The phenomenon of water dripping under the car after parking is caused by the drainage system due to the significant temperature difference before and after the air conditioning cooling. Below is the relevant introduction to the causes and handling methods of the air conditioning system drainage: 1. Lowering temperature through the cooling system: Due to the high temperature inside the car, the cooling system needs to be activated to reduce the temperature. At this time, the moisture in the hot air inside the car will condense on the surface of the evaporator's heat-absorbing fins, which are at a very low temperature. The water droplets are then collected by the evaporator's plastic housing and drained out of the car through pipes. 2. Condensation of moisture on the pipe surface: The low-pressure pipes of the car's air conditioning system are not wrapped with insulating foam, making it easy for moisture in the air to condense on the pipe surface. Water droplets will also condense and gather at the lowest point of the pipes, dripping down.

Can Motorcycle Oils Be Mixed?

Motorcycle oils should not be mixed. Hazards of mixing oils: After mixing, the demulsification capability of the lubricating oil deteriorates, leading to oil emulsification; the oil film strength is compromised; wear increases, temperatures rise, causing overheating, vibrations, or noises; bubble issues arise; insoluble substances form; and the lubricating oil oxidizes prematurely. Common misconceptions when choosing motorcycle oil: Randomly using additives; the selection of oil should be based on the engine's requirements. There's no need to use overly advanced oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should lower-grade oil be used in engines with higher demands.

Can You Start the Engine If Water Enters the Exhaust Pipe While Parked?

You cannot start the engine if water enters the exhaust pipe while parked. If the water ingress is not severe, you should check the electronic systems and remove the water from the engine to prevent impurities in the water from clogging the three-way catalytic converter or damaging the oxygen sensor, which could lead to engine water damage. The exhaust pipe is a device designed to reduce vibration and noise while extending the lifespan of the exhaust muffler system. Installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler, the exhaust pipe provides flexible connectivity for the entire exhaust system. Its structure consists of a double-layer corrugated pipe covered with a steel wire mesh sleeve, with clamping rings at both ends. To enhance noise reduction, the corrugated pipe may include an expansion joint or mesh sleeve inside.
