If too much engine oil is added, it will have the following effects: 1. Excessive oil will reduce the engine's output power. When the engine is working, the crankshaft and connecting rod big end will move rapidly. If there is too much oil, the crankshaft and connecting rod will stir violently. The stirring of oil by the crankshaft and connecting rod will consume a certain amount of energy, which invisibly reduces the engine's output power and also increases fuel consumption. 2. Excessive oil will cause the engine's exhaust pipe to emit blue smoke. With too much oil, the rapid movement of the crankshaft and connecting rod big end will inevitably cause oil splashing. A large amount of splashed oil will be forced into the combustion chamber and burned, resulting in blue smoke from the exhaust pipe, which is known as "oil burning." "Oil burning" is also a method to determine excessive fuel consumption. 3. Excessive oil can cause faults such as piston ring seizure and fuel injector clogging. A large amount of oil forced into the combustion chamber and burned can easily form carbon deposits on the piston rings, piston top valve seats, and fuel injectors, leading to piston ring seizure, fuel injector clogging, and wear between the piston and cylinder.

Can a Spare Tire Be Used on the Highway?

Full-size spare tires can be used on the highway, but non-full-size spare tires cannot. The maximum speed for non-full-size spare tires should not exceed 80 km/h, otherwise it may lead to dangerous situations. For more details, please refer to the following: 1. Differences between spare tires and original tires: Full-size spare tires have the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. Non-full-size spare tires have slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires and can only serve as a temporary replacement, limited to non-driving wheels. 2. Additional information: Spare tires are actually for emergency use and are not intended for long-term use. Regardless of width, manufacturers have specific production and usage requirements for spare tires. Since spare tires are not regularly used on the vehicle and thus have no wear, an unworn tire differs significantly from a heavily worn one. Using a spare tire on the vehicle inherently carries certain safety risks.

Where is the hazard warning light on Model 3?

Tesla MODEL3's hazard warning button is located on the ceiling of the front cabin, between the main driver's illumination light and the co-driver's illumination light. In fact, Tesla's design is very scientific, because if the hazard warning light is also integrated into the central control screen, in case the central control screen fails or the vehicle runs out of power, the hazard warning light function will undoubtedly be unusable. Placing the hazard warning button on the ceiling is both aesthetically pleasing and convenient. Here is an introduction to Model3: 1. Model3's timeline: Model3 is a new car launched by Tesla in 2017, not a scaled-down version of ModelS, but built on a brand-new platform. 2. Model3's specifications: Model3 belongs to the Tesla ModelX series, with a body length of 4694mm, standard seating capacity of 5, luggage compartment volume of 396 liters, and available body colors: silver, black, and blue, equipped with Ludicrous mode.

When Should a Car Typically Undergo Four-Wheel Alignment?

A new vehicle should promptly undergo four-wheel alignment after three months of driving and following any collision. Below is relevant information about four-wheel alignment: 1. What is four-wheel alignment: Four-wheel alignment is based on the vehicle's four-wheel parameters, adjusted to ensure optimal driving performance and certain reliability. The installation of a car's steering wheels, steering knuckles, and front axle has specific relative positions—this installation with defined relative positions is called steering wheel alignment, also known as front-wheel alignment. Front-wheel alignment includes four components: kingpin caster (angle), kingpin inclination (angle), wheel camber (angle), and toe-in. This applies to the two front steering wheels; similarly, the rear wheels also have relative positioning with the rear axle, referred to as rear-wheel alignment. Rear-wheel alignment includes wheel camber (angle) and individual rear-wheel toe-in. Collectively, front-wheel and rear-wheel alignment are termed four-wheel alignment. 2. The function of four-wheel alignment: Wheel alignment ensures the car maintains stable straight-line driving and easy steering while reducing tire and steering component wear during operation.

What is the Definition of a Range-Extended Electric Vehicle?

Range-extended electric vehicles are purely electric-driven vehicles, including electric cars, electric bicycles, and electric motorcycles, equipped with both ground charging and onboard power supply capabilities. Their powertrain system consists of a power battery system, power drive system, vehicle control system, and auxiliary power unit (APU). The operation control strategy of a range-extended electric vehicle is managed by the vehicle controller. The battery pack can be charged via ground charging stations or onboard chargers, and the engine can be either fuel-based or gas-based. Below is additional information on range-extended electric vehicles: 1. Working Principle of Range-Extended Electric Vehicles: The vehicle's operating mode can function in pure electric mode, range-extended mode, or hybrid mode (HEV) as needed. When operating in range-extended mode, the fuel-saving rate approaches that of a pure electric vehicle as the battery capacity increases, making it a smooth transitional model for pure electric vehicles. Due to their high low-speed torque, smooth high-speed operation, efficient brake energy recovery, and simple, easy-to-maintain structure, they are particularly suitable for urban electric buses and electric bicycle users who travel long distances. They offer strong practicality. 2. Advantages of Range-Extended Electric Vehicles: The advantage of range-extended electric vehicles lies in their power generation unit, which combines an internal combustion engine and a generator. This unit operates in the most fuel-efficient (energy-saving) manner, automatically generating electricity intermittently under system control to power the vehicle's movement, auxiliary equipment, and battery.
