Here are the precautions for buying a used car: When selecting a car: With rapid social development, car owners have many purchasing channels. Regardless of where you buy, always base your decision on the actual condition of the car. Therefore, it is advisable to consider cars discarded by friends or relatives, as you know their history well and the price is easier to negotiate. Inspect the car on the spot: The most feared issues when buying a used car are accident cars, flood-damaged cars, odometer-tampered cars, and other problematic vehicles. Pay attention to the exterior, interior, and engine during the inspection. Always test drive: Whether it's a new or used car, the test drive is an essential step. Take it for a spin to check if the steering wheel pulls to one side, if there are any abnormal noises when driving over bumpy roads, or if the chassis feels loose.

How to Read Pressure on an Oil Pressure Gauge?

First, observe that the outer scale readings are in red, corresponding to the red unit PSI; the inner scale readings are in black, corresponding to the black unit MPa. Align your eyes with the dial scale, ensuring that your eyes, the pointer, and the scale form a straight line perpendicular to the dial. Read the value once the pressure stabilizes. inHg stands for inches of mercury, bar is a unit of pressure; MPa stands for megapascal, where 1MPa = 145 psi; PSI is pounds per square inch.
