There are four possible situations when a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general fault, automatic transmission fault, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting fault. The following is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General fault: An exclamation mark inside a triangle indicates that there is a fault in the general performance or components and functions of the car. This mainly includes parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or failure, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection and troubleshooting to identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating that there is a fault in the transmission or the transmission lubricating oil is below the normal range. The transmission oil needs to be replaced in time. Abnormal tire pressure: An exclamation mark in the middle of a horizontal line under a bracket represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. When the tire pressure of the car is too low, this warning light will come on. It is necessary to check the tire pressure of the car and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator light, indicating that there is a fault with a car light. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection and treatment as soon as possible, or you can check it yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to see where the problem is. There is also a red exclamation mark inside a circle with brackets, which represents a warning of the braking system, mainly including brake system failure and low brake fluid level. The braking system needs to be repaired immediately to avoid accidents.

Is SN Engine Oil Fully Synthetic?

SN-grade engine oils are generally fully synthetic. The 'S' at the beginning indicates that the oil is for gasoline engines, and the second letter represents the quality grade. There are a total of 12 quality grades for engine oil, ranging from SA to SN, with each subsequent letter indicating superior performance compared to the previous one. The SN grade is the highest rating for gasoline engine oils under the standard. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, imparting new characteristics. Additives are an essential part of lubricating oil.
