The function of the lubrication system is to continuously deliver an adequate amount of clean oil at an appropriate temperature to the friction surfaces of all transmission components during engine operation, forming an oil film with lubricating properties. The lubrication system not only effectively reduces friction between parts but also minimizes power loss, ensuring the engine's service life while maintaining optimal working conditions. The lubrication system refers to the collective term for a series of oil supply and discharge devices and their auxiliary components that deliver lubricants to lubrication points. Lubrication systems can be divided into five types: circulating lubrication systems, centralized lubrication systems, spray lubrication systems, oil immersion and splash lubrication systems, and total-loss lubrication systems for oil and grease.

How many cylinders does a V8 engine have?

V8 engine has 8 cylinders. Introduction to cylinders: In pneumatic transmission, cylinders are pneumatic actuators that convert the pressure energy of compressed gas into mechanical energy. There are two types of cylinders: those that perform reciprocating linear motion and those that perform reciprocating swinging motion. Cylinders that perform reciprocating linear motion can be further divided into four types: single-acting, double-acting, diaphragm-type, and impact cylinders. Function of cylinders: Convert the pressure energy of compressed air into mechanical energy, driving mechanisms to perform linear reciprocating motion, swinging motion, and rotational motion. Classification of cylinders: According to the arrangement of engine cylinders, they can be divided into L in-line, V-type, H horizontally opposed engines, and W12/16-type engines, etc. The engine displacement is equal to the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders. Increasing the number of cylinders can increase the engine displacement, improve the engine output power, and also make the engine run smoothly, reducing vibration and noise.

What is the blood alcohol content threshold for motor vehicle drivers?

Vehicle drivers with a blood alcohol content greater than or equal to 20 milligrams/100 milliliters but less than 80 milligrams/100 milliliters are considered to be driving under the influence of alcohol and will face administrative penalties according to the law. A blood alcohol content greater than or equal to 80 milligrams/100 milliliters will be classified as drunk driving. Driving under the influence: Under the new Road Traffic Safety Law, the duration for temporarily suspending a motor vehicle driver's license for driving under the influence of alcohol has been increased from 1-3 months to 6 months. If a driver is penalized for driving under the influence and repeats the offense, they will face 10 days of detention, a fine, and revocation of their motor vehicle driver's license. Drunk driving license revocation for five years: The new Road Traffic Safety Law has changed the penalty for drunk driving from temporarily suspending the motor vehicle driver's license to revoking it, with a prohibition on obtaining a new license for 5 years, along with an additional 15 days of detention. For drunk driving of commercial motor vehicles, the penalty has been changed from temporarily suspending the license to revoking it, with a prohibition on obtaining a new license for 10 years. After regaining the license, the driver is prohibited from driving commercial motor vehicles.

How to Distinguish Between Nissan Qashqai and X-Trail?

There are three main differences between the Nissan Qashqai and X-Trail. Below is a detailed introduction to the differences between the Nissan Qashqai and X-Trail: 1. Space The Qashqai and X-Trail can be distinguished based on space. In terms of space, the X-Trail is superior to the Qashqai. The Qashqai has body dimensions of 4384*1837*1612 with a wheelbase of 2646. The X-Trail has body dimensions of 4675*1820*1722 with a wheelbase of 2706. 2. Power The Qashqai and X-Trail can be distinguished based on power. In terms of power, the Qashqai is slightly superior to the X-Trail. 3. Comfort The Qashqai and X-Trail can be distinguished based on seat comfort. The Qashqai's seats are made of a mix of leather and fabric. The X-Trail's seats are made of synthetic leather, which is softer and offers higher comfort.

Is a Winter Tire Pressure of 2.0 Appropriate?

A winter tire pressure of 2.0 is not appropriate as it falls within the lower range. Hazards of Overinflated Tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, diminishing driving comfort; Accelerates uneven wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the longevity of other components; Overextends tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. Hazards of Underinflated Tires: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; Increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Weakens cord and rubber functionality, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; Multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout; Underinflation increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and inducing flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area and accelerating shoulder wear.

What Does Deviation Mean?

Deviation refers to when things or actions do not proceed according to the predetermined idea or trajectory. Vehicle Deviation: Vehicle deviation occurs when a car, while driving straight on a flat road, spontaneously veers to one side, causing the alignment between the front and rear axles to become inconsistent with the centerline of the driving path. Hazards of Deviation: Minor deviations can lead to tire wear and tire failure, while severe cases can result in dangerous situations such as tire blowouts and loss of vehicle control. How to Handle Deviation: If you encounter deviation during a long journey, do not panic or slam on the brakes. Instead, firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands, try to control the vehicle as much as possible, and gently apply the brakes intermittently—avoid locking the brakes. If the rear wheels are deviating, it is best to use intermittent braking (pump the brakes) to shift the car's center of gravity forward and prevent the tires from locking up. If the front wheels are deviating, the driver should try to pull the car to the side of the road and reduce speed. After stopping by the roadside, be sure to turn on hazard lights or set up a warning triangle.
