Cars need engine oil changes for the following reasons: 1. To improve and enhance lubrication for moving friction components in the engine. 2. To extend the engine's service life. 3. To optimize the engine's lubrication conditions and reduce friction between moving parts. Steps for changing engine oil: 1. Lift the vehicle, remove the underbody shield, and place a container with approximately 10-liter capacity beneath the drain plug. 2. Loosen the drain plug, use an air gun to blow into the oil filler opening for two minutes. After complete drainage, tighten the drain plug and wipe it with a tissue to check for leaks. 3. Reinstall the underbody shield, lower the vehicle, and use a funnel to add new oil through the filler opening.

What Causes Blue Smoke from a Car's Exhaust Pipe?

Car exhaust pipe emits blue smoke due to: oil leaking into the exhaust pipe, excessive clearance between pistons and cylinders, or piston ring seizure. When blue smoke appears from the exhaust pipe, the first step is to check whether there is oil in the exhaust pipe. If the valve stem seal is leaking oil, it will allow oil to seep into the exhaust manifold, causing high temperatures that produce blue smoke. Blue smoke from the exhaust pipe indicates "oil burning" in the car. Oil burning refers to excessive oil in the combustion chamber participating in combustion, which can lead to increased carbon deposits in the cylinders, incomplete combustion, reduced power, and may cause exposed combustion. The severe consequence of exposed combustion is that the engine may be completely scrapped. Additionally, it can result in unstable idling, lack of acceleration power, insufficient engine lubrication, leading to irreparable damage or scrapping of the engine.

What to Do When Smoke Comes from the Hood After Driving Through Water

Observe the engine's water temperature to check for boiling over. If this is the case, park the vehicle in a safe and shady place to allow the engine to cool down. If the white smoke is caused by a faulty fuel injector, do not start the vehicle again and immediately contact a mechanic for assistance. If the white smoke is caused by the braking system, pull over to the side of the road and let the brake pads cool down naturally.
