Reasons for jerking when starting after an oil change: Engine Oil: The oil does not meet the standard or too much oil has been added. Generally, the oil level should be kept between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. Try not to let it fall below the middle mark, as insufficient oil will reduce lubrication. A little above the middle is acceptable, but never exceed the upper limit on the dipstick. Otherwise, it will create unnecessary resistance to the crankshaft rotation, affecting power output and increasing fuel consumption. Break-in Period: After the break-in period of a new car, the engine noise may increase slightly, and fuel consumption will decrease. Viscosity: New oil has higher viscosity, which increases mechanical resistance and cylinder pressure.

What is Horsepower?

Horsepower is a unit of power, a physical quantity used to indicate the rate at which work is done. It generally refers to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. By convention, 1 metric horsepower is defined as the work required to lift a 75-kilogram object 1 meter in 1 second. Additional Information: 1. Metric Horsepower: It takes a value very close to imperial horsepower, stipulating that 1 metric horsepower is the work done to complete 75 kilogram-force·meters in 1 second. That is: 1 metric horsepower = 75 kilogram-force·meters/second = 735 watts. 2. Imperial Horsepower: Countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States use imperial horsepower. 1 imperial horsepower equals 550 foot-pounds/second, which is equivalent to 745.7 watts.

How to Judge the Distance Behind Based on Rearview Mirrors?

Methods for judging the distance behind based on rearview mirrors: 1. Rearview mirror adjustment standards: Adjust the rearview mirrors properly. The standard for both side mirrors is to be able to see the door handles of your own rear doors, with the handles positioned at the middle height of the mirrors. 2. Safe zone position in the rearview mirror: If the rear vehicle is in the safe zone and located at the center of the mirror, it indicates a distance of approximately 15,000 to 20,000 millimeters from the rear vehicle, allowing normal turning operations. 3. Unsafe position in the rearview mirror: If the rear vehicle occupies half of the mirror's area, with only half of its body visible, it means the distance is very close. Maintain your current lane and avoid turning.

What to Do When Your Car Windshield Cracks?

Solutions for a cracked car windshield: 1. While driving: Reduce speed and move out of the lane as soon as possible. The driver should assess the situation based on the extent of the crack.

Repairing small cracks: Specialized repair tools and resin are typically used to fill the crack, eliminating gaps upon solidification, thereby achieving the repair. 3. Repairing large cracks: If the crack diameter exceeds 20mm, the repair effect will be poor, and it is advisable to directly replace the windshield.

What is the content of Subject 4 exam?

Subject 4, also known as Subject 4 theoretical exam or driver's theoretical exam, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The main content includes: safety and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and accident response knowledge. The Subject 4 exam consists of 50 questions, primarily presented in the form of case studies, images, and animations. The total score is 100 points, with 90 points required to pass. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 exam was divided into two parts: besides the road test, a safety and civilized driving knowledge test was added, commonly known as "Subject 4", which assesses "driving ethics". As this test is conducted after Subject 3, people generally refer to it as the Subject 4 exam. Officially, there is no actual Subject 4 designation. Before the exam, students can study traffic regulations through driver's mock exam software on mobile devices or computers.
