According to the Chinese national standard GB3743-84, the ratio of engine oil to fuel consumption should be less than 1%. Based on this calculation, for a car with an engine displacement of 1.6-2.0 liters and a fuel consumption of 10 liters per 100 kilometers, the engine oil consumption should be less than 1 liter per 1,000 kilometers. Factors affecting engine oil consumption include: 1. Viscosity of the engine oil: The lower the viscosity of the engine oil, the relatively worse the sealing effect, and the amount sucked into the combustion chamber will increase. 2. Driving conditions of the vehicle: High-speed driving and frequent acceleration and deceleration will increase engine oil consumption. Different working conditions result in different amounts of engine oil consumption. During the break-in period of the engine, the oil consumption is relatively high. Therefore, the engine oil consumption is generally not evaluated during the break-in period. 3. Poor fuel quality: It is easy to form carbon deposits in the piston ring groove, which will cause the piston ring to stick for a long time, and the oil ring will lose its oil scraping effect, causing the engine oil to enter the combustion chamber from the gap between the piston and the cylinder wall, forming real oil burning. After the engine has been used for a certain number of kilometers, the piston rings and cylinder walls wear out, causing the matching gap to exceed the limit, and a small part of the engine oil will also enter the combustion chamber, forming real oil burning. The valve oil seal is damaged or hardened and aged.

Does High-Speed Rail Have a Steering Wheel?

High-speed rail does not have a steering wheel. Here are the relevant details: No Need for a Steering Wheel: All railway vehicles, from steam locomotives to diesel locomotives, electric locomotives, and high-speed rail, do not have steering wheels. Early diesel and electric locomotives had hand wheels similar to steering wheels, used for accelerating and decelerating. Trains run along tracks and do not require a steering wheel. High-Speed Rail: High-speed rail, abbreviated as HSR, refers to a railway system designed with high standards to allow trains to operate safely at high speeds. The concept is not limited to the tracks and does not specifically refer to the trains. According to the "High-Speed Railway Design Specifications" issued by China's National Railway Administration, high-speed rail is defined as newly constructed passenger-dedicated railways with a standard gauge, designed for speeds of 250 km/h (inclusive) to 350 km/h (inclusive), operating EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) trains.

What procedures are required for vehicle inspection by someone other than the owner?

For vehicle inspection by someone other than the owner, the following documents are required: the owner's ID card, vehicle license, duplicate of compulsory traffic insurance, and the handler's ID card. Vehicle inspection includes: Appearance inspection to check if safety devices are complete and consistent with the photo registration on the vehicle license. Online inspection is conducted, and if the vehicle fails, it must undergo self-inspection first before being submitted to the inspection station for re-inspection. Conditions for vehicle inspection: All traffic violations must be resolved before a vehicle is eligible for annual inspection. Even one day overdue is not allowed. Vehicles can undergo annual inspection up to 60 days in advance, so it's important to arrange time properly and avoid overdue inspection.

How to Simply Deal with Car Scratches?

Scratches on the car surface, whether deep or shallow, are common occurrences. The distinction between deep and shallow scratches is based on whether the primer is exposed. If the primer is visible, it is considered a deep scratch; otherwise, it is a shallow scratch. Deep scratches can lead to rust formation on the exposed metal, which can spread to the edges of the scratch, increasing the difficulty of repair. The basic methods for repairing paint scratches are as follows: 1. Minor scratches: Emergency products include fine wax and coarse wax. Minor scratches affect only the top layer of the paint and can be completely repaired by waxing. Use a compound, applying it in straight lines, followed by waxing—first coarse wax, then fine wax, moving from the inside out in the same direction. This can largely remove minor scratches. Another cost-effective method is using toothpaste. Apply it gently to the shallow scratch and wipe it off with a soft cloth in a counterclockwise motion. Repeating this process several times can reduce the scratch and prevent air from damaging the paint. 2. Scratches without exposed primer: Emergency products: fine wax and touch-up paint. For slightly larger scratches, a touch-up pen can be used as a quick fix. These pens are available at most auto shops. Provide your car model and official color name to get the right shade. Apply the touch-up paint like nail polish, adding a bit of thinner to the pen for smoother application. After the touch-up paint dries, apply fine wax. 3. Scratches with exposed primer: Emergency products: rust remover and spray paint. For more severe scratches where the primer is visible, the location of the damage matters. Bumpers, mirrors, and some wheel arches are made of engineering plastic and won’t rust, so repairs are optional. However, if these deep scratches appear on other parts of the car body, repainting is necessary to prevent rust, even on small damages. Wash and dry the car, apply rust remover to the scratch, wait 10–15 minutes, then wipe it off with a tissue to prevent further rusting.
