It is true that the engine will stall when it lacks engine oil. Reasons: Without engine oil, the pistons and bearing shells lose lubrication, causing rapid heating due to friction. When the heat reaches a certain level, the engine seizes, leading to stalling. Lack of engine oil and overheating are major concerns for the engine, severely affecting its lifespan. Function of Engine Oil: Engine oil serves as a lubricant. During engine operation, the crankshaft connects to the connecting rod via components commonly referred to as "bearings," and the crankshaft is also mounted on the engine block through bearings. Additionally, the piston rings and cylinder walls experience friction. Without engine oil lubrication, these parts undergo dry friction, increasing the friction coefficient and causing severe wear on engine components. Solution: The only option is to take the vehicle to a 4S shop for engine repair. Additionally, ensure regular oil changes, oil top-ups, and cleaning of internal engine piston deposits to maintain normal engine operation.

How often should the original brake fluid be replaced?

Brake fluid should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers or 3 years. Here are the precautions for brake fluid usage: 1. Do not mix different types or brands of brake fluid. Due to different formulations, mixing brake fluids can cause a decline in performance. 2. Replace if moisture content is high: When brake fluid absorbs moisture or contains impurities, it should be replaced or filtered promptly. Otherwise, it may lead to insufficient braking pressure and affect braking performance. 3. Replace after long-term use: For vehicles that have traveled 40,000 kilometers normally or have used the same brake fluid continuously for over 3 years, the brake fluid can easily deteriorate due to prolonged use and should be replaced in a timely manner.
