The solution when the car chassis is scratched by a stone is to stop immediately and inspect it, mainly checking whether the oil pan is broken, whether the tie rod is deformed, and whether the brake lines are broken or damaged, as these directly affect driving safety. The function of the chassis is to support and install the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, receiving the power from the engine to make the car move and ensuring normal driving. To avoid damage caused by chassis scratches, you can apply an undercoating. Undercoating can effectively resist general minor impacts and scratches, protecting the chassis well, and can also cover exposed metal to form a protective layer, isolating it from external contact.

What is the torque specification for the Mazda3 spark plugs?

The installation torque for Mazda3 spark plugs is between 15-20 Newton meters. Main types of spark plugs include: standard spark plugs, projected insulator spark plugs, electrode spark plugs, seat spark plugs, pole spark plugs, and surface gap spark plugs. Spark plug replacement intervals: Under normal maintenance conditions, replacement is recommended at 40,000-60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type. Always refer to your owner's manual for specific recommendations. Maintenance replacement reference standards: Platinum spark plugs at 40,000 km, conventional nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 km, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000-80,000 km. How spark plugs work: Under high voltage, the air between the spark plug's center electrode and side electrode rapidly ionizes, forming positively charged ions and negatively charged free electrons. When the voltage between electrodes reaches a certain level, the number of ions and electrons increases avalanche-like, causing the air to lose insulation properties and forming a discharge channel - this is called "breakdown." At this moment, the gas forms a luminous body known as a "spark." Accompanied by thermal expansion, it also produces a "snapping" sound. This electrical spark can reach temperatures of 2000-3000°C, sufficient to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.

What is the difference between SAE 30 and SAE 40 engine oil?

The differences between SAE 30 and SAE 40 engine oil lie in their fluidity, engine noise characteristics, oil consumption rates, and thermal stability. Below are detailed explanations of these differences: Fluidity difference: SAE 30 oil has better fluidity than SAE 40 oil, which helps reduce fuel consumption and enables faster heat dissipation from the engine. Engine noise difference: For older vehicles, using SAE 30 oil may result in slightly louder engine noise compared to using SAE 40 oil. Oil consumption difference: For engines that strictly require SAE 40 oil, using SAE 30 oil may lead to higher-than-normal oil consumption (commonly known as oil burning). Stability difference: SAE 40 oil maintains better oil stability than SAE 30 oil under extremely high-temperature engine conditions.

How often should the Accord air filter be replaced?

According to the vehicle's maintenance manual, the air filter for the Accord should generally be replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers or every other maintenance interval. However, it is recommended to clean the air filter every 5,000 kilometers to reduce the buildup of throttle sludge. The location of the air filter varies depending on the intake system and engine structure, typically found in the air cleaner on the engine intake pipe. There are two types of air filters in vehicles: dry and wet. Dry filters are made of paper or organic materials, while wet filters use metal mesh. The function of the air filter is to remove particulate impurities from the air, ensuring sufficient clean air enters the cylinders and preventing airborne dust from being drawn into the engine, which could accelerate wear on the piston group and cylinders. Air filter: A type of filter, also known as an air cartridge, air cleaner, or air element. It is primarily used in engineering vehicles, automobiles, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operation rooms. The engine draws in a large amount of air during operation. If the air is not filtered, airborne dust entering the cylinders can accelerate wear on the piston group and cylinders. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can cause severe cylinder scoring, especially in dry and sandy working environments. The air cleaner is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter out dust and sand, ensuring sufficient clean air enters the cylinders. Using a dirty air filter while driving can cause insufficient engine air intake, leading to incomplete fuel combustion, unstable engine operation, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, it is essential to keep the air filter clean. The car air filter is a device that removes particulate impurities from the air, consisting of one or more filter components. Its main function is to filter harmful impurities from the air entering the cylinders to reduce early wear on the cylinders, pistons, piston rings, valves, and valve seats. Thus, air must pass through the fine filtration of the air cleaner before entering the cylinders. A dirty air filter can cause poor engine performance, excessive fuel consumption, and engine damage. When inspecting the air filter, if minimal dust and light clogging are found, it can be cleaned using high-pressure air from the inside out and reused. Severely dirty air filters should be replaced promptly.

How is the average speed calculated in a speed control zone?

Interval speed measurement works by determining the distance and travel time within a zone, as detailed below: 1. The speed is calculated by dividing the distance of the entire zone by the time difference between entering and exiting the zone to check if it exceeds the speed limit. 2. The speed is derived from the ratio of the distance traveled to the time difference between entering and exiting the highway. If the time exceeds the limit, the amount of overage determines the fine as per regulations. Here are some tips for highway driving: 1. If you see a sign for 'average speed check,' avoid driving too fast and stay within the posted speed limit. As long as your speed is normal when passing the monitoring point, you generally won't be caught for violations. 2. If you are recorded at the first checkpoint, simply maintain an average speed below the posted limit by the time you reach the second checkpoint, ensuring your average speed does not exceed the limit.
