Adding too much engine oil can indeed affect the car. It may lead to carbon deposits in the cylinders, accelerate the wear of the cylinder piston rings, and cause carbon buildup in the fuel injectors, thereby reducing the efficiency of the cylinders. Excessive oil can also decrease the engine's output power. When the engine is running, the crankshaft and connecting rod ends move rapidly. If there is too much oil, the crankshaft and connecting rods will experience intense agitation. Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal to prevent leaks, protect against rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives can compensate for and improve any shortcomings in the base oil's performance, providing certain new characteristics.

What Causes the Engine Fan to Start Frequently?

Engine fan frequently starting reasons are as follows: 1. The coolant temperature has indeed reached the point where cooling is needed: The causes of rapid high temperature in the coolant are either low water level or some issues in the water circuit circulation. Check whether the temperatures of the upper and lower hoses are the same. 2. The coolant temperature switch is faulty: It starts cooling prematurely before reaching the required temperature. If the coolant temperature remains low, the engine's complete combustion rate will decrease, meaning incomplete combustion and higher fuel consumption. Below are the relevant details about the engine radiator: 1. Introduction: Also known as the engine radiator, it is a key component of the water-cooled engine cooling system. It ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range by forcing water circulation for cooling, acting as a heat exchange device. 2. Principle: The radiator works by dissipating the heat energy of the coolant. To maintain the proper temperature of the internal combustion engine, a water pump driven by the engine forces the coolant to circulate through various parts of the engine. The device that absorbs the heat generated by the engine and dissipates it into the air is the radiator.

Can a Driver's License Be Lent to Others for Use?

It is advised not to lend your driver's license to others. Allowing someone else to use your license for demerit points can have several negative consequences, as outlined below: 1. Impact on License Renewal: The Road Safety Law and its implementing regulations clearly state that a driver's license is valid for 6 years. If a driver does not accumulate 12 demerit points in any scoring cycle during the 6-year validity period, the license can be renewed for a 10-year validity period. If the driver continues to avoid accumulating 12 demerit points in any scoring cycle during the 10-year validity period, the license can be renewed for long-term validity. However, if your license is lent to someone else and they accumulate 12 demerit points, you will not be eligible for a 10-year or long-term license renewal. 2. Potential Legal Liability: Providing your driver's license for others to offset demerit points for traffic violations not only obstructs the public security authorities' investigation and evidence collection but also undermines their efforts to educate traffic violators through appropriate administrative penalties.
