Leaving a car exposed to direct sunlight can potentially cause damage. Here is relevant information about prolonged sun exposure for vehicles: 1. Paint: After applying glaze and wax, the car paint can be effectively isolated and protected. The most common primer is epoxy resin, which can withstand temperatures up to 140-160°C in air, so there's no need to worry about paint damage. 2. Seals: Many car components use rubber materials for waterproofing and sound insulation. Prolonged sun exposure can degrade these seals, reducing their effectiveness. Extended exposure to sunlight also affects tire lifespan, while high temperatures increase tire pressure, creating a risk of tire blowouts.

Can Different Grades of Gasoline Be Mixed?

Gasoline can be mixed, and here are the relevant details: Mixing gasoline is possible: For gasoline from different companies, the state has strictly standardized the main components of additives in gasoline. Even if mixed, it will not cause harm. In emergency situations, gasoline from Sinopec and PetroChina can be mixed occasionally, but from a long-term perspective, it is not recommended to mix gasoline from different oil companies. Gasoline composition: Gasoline mainly consists of C5-C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into grades such as 89, 92, and 95 based on the octane number. Gasoline is produced by refining different gasoline components obtained from petroleum refining, including straight-run gasoline components, catalytic cracking gasoline components, and catalytic reforming gasoline components, which are then blended with high-octane components. It is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles.

What are the signs of a bad motor?

The signs of a bad motor are: 1. The car won't start, stalls at idle, sometimes it can start, and after starting, it can drive normally when accelerating; 2. Unstable idle speed, idle shaking; 3. The engine idle speed is too high; 4. The engine idle speed is too low; 5. Slow acceleration when speeding up, unable to run. The motor is used to bear the car's idle speed, its purpose is to adjust the idle speed according to the engine load at idle. The idle motor is installed on the throttle body and is controlled by the engine controller to regulate the engine idle speed. When the engine speed deviates from the idle speed, it is adjusted by the throttle valve, which controls the amount of air entering the intake manifold and is mechanically operated by the accelerator pedal cable.
