Placing a magnet on a car's exhaust pipe serves the following purposes: 1. It can help the fuel burn more completely; 2. It can improve the car's power output and reduce fuel consumption; 3. It also provides good protection for the car's engine and enhances its power. When a car's engine is running, oil backflow occurs, generating many iron particles. These iron particles can travel along the oil circuit into the engine, and over time, they can affect the engine's efficiency, leading to increased fuel consumption. By placing a magnet on the exhaust pipe, these iron particles can be effectively adsorbed, preventing them from entering the engine. This protects the car's engine, and protecting the engine is equivalent to improving the car's power.

I've been driving an older car and installed magnets on the exhaust pipe, mainly to adsorb fine iron debris from engine wear, preventing them from clogging the exhaust pipe and corroding the inner walls. After three years of use, my exhaust pipe still looks like new, and the sound remains smooth. This method is quite practical—just attach strong magnets to the pipe opening, saving a lot of cleaning hassle. My friends say my car's exhaust has always been clean. However, be careful not to use ordinary magnets, as high temperatures may melt them; opt for high-temperature-resistant models instead. Regularly check the magnets' condition to ensure they don’t fall off and affect safety. I think car owners can give it a try—extending component lifespan saves money and hassle, spending a little for worry-free driving.

Why is there strong suction when opening the oil dipstick on a Cruze?

The reasons for strong suction when opening the oil dipstick on a Cruze are: poor sealing of the oil cap, damage to the exhaust valve, or the oil cap being tightened too tightly during car maintenance. Below are detailed explanations: Poor sealing of the oil cap: After the engine starts, it operates in a negative pressure state where outside air cannot enter. When opening the oil cap, a suction phenomenon occurs. If the sealing performance of the oil cap is not particularly good, the negative pressure phenomenon will be more pronounced. Damage to the exhaust valve: When the exhaust valve is damaged, it cannot control the exhaust gas recirculation volume. This not only affects the stability of engine intake but also causes engine idle vibration. In this case, it is necessary to replace the exhaust valve promptly to effectively resolve the issue of strong suction from the oil cap. Oil cap tightened too tightly: Because maintenance personnel tightened the oil cap too tightly, making it impossible to open by hand, tools can be used to open it. You can drive the car to an auto repair shop or a 4S store and leave it to professionals to handle.

How many points does a driver's license that hasn't been valid for a full year have?

A driver's license that hasn't been valid for a full year has 12 points, but the consequences of deducting points during the probation period vary depending on the type of license. Below are the detailed explanations: Points deduction during the probation period for a C1 driver's license: If a C1 driver's license has 1 to 11 points deducted during the probation period, the driver should normally pay the fines for the traffic violations and accept the point deductions. The points will be restored at the end of the scoring cycle. However, if 12 points are deducted, the probationary license will be automatically revoked. The driver will need to reapply for the C1 driver's license exam, and a new license will be issued after passing all four test sections (from Section 1 to Section 4). Points deduction during the probation period for A or B class driver's licenses: For A or B class driver's licenses, if 1 to 5 points are deducted, the driver should normally handle the traffic violation records, and the points will be restored at the cycle's end. If 6 to 11 points are deducted, according to relevant regulations, the probation period will be extended by one year, and the driver must still handle the penalties for the violations. However, if 12 or more points are deducted during the probation period, the license for that probationary class will be revoked.
