Here are the impacts of excessive engine oil on a car: 1. During operation, various components of the engine will experience intense agitation. 2. It increases internal power loss in the engine, causing more oil to splash onto the cylinder walls, leading to oil burning and exhaust issues. 3. Excessive oil creates significant resistance for the high-speed rotating crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism, resulting in reduced power output. 4. More oil enters the combustion chamber, worsening exhaust emissions. In severe cases, it may cause damage or poisoning to the catalytic converter. 5. It increases fuel consumption and oil burning during vehicle operation.

How to fold down the rear seats of the Yaris L?

Before folding down the rear seats, move the front seats forward to ensure there is enough space for the rear seats to be folded. Close the center armrest in the rear seats to avoid friction, and retract the seatbelt buckle of the middle rear seat. It is best to have the headrest in the lowest position. There is a thin strap on the side of the rear seat—pulling it allows you to adjust the backrest angle forward or backward. Fold down the rear seats.

How to Adjust the Valves on CFMoto NK150?

Both the fairings and fuel tank need to be removed, but the radiator can stay in place. Then, take off the exhaust valve cover and remove the fan. First, use a hex wrench to remove the magneto side cover, then unscrew the timing inspection port screw. Rotate the magneto with a socket wrench to locate the timing marks. When the marks are visible through the inspection port and the engine piston is at top dead center, the timing is correct. Loosen the intake and exhaust valve fixing bolts with a socket wrench, then manually adjust the valve clearance screw. When it can't be turned anymore, slightly loosen it a tiny bit to complete the adjustment.
