The dashboard displaying a small kettle is the engine oil pressure warning light. Here is some information about engine oil: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, motor oil, or engine lubricant is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil. 2. Composition: It mainly contains anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines. 3. Function: The primary functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear on moving parts, and to remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (detergents) from the engine. It also neutralizes acids produced from fuel and lubricant oxidation (detergents), improves the sealing of piston rings, and cools the engine by carrying away heat from moving parts.

How to Read the Oil Dipstick on a Nissan?

Nissan's method for checking the oil dipstick: When the dipstick is pulled out from the engine, there are two circles at the lower end indicating the upper and lower limits of the oil level. Simply ensure that the detected oil level falls between these two marks. The specific steps for checking the oil dipstick on a Nissan are as follows: 1. Locate the oil dipstick. The dipstick is usually positioned near the engine, either on top or on the side. It is easily identifiable by its distinct pull ring. 2. Pull out the oil dipstick. Note that checking the oil level must be done when the vehicle is cool. If you've just driven the car or the engine is running, this method won't be accurate. 3. Clean off the oil residue. After pulling out the dipstick for the first time, wipe it clean with a tissue before reinserting it. 4. Pull out the dipstick a second time and observe the oil level on the stick. 5. If the oil level is between the upper and lower limits, it indicates a normal oil quantity. The upper and lower limits are usually marked with clear scales for easy identification.

Is the unit of measurement for tires 'piece' or 'strip'?

Tires can be referred to as either a 'piece' or a 'strip'. Tires can be categorized into three types based on their tread patterns. The specific categories are as follows: Unidirectional Tread Pattern: The unidirectional tread pattern features interconnected tread grooves, forming independent tread blocks. This type of tire offers excellent braking performance, superior water drainage, and outstanding stability in rainy conditions, making it suitable for high-speed driving. However, the tire must be installed in the correct direction matching the driving direction. It is ideal for high-speed sedans. Block Tread Pattern: The block tread pattern also has interconnected tread grooves, forming independent tread blocks. It provides superior braking and handling performance, excellent control and stability on snow and wet roads, and good water drainage in rainy conditions. However, due to its independent tread block structure, the wear resistance of block tread tires is relatively poor. Asymmetric Tread Pattern: The asymmetric tread pattern has different tread designs on the left and right sides of the tire. By increasing the grounding pressure of the outer tread during turns, it significantly enhances high-speed cornering performance and improves the wear resistance of the outer tread. However, it is crucial to ensure the correct installation direction of the tire. This pattern is more suitable for racing and high-performance vehicles.

Car maintenance mainly includes the engine system (engine), transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, in normal technical condition, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. 2. Daily car maintenance is very important. Neglecting daily maintenance can not only cause unnecessary damage to the vehicle but also endanger driving safety. For example, lack of lubricating oil can cause cylinder scoring and bearing burning, and malfunction of a certain part of the vehicle can lead to traffic accidents. On the contrary, if daily work is done carefully, it can not only keep the vehicle as good as new but also help to understand the technical condition of each part of the vehicle, avoiding mechanical and traffic accidents.

Download the Traffic Management 12123 APP. 2. Open the APP, register, and log in. Ensure all information is accurate. Select "New Vehicle Selection" or "Used Vehicle Selection" based on your situation, and choose the city according to the steps. 3. Select "Local Used Vehicle" or "Relocation from Another Region" as applicable. 4. Fill in the specific information on the page, including the registration book number and vehicle identification code. 7. Upon successful selection, the system will notify you by which date the license plate must be processed. 5. A notification page will appear, reminding you to follow the rules for pre-selecting a license plate. 6. There are two methods: random selection and self-selection, both with limited attempts. Once a number is selected, it cannot be changed, so choose carefully. If you decide to abandon the selected number later, there will be corresponding penalties.
