Concentrated windshield washer fluid needs to be diluted before use. The recommended dilution ratio is 1:15 with purified water. Below is a detailed introduction to windshield washer fluid: 1. Composition: Commonly known as windshield wiper fluid in the market, it is a super-concentrated automotive glass cleaner. High-quality windshield washer fluid mainly consists of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. 2. Functions: It has properties such as non-stickiness, anti-static, anti-corrosion, dustproof, antifreeze, acid rain resistance, and UV protection. It also maintains the gloss and lubrication of rubber and plastic materials, preventing hardening and cracking. After use, it quickly removes stubborn stains, oil, and rain residue from the windshield, forming a protective film to prevent dust and oil buildup, ensuring clear and bright driving visibility, and gently protecting the wiper blades. 3. Classification: Automotive windshield washer fluid can be divided into super-concentrated and traditional types. Compared to super-concentrated washer fluid, traditional washer fluid may cause some damage to car glass with long-term use, while the lubricants added in super-concentrated washer fluid provide excellent protection for car glass.

Where is the VIN located on a sedan?

Automobile VIN can be found on the driver's side of the front windshield and the vehicle registration certificate. Below is relevant information about VIN locations: 1. New vehicle registration certificates usually print the VIN code in the "VIN" column, on various nameplates in the engine compartment, on the driver's side door pillar, etc. Under normal circumstances, the VIN cannot be altered. 2. Locations of the VIN plate for motor vehicles: Except for trailers and motorcycles, the plate should be fixed on the door hinge pillar, door lock pillar, or one of the door edge pillars connected to the door lock pillar, near the driver's seat; if such locations are not available, it should be fixed on the left side of the dashboard. If that is also not possible, it should be fixed on the inner side of the door near the driver's seat. Below is an introduction to the VIN: 1. The Vehicle Identification Number, abbreviated as VIN, is a unique set of seventeen alphanumeric characters used on automobiles to identify the manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications. To avoid confusion with the numbers 1 and 0, the letters "I", "O", and "Q" are not used. 2. In the United States and many other countries and regions, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) serves as the unique serial number for automobiles. These numbers are like fingerprints for cars, not only helping to record issues and changes of ownership but also aiding in theft prevention.

What are the manifestations of a damaged car dryer?

Here is the relevant introduction to the manifestations of a damaged car dryer: 1. When the compressed air from the air compressor enters the dryer and leaks out through the throttle valve chamber, it indicates that the piston or O-ring seal in the dryer's throttle valve is damaged, dislodged, or scratched. Immediate inspection, cleaning, or replacement is required. 2. When the compressed pressure reaches the specified standard value, the dryer's exhaust valve D cannot stop exhausting under normal working conditions, indicating that the piston is stuck due to foreign objects, scratches, or jamming and fails to return. The small piston and O-ring seal should be promptly removed for inspection or replacement. 3. The air compressor is in good condition, and the dryer's intake is normal, but the outward output is extremely poor. There are two possible causes: first, the desiccant contains excessive moisture, oil, or impurities, thus blocking the air passages; second, the one-way valve for the dryer's outlet is stuck, indicating that the dryer has not been maintained for a long time. The dryer assembly should be removed for a complete system maintenance.

What Season is 5W30 Engine Oil Suitable For?

5W30 is a multi-season engine oil suitable for use in most regions of China. The smaller the number before the "W," the lower the low-temperature viscosity, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the minimum applicable temperature, providing better engine protection during cold starts. The larger the number after the "W," the higher the high-temperature viscosity of the engine oil, the thicker the oil film, and the better the sealing and protection capabilities. Below are some relevant details about engine oil: 1. Different viscosities of engine oil result in varying sealing and anti-wear effects. 2. Using an inappropriate engine oil viscosity can accelerate engine wear, reduce cylinder sealing, affect combustion efficiency, and lead to carbon deposits. 3. There is no "best" engine oil, only the most suitable one. It is recommended to choose the appropriate engine oil based on the vehicle model and the temperature of the operating environment.

Where to Turn On the Position Lights?

The control switch for the position lights is the light knob. For models with only manual light functions, turning the light knob one notch will activate the position lights, and turning it another notch will turn on the headlights. For models equipped with automatic headlights, turning the switch to the AUTO position will cause the position lights to automatically illuminate when the ambient light is dim. Below is some relevant information about position lights: 1. Position lights are a type of warning light used primarily in low-visibility conditions to alert other vehicles. 2. When the headlights are turned on, the position lights will also be activated. 3. In hazy weather, during evening driving, or in light rain, you can turn on the position lights alone without needing to activate the low beams (since low beams are ineffective during the day), making it easier for vehicles ahead and behind to identify your car.

Is it normal for coolant to decrease?

Coolant reduction is a normal phenomenon, including fluids like engine oil and windshield washer fluid, which will decrease with vehicle usage, evaporation, and consumption. The primary reason for coolant reduction is natural evaporation. Coolant serves a cooling function for the car engine, which often operates at high temperatures. Since the coolant is in contact with the engine, some consumption is normal. How to choose coolant: The basic indicators of coolant are its freezing point and boiling point. On the market, coolants are available with freezing points of -15℃, -25℃, -30℃, -40℃, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose a coolant with a freezing point at least 10℃ lower than the lowest temperature in your region. How to determine if coolant is insufficient: Observe the coolant warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to insufficient coolant, though it could also be caused by excessively high cylinder temperatures. Check the coolant reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and promptly add coolant. Check the water level markings on the coolant tank. The normal coolant level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. To determine if coolant is insufficient, observe the markings. If the coolant level is below the minimum mark, it indicates a shortage of coolant.

What is the Difference Between Parking Lights and Brake Lights?

The relevant introduction to the difference between parking lights and brake lights is as follows: 1. Brake lights are brighter than parking lights, and parking lights consume relatively less power. Additionally, parking lights can only be turned on when the vehicle is turned off. Furthermore, parking lights and brake lights do not use the same bulb. Brake lights have a larger area and stronger light penetration, similar to fog lights. 2. Parking lights consume very little power (not the light before turning on the headlights) and are illuminated during nighttime parking to prevent other moving objects from colliding with the vehicle, requiring manual activation. Brake lights, on the other hand, have high power and are red, only illuminating when the vehicle is braking. They are controlled either by the brake pedal linkage or automatically by braking force. 3. Parking lights serve as warning lights that provide safety reminders to the surrounding environment, such as vehicles and pedestrians, during temporary parking when the engine is off, indicating the vehicle's position. Brake lights are generally installed at the rear of the vehicle and are red in color, making it easier for following vehicles to notice when the vehicle ahead is braking, thereby helping to prevent rear-end collisions.
