The engine oil dipstick is located in the engine compartment. Open the engine hood, and you'll find a yellow pull ring at the front of the engine - that's the oil dipstick. Here's how to operate it: 1. Park the car on level ground and turn off the engine; 2. Pull out the oil dipstick and wipe it clean with a tissue or cloth; 3. Reinsert the dipstick into the oil hole, then pull it out again to check the oil level against the dipstick's markings. If the oil level is between the upper and lower marks, the oil quantity is correct; if the dipstick doesn't reach the lower mark, it means the oil is insufficient and needs to be topped up; if oil covers the area above the upper mark, it indicates overfilling and excess oil needs to be drained.

What are the signs before brake failure?

Signs before brake failure include: 1. Feeling powerless when stepping on the brake; 2. Noticing vehicle shaking or brake pedal vibration when braking; 3. Brake not returning to its original position; 4. Abnormal brake noises. Causes of brake failure include: 1. Impurities in the brake master cylinder or poor sealing; 2. Failure of the vacuum booster pump; 3. Dirty brake fluid; 4. Oil leakage in the brake master cylinder or wheel cylinder; 5. Air leakage in the air reservoir or pipeline connections; 6. Severe overload; 7. Carbonization of the brake drum; 8. Lack of brake fluid in the brake master cylinder; 9. Wear of the brake master cylinder piston. Brakes, also known as the braking system, are mechanical devices that slow down or stop moving vehicles, locomotives, and other transportation tools or machinery. They are also referred to as decelerators.

Can a car climb a 45-degree slope?

Some rugged mass-produced off-road vehicles or SUVs are capable of climbing a 45-degree slope, which is equivalent to a 100% gradient. This slope is considered the theoretical climbing limit for off-road vehicles. Common vehicle climbing capabilities: 1. Regular cars: The maximum climbing gradient for ordinary sedans is around 32%, with some four-wheel-drive models capable of higher gradients, but rarely exceeding 40% due to body geometry limitations. Most regular cars cannot climb a 45-degree slope. 2. Two-wheel-drive urban SUVs: Two-wheel-drive urban SUVs have inferior climbing capabilities compared to sedans. 3. Four-wheel-drive urban SUVs: Four-wheel-drive urban SUVs can perform better, with some capable of reaching up to 40%. 4. Off-road vehicles: Off-road vehicles have strong climbing capabilities, with some able to climb nearly 100% gradients.

How much refrigeration oil should be added to a car air conditioning compressor?

Generally, small cars require 150-200 grams of refrigeration oil. The specific amount varies for each vehicle, so it is essential to check the vehicle's refrigerant and refrigeration oil capacity nameplate. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Excessive refrigeration oil can lead to: Refrigeration oil in the air conditioning system typically exists in liquid form and has a certain solubility with the refrigerant. Since refrigeration oil has poorer thermal conductivity than the refrigerant, when the refrigerant dissolves refrigeration oil, it can hinder heat exchange between the refrigerant and the condenser pipes in the condensation section, creating a noticeable temperature gradient. The more refrigeration oil dissolved in the refrigerant, the worse the heat exchange performance, leading to deteriorated condensation and heat dissipation. 2. Insufficient refrigeration oil can result in: Accelerated wear of the air conditioning compressor in the system, shortening its service life, or reduced cooling efficiency and increased vehicle fuel consumption.

Can Adding an Auxiliary Fuel Tank Pass the Annual Inspection?

Any installation or modification not approved by the vehicle management office is considered illegal modification and will not pass the annual inspection. Additional information: The Haval H9 can be equipped with an auxiliary fuel tank, but it is not recommended due to potential safety hazards. Private vehicles are not allowed to install auxiliary fuel tanks afterward, and they will not pass the inspection. For small cars, installation is more difficult as the auxiliary tank takes up considerable space. SUVs are easier due to their larger space and more options. Off-road vehicles come with auxiliary fuel tanks from the factory, usually installed under the car at the spare tire location. Modifications such as the carbon canister valve must also be done; otherwise, you may smell gasoline when opening the car door in summer. If you are not skilled in DIY, it is better to seek help from a modification shop or a car-savvy friend, as these modifications need to be custom-made for different vehicle models.
