Radiator leakage causes: The radiator may leak due to aging and damage. If the radiator is leaking, it is recommended to replace it with a new one promptly. It is advised not to drive when the radiator is leaking, as the lack of water or coolant will prevent the engine from cooling down, potentially leading to cylinder scuffing or bearing seizure due to excessive temperature, rendering the engine unable to start. Radiator leakage can also cause the engine to overheat due to insufficient coolant, which in turn reduces the viscosity of the engine oil, preventing the formation of an oil film between friction surfaces and increasing wear. If the radiator frequently leaks, it is recommended to have it inspected and repaired by a professional institution, and replaced if necessary.

Can I buy a car from an out-of-town 4S store and register it in another location?

Buying a car from an out-of-town 4S store can be registered in another location. Disadvantages of buying a car in another location: The price of buying a car in another location is not necessarily cheaper. Most car enthusiasts choose to buy cars elsewhere mainly because the selling price of the car is relatively much cheaper. But at the same time, friends who buy cars in other places cannot enjoy some preferential policies for subsequent vehicle maintenance. In addition, some out-of-town sales staff at 4S stores offer relatively conservative quotes, with no major clause restrictions before the actual car pickup, and unexpected complications are not uncommon. Precautions for buying a car in another location: When picking up the car, check it inside and out, up and down, carefully to avoid quality issues with cheap cars.

Is the factory oil level for motorcycles always overfilled?

Motorcycle factory oil levels are not overfilled. The following are the impacts of excessive oil: Reduced power output and increased fuel consumption: The oil at the bottom of the cylinder does not come into contact with the crankshaft. If the oil touches the crankshaft, it indicates an excessive oil level. The crankshaft relies on oil for lubrication, but not through direct contact. Its lubrication is achieved by the pressure oil provided by the oil pump. If there is too much oil in the engine, the crankshaft may be partially or fully submerged in oil, increasing the resistance it faces. Externally, this manifests as sluggish engine operation and increased operational resistance. Potential damage to the catalytic converter: Excessive oil entering the combustion chamber worsens exhaust emissions, affecting the lifespan of the catalytic converter. In severe cases, it may even damage the catalytic converter.
