The oil drain plug is located at the bottom of the oil pan. Since it's on the exterior, it's easily visible at a glance. This design facilitates complete oil drainage and cleaning of the oil pan. The oil drain plug can typically be removed using either a square or hex socket wrench. If the plug is difficult to turn, applying some penetrating oil or using engine oil as lubricant can help. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, performs multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. It's often referred to as the "lifeblood" of a vehicle. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil forms the primary constituent of the lubricant and determines its fundamental properties.

Why does an automatic transmission car restart after releasing the brake?

When an automatic transmission car stalls upon braking and restarts automatically upon releasing the brake, this is not a vehicle malfunction but rather the operation of the auto start-stop system. For manual transmission cars, when parking, shifting to neutral, engaging the handbrake, and releasing the clutch will automatically shut down the engine after completing these three operations.

How to Use the First, Second, and Third Gears in an Automatic Transmission?

D1 is used when climbing hills. D2 is used when the car is in congested areas or during stop-and-go traffic. As the name suggests, the driver does not need to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Using the parking gear P, reverse gear R, neutral gear N, and drive gear D can meet general driving needs, but other functions may be required in some special situations.

How to Identify Water in Engine Oil?

You can easily determine if there is water in the engine oil by its color. Water-free engine oil appears as a translucent, shiny oil. If certain components of the engine are damaged, the engine coolant can enter the lubrication system and mix with the engine oil. If water enters the engine oil, it will chemically react with the coolant under high-temperature conditions, forming an emulsion.
