient, recharge it promptly. When passing through the ETC lane and the barrier does not lift, follow the instructions of the toll station staff or switch to the manual toll lane. If the ETC toll lane is temporarily closed at the highway toll station, use the manual toll lane for payment. The speed limit for the ETC dedicated lane is 20 km/h. Maintain a distance of more than 5 meters from the vehicle in front before passing through. If an ETC vehicle receives a toll card in the manual toll lane, it cannot use the ETC toll lane when exiting the highway and must use the manual toll lane.

Can Petroleum and Petrochemical Products Be Mixed?

Petroleum and petrochemical products can be mixed without causing chemical reactions. Similarly, gasoline with different octane ratings can also be mixed without chemical reactions, but mixing different octane ratings may result in a decrease in the octane value, which could lead to engine knocking. The gasoline composition from different branded gas stations is generally similar, but it is still recommended to refuel at reputable stations. Many small gas stations sell substandard gasoline, and prolonged use of such low-quality fuel can increase carbon deposits in the engine and reduce the lifespan of the catalytic converter. When refueling, it is important not only to choose reputable large gas stations but also to select the correct gasoline octane rating.
