The 'trip' on a car's dashboard refers to the trip mileage, which records the distance traveled by the user for each trip. It represents the mileage before the current stage is reset to zero. To start recording the mileage anew, you can hold down the reset button. The minimum unit of the trip mileage 'trip' is 0.1 kilometers, and the basic calculation method is the amount of engine oil used per hundred kilometers, a parameter also provided by the manufacturer. This is calculated by dividing the actual fuel consumption by the actual distance traveled. The car's odometer also includes two LCD digital display windows connected to the same signal source, which respectively accumulate the current trip mileage and the total mileage. The current trip mileage usually has four digits for short-term counting and can be reset; the total mileage has six digits and cannot be reset.

Does adding more engine oil have any impact?

Adding more engine oil does have an impact, as it can reduce the engine's output power. The following are specific hazards of excessive engine oil: 1. Reduced engine lifespan: When the oil level is too high, the oil becomes diluted, leading to a decrease in viscosity. This results in insufficient lubrication and cooling capabilities, causing cylinder scuffing, bearing wear, and affecting normal engine operation. In severe cases, it can shorten the engine's lifespan. 2. Increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber: When the oil level exceeds the upper limit on the dipstick, some oil may enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion, leading to oil burning. This can cause the catalytic converter to fail, rapid damage to the oxygen sensor, increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, unstable idle, poor acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and excessive exhaust emissions.

What are the symptoms of a faulty BMW electronic thermostat?

There are two symptoms of a faulty BMW thermostat: 1. One is when it fails in the open position, causing slow water temperature rise, preventing the engine from operating under normal conditions. Untimely repairs may lead to engine damage. In winter, slow water temperature rise results in no warm air. 2. The other is when the thermostat fails in the closed state, directly causing overheating and severe engine damage. Here are methods to diagnose thermostat failure: 1. After a cold start, immediately open the radiator filler cap. If the coolant in the radiator remains still, the thermostat is functioning normally; otherwise, it indicates malfunction. This is because below 70°C, the thermostat's expansion cylinder contracts, keeping the main valve closed. Above 80°C, the cylinder expands, gradually opening the main valve to allow radiator coolant circulation. 2. If water flows at the radiator inlet pipe when the temperature gauge reads below 70°C, with warm coolant, it indicates the main valve isn't sealing properly, causing premature major coolant circulation. If the thermostat isn't faulty, check if water flows from the engine outlet pipe shortly after temperature rise - detectable by feeling through the pipe. If not, the issue may be a faulty water pump or blocked engine coolant circulation, which is more complicated to repair. 3. If coolant still flows from the radiator's upper tank inlet during cold engine operation, it means the thermostat's main valve cannot close. When engine coolant temperature exceeds 70°C with no flow at the upper tank inlet, it indicates the main valve cannot open properly, requiring immediate repair.

Why are red and blue trains no longer in use?

Cancellation of red and blue trains is due to the railway department's standardization of passenger train exterior colors. Below are specific details regarding passenger train exterior colors: 1. Regulation: To promote the standardization and simplification of railway locomotives and vehicles, the railway department gradually initiated the standardization of conventional-speed passenger trains starting from 2013, with the unification of exterior colors being part of this effort. 2. Unified color scheme: The conventional-speed passenger trains used by the railway department had five exterior colors: green, red, blue, white, and orange. Considering that green conveys a simple, dignified, and environmentally friendly visual effect, the railway department decided to adopt dark green as the unified color for conventional-speed passenger trains. After standardization, Chinese railway passenger trains will have two colors: dark green for conventional-speed trains and white for electric multiple units (EMUs).
