Can You Add 95 Gasoline When 92 Gasoline Is Not Completely Used Up?

You cannot add 95 gasoline when 92 gasoline is not completely used up. Gasoline with different octane ratings should not be mixed, as they have different octane values. Mixing them can cause significant engine malfunctions, severely reduce the vehicle's combustion efficiency, and lead to driving issues. 92 gasoline has an octane rating of 92 and contains 8% n-heptane, making it suitable for mid-range vehicles. 95 gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 3% n-heptane. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from petroleum through distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis, primarily used as fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines. It mainly includes organic compounds obtained from crude oil distillation and various additives.

Is it okay to not change the engine oil for 2 years?

Not changing the engine oil for 2 years is problematic. Prolonged failure to replace the engine oil can lead to oil deterioration and reduced lubrication effectiveness, accelerating wear and tear on internal engine components and affecting the engine's lifespan. Deteriorated oil can form sludge, which may clog oil passages, preventing the oil from circulating within the engine. The impacts of not changing the engine oil for an extended period include: 1. Reduced sealing effectiveness: High-quality oil with appropriate viscosity can effectively seal the gaps between the cylinder block and pistons, preventing gas leakage. If the oil is not changed for a long time, it can become watery, lose its sealing function, and contain a large amount of metal debris and gummy deposits, severely affecting the engine's lifespan and stable operation. 2. Diminished cooling effect: Oil has much higher heat absorption and thermal conductivity than water. If the oil deteriorates significantly, its cooling function can be greatly reduced.

Can Civil Air Defense Parking Spaces Be Sold?

Civil air defense parking spaces cannot be sold, but they can be leased with a maximum lease term of 20 years. Civil air defense parking spaces are underground civil air defense projects constructed by developers in compliance with regulations, which are then converted into underground parking spaces. The ownership of these parking spaces does not belong to the property owners or the developers but to the state. National regulations stipulate that civil air defense parking spaces in residential areas must first meet the needs of property owners; otherwise, they cannot be leased to outsiders. Due to varying local legislation on the ownership of civil air defense parking spaces, regions such as Anhui, Jiangsu, and Jiangxi currently prohibit the sale of these parking spaces, allowing only leasing. Therefore, in these areas, only the usage rights of civil air defense parking spaces can be purchased, and the lease must be renewed upon expiration.

What is the reason for the yellow exclamation mark appearing on the dashboard?

The reason for the yellow exclamation mark appearing on the dashboard is insufficient tire pressure in one of the tires. It is necessary to check the tire pressure at a tire shop or a 4S store. Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Tire pressure is an indicator of a vehicle's load capacity, and the size of the load depends on the level of tire pressure. According to the relationship between the tire's load index, tire pressure, and load capacity, the higher the tire pressure, the greater the load capacity, and the lower the pressure, the smaller the load capacity. For ordinary cars, the front tire pressure is between 2.0 and 2.3 bar, and the rear tire pressure is between 2.2 and 2.5 bar.
