Gas-powered cars are more environmentally friendly, while oil-powered cars have stronger performance. Difference in horsepower: Gas-powered cars have better fuel economy, and gas is cheaper than oil, approximately half the cost (depending on specific conditions). However, gas-powered cars lack the same level of performance as oil-powered cars because most car engines are designed for oil. Using gas will noticeably result in insufficient horsepower. Gas-powered cars produce no pollution, whereas oil-powered cars do. Difference in economic benefits:

What Causes Transmission Abnormalities?

The causes of transmission abnormalities are: 1. Insufficient lubrication of related gear components inside the transmission, preventing the formation of a durable lubricating film and hindering smooth operation; 2. Presence of contaminants in the transmission, causing blockages in the valve body and impeding its vertical movement, which disrupts the sequential regulation of oil pressure, leading to gear engagement issues and shifting shocks. Transmission maintenance methods: 1. Replace automatic transmission fluid every 12 months or 20,000 kilometers; 2. Avoid coasting in neutral; 3. Regularly check fluid levels; 4. Avoid skipping gears when upshifting; 5. Do not force the transmission into neutral; 6. Do not shorten the warm-up idling time; 7. Avoid gear grinding when engaging gears; 8. Clean the transmission; 9. Avoid driving immediately without warming up the vehicle.

Can Temporary License Plates Still Be Used After Receiving the Metal Plates?

After receiving the metal plates, temporary license plates cannot continue to be used. 1. The role of temporary license plates: The legal function of temporary license plates is "temporary use before obtaining the official license plates," which is to facilitate car owners to drive on the road and go to the vehicle management office to apply for official license plates. Therefore, the law clearly stipulates that once the car owner receives the official license plates, they should be hung on the vehicle as soon as possible, and the temporary license plates should be removed. 2. Penalties for violating the regulations: After receiving the official license plates, regardless of whether the temporary license plates have expired, they are no longer valid. If caught, you may face penalties such as vehicle impoundment, a fine of 200 yuan, and 12 demerit points.

Why can't the key turn when starting the car?

The reason why the key can't turn when starting the car is due to the automatic steering wheel lock, a feature present in most passenger cars primarily designed for anti-theft purposes. The solution is to first insert the key into the ignition, then turn the steering wheel left and right with your left hand while simultaneously twisting the key with your right hand until the key can turn, indicating successful steering wheel unlocking. Below are the reasons for a car's automatic lock: 1. Reason for automatic lock: The car automatically locks because the steering wheel was turned when removing the key after the last shutdown. 2. Purpose of the lock: The car's security and anti-theft system perceives a risk of theft, prompting it to lock the steering wheel system to prevent vehicle theft.

What Causes Black Smoke from Diesel Engines?

Here are the specific reasons why diesel engines emit black smoke: 1. Overly rich air-fuel mixture: It is necessary to check whether the oxygen sensor has failed. If the oxygen sensor fails, the vehicle loses its ability to automatically adjust the fuel injection volume, making it easy for black smoke to appear when the accelerator is pressed hard. Corresponding parts such as the air filter, fuel injector, valve seals, cylinder liner and piston assembly, and oxygen sensor need to be repaired or replaced. 2. Excessive fuel impurities: If low-quality fuel is used, a lot of impurities will be produced after combustion. Always refuel at reputable gas stations. 3. Decreased or failed spark plug performance: The spark plug is the component that ignites the combustible mixture. If the spark plug ages, it cannot effectively ignite the gasoline, resulting in incomplete combustion. In this case, the only solution is to replace the spark plug.

How to Determine if a Dual-Clutch Transmission is in Gear?

Park the car and visually check the gear position, which is the simplest and most straightforward method, as automatic transmission vehicles usually have a dedicated display area on the dashboard. Among them, P stands for Park, R for Reverse, N for Neutral, and D for Drive. Below is additional information: 1. Function of the clutch: It is a transmission mechanism that can both transmit and cut off power. Its main role is to ensure smooth vehicle starting, reduce the impact on transmission gears during gear shifting, and prevent overload in the transmission system. 2. Location of the clutch: The clutch is located between the engine and the transmission, acting as the 'switch' for power transmission between the engine and the transmission.
