Automotive engine oil grades range from SA to SN, with each increasing letter indicating a higher quality level. The functions of engine oil include the following three points: 1. Lubrication: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing shells. To prevent excessive wear of parts, an oil film needs to be established between the two sliding surfaces. 2. Auxiliary cooling: Engine oil has a relatively low specific heat value and is located inside the engine, so it does not inherently have a cooling function. However, due to the heat energy generated by fuel combustion in the engine, during operation, engine oil can carry heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine. The actual cooling is performed by the water outside the engine casing. 3. Anti-wear: Adding lubricants can reduce the friction coefficient, thereby decreasing frictional resistance, saving energy consumption, and reducing wear. Lubricants between friction surfaces can minimize wear caused by abrasive particles, surface fatigue, etc.

How to remove the outer handle of the rear door of a Chery A3?

The right rear door panel is relatively easy to remove. There are a total of 4 screws; once all are removed, you can simply pry open the door panel seam by hand. There is also one screw located on the lower door panel. Just look down to see it. After opening the door panel, remember to disconnect the window lift connector. After prying open the internal clips, it's easy to take out and reinstall. When putting it back, first remember to peel off the adhesive strip in the upper right corner inside the handle to expose the glue.

How to Check the Production Date of a Car Windshield?

There is a code located at the bottom left or right corner of the car window glass. The last or second-to-last row contains a number and several small black dots, which indicate the production date of the glass. The number represents the year. The black dots represent the production month. Below is relevant information about the glass production date: 1. Production date of the glass: The number represents the year. The black dots on the left or right of the number represent the production month. If the black dots are on the left, they represent the first half of the year, and the number of dots is subtracted from 7. If the black dots are on the right, they represent the second half of the year, and the number of dots is subtracted from 13. 2. Example: .....4: The number 4 represents the year 2014, and 7-5=2, meaning the car glass was produced in February 2014. 4.....: The number 4 represents the year 2014, and 13-5=8, meaning the car glass was produced in August 2014.

What is the problem with inaccurate car fuel gauge?

Inaccurate car fuel gauge is caused by a faulty fuel level sensor. Here are the specific details about car fuel gauges: 1. Function of the fuel gauge: The fuel gauge is used to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the car's fuel tank. It consists of a fuel level indicator with a voltage regulator and a fuel level sensor. The low fuel warning device is designed to illuminate and alert the driver when the fuel in the tank falls below a certain specified level. 2. Types: There are two types of car fuel gauges: analog and digital. The analog type displays the fuel level through the position of a needle, with the letters E and F marked on the gauge. F stands for full, and E stands for empty. When the fuel icon lights up, it indicates that the remaining fuel is low and needs to be refueled as soon as possible. The digital type shows the remaining fuel through the number of illuminated bars. The more bars that are lit, the more fuel remains. When only 1-2 bars are lit, it means the fuel level is low and needs to be replenished promptly.

What are the reasons for insufficient power and black smoke from a diesel engine?

There are several reasons why a diesel engine emits black smoke and lacks power: 1. Insufficient fuel supply: A low amount of fuel in the cylinder results in reduced heat generation during combustion, which cannot meet the engine's load requirements, leading to engine weakness and incomplete combustion, causing black smoke. 2. Poor spray quality: When the diesel engine is operating, if the fuel injector's spray quality is poor, the surface area of the fuel sprayed into the cylinder is reduced, decreasing the oxygen combination rate and resulting in less heat generation. 3. Insufficient air intake: A lack of air intake in the engine reduces the engine's air charge, preventing carbon atoms in the fuel from fully reacting with oxygen atoms. This results in reduced heat release, engine weakness, and incomplete combustion, leading to black smoke. 4. Impact of ambient temperature: Excessively high temperatures can cause the engine to overheat, affecting the engine's air charge and reducing power. Excessively low temperatures can lead to poor fuel evaporation in the cylinder, causing incomplete combustion, reduced heat generation, and engine weakness.
