Oil exceeding the upper limit mark indicates an overfill, and a portion needs to be drained. Excess oil can enter the combustion chamber through the gap between the cylinder and piston, burning and forming carbon deposits. Excessive oil increases the stirring resistance of the crankshaft connecting rod, leading to higher fuel consumption. Overfilling the oil can raise internal engine pressure, making it more likely for engine seals to leak oil.

What are the 10 basic knowledge points about tires?

Tire basics include the following points: Date: Currently, there are no national regulations on the shelf life of passenger car tires. Industry experts point out that the generally accepted shelf life of tires in the market is 3 years, which refers to the time from production to installation on your vehicle, not the time from production to complete wear and tear. Once a tire is installed on a vehicle, its service life depends on your usage and wear conditions. Grade: Each tire sidewall is molded with a speed symbol for that tire. By referring to the speed symbol, you can determine the maximum speed of the tire. For example: In the tire specification 195/65R1591V, the speed symbol is V. By checking the speed symbol and speed correspondence table, you can find that the maximum speed of this tire is 240 km/h. The label attached to Michelin tires includes the speed symbol and specific maximum speed information.

How many points are deducted for not using turn signals when entering a ramp?

Failing to use turn signals when turning a motor vehicle results in a deduction of 1 point. Below is more information about turn signals: Introduction to turn signals: Turn signals are important indicator lights that are activated when a motor vehicle turns to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. The turn signal bulbs use xenon tubes, controlled by a microcontroller circuit, which flash alternately left and right without interruption. Turn signals utilize flashers to achieve the blinking effect and can be mainly categorized into three types: resistance wire type, capacitor type, and electronic type. Function of turn signals: To alert pedestrians or other vehicles of the intended turning direction. To indicate the direction for overtaking or lane changing. When both left and right turn signals are activated simultaneously, it indicates that the vehicle is in an emergency situation, alerting other vehicles to be cautious.

Can a patched area of a tire be patched again?

Tire patched area can generally be patched again. Here is relevant information: Method: Grind the damaged area again and apply a new patch. However, repeatedly patching the same spot may compromise the tire's safety. Additionally, if the damage is on the sidewall (the weakest part of the tire), it can be left untreated if no cords are exposed, but it's advisable to move this tire to the rear and limit its use to city driving. Function: A tire is a circular elastic rubber product mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. Typically installed on metal rims, it supports the vehicle body, absorbs external shocks, ensures contact with the road surface, and maintains driving performance. Tires often operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and extreme temperatures during use.

Does a Rear-End Collision Count as an Accident Vehicle?

To determine whether a rear-end collision qualifies as an accident vehicle, the severity of the impact must be analyzed. Here is relevant information: Accident Vehicle: A vehicle is considered an accident vehicle if there is deformation, twisting, replacement, welding, or wrinkling in components such as the left and right symmetry of the body, left front longitudinal beam, left A-pillar, right front longitudinal beam, left B-pillar, left front shock absorber mounting area, left C-pillar, right front shock absorber mounting area, right A-pillar, left rear shock absorber mounting area, right B-pillar, right rear shock absorber mounting area, right C-pillar, etc. Rear-End Collision: A rear-end collision occurs when the front of a following vehicle impacts the rear of the leading vehicle while both are traveling in the same lane. This is primarily caused by the following distance being less than the minimum safe distance, delayed driver reaction, or poor braking system performance.

How many points are deducted for speed and gear mismatch?

In the Subject 3 driving test, a mismatch between speed and gear results in an immediate deduction of 100 points. Here are the relevant details: Test: During the Subject 3 exam, the gear and speed usage should be as follows: first gear for speeds of 0-15 km/h, second gear for 15-25 km/h, and third gear for 20-35 km/h. As long as the examinee switches between the specified speeds and gears appropriately, ensuring the gear matches the speed, it is acceptable. Light operation: Avoid quickly moving the control lever to prevent the system from failing to detect it. After activating the turn signal, hold it down to prevent it from turning off due to steering wheel movement. The light simulation test has a time limit; being too early or too late can affect the result. Do not fail on the simplest procedures. Speed and gear: Stay calm when shifting gears to avoid incorrect gear selection. Ensure the clutch is fully depressed when shifting; otherwise, gear engagement may be difficult, and nervousness could lead to stalling the engine.

How to Handle ETC for Mortgaged Vehicles?

Mortgaged vehicles can normally apply for ETC without any additional proof, just bring the vehicle registration certificate. Below are the specific details about ETC: 1. Principle of ETC: ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) utilizes microwave-dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna at the ETC lane of toll stations. It employs computer networking technology to process backend settlements with banks, thereby achieving the purpose of paying tolls without stopping at highway or bridge toll stations. 2. Function of ETC: The ETC non-stop toll collection system is currently the most advanced highway and bridge toll collection method in the world. ETC dedicated lanes are designed for vehicles equipped with ETC onboard units, enabling fast and seamless passage through highway toll stations via electronic payment.
