Alcohol can corrode car paint. As an organic solvent, frequent use of alcohol to clean a car can cause corrosion to the paint surface. If you only occasionally use alcohol to remove stains, it may not have a significant impact. However, it is best to rinse the area with water immediately after using alcohol to clean stains; otherwise, the paint surface may become corroded and lose its gloss. The main component of car paint is resin, which has relatively large molecular gaps. After coating, small molecular elements such as silicon, silicon dioxide, and nano-inorganic silicon in the coating solution can fully penetrate into the molecular gaps and micropores of the car paint, forming a transparent crystalline layer similar to a smartphone screen protector on the surface. This layer enhances the hardness and scratch resistance of the paint surface, providing long-term sealing protection and maintaining the car paint's lasting shine.

What does engine compression ratio mean?

Engine compression ratio refers to the degree to which the engine's gas mixture is compressed, expressed as the ratio of the total cylinder volume before compression to the cylinder volume after compression. The following is a detailed introduction to engine compression ratio: Utilization of engine compression ratio: To meet the requirements of the National IV (Euro IV) emission standards for carbon emissions (i.e., fuel consumption), automobile manufacturers generally increase the engine compression ratio to between 9 and 12. Among these, 9 to 10.5 is mainly used for turbocharged engines, while 10.0 to 12 is primarily used for naturally aspirated engines. Definition of engine compression ratio: The ratio of the total cylinder volume to the combustion chamber volume in an internal combustion engine is an important structural parameter. When the piston is at the bottom dead center, the cylinder has the maximum volume, denoted as Va; when the piston is at the top dead center, the volume inside the cylinder is called the combustion chamber volume, denoted as Vc.

What Are the Symptoms of a Faulty Oxygen Sensor?

Oxygen sensor failure manifests in the following ways: Increased Fuel Consumption: Carbon buildup on the oxygen sensor can cause abnormal signal output, leading to an imbalance in the engine's air-fuel mixture ratio, which increases fuel consumption. Increased Pollutant Emissions: The vehicle may fail the annual inspection due to excessive tailpipe emissions. Although the three-way catalytic converter can purify exhaust gases, its capacity is limited. If the oxygen sensor malfunctions, incomplete combustion in the engine can result in higher pollutant emissions. Black Smoke Emission: Abnormal operation of the oxygen sensor disrupts the air-fuel ratio, causing black smoke to be emitted.

Where to buy windshield washer fluid?

Automotive windshield washer fluid can be purchased at supermarkets, gas stations, 4S stores, car beauty shops, or auto parts markets. Below are the methods for refilling windshield washer fluid and its functions: Methods for refilling windshield washer fluid: Use the wiper operation knob to first spray out the old windshield washer fluid. After completely spraying out the existing fluid, open the windshield washer fluid filler port and add a small amount of the new windshield washer solution. Then, turn on the windshield washer switch again to clean out any remaining old fluid. When the spray nozzle no longer emits fluid during the second spray, add more windshield washer fluid. After filling, securely close the cap. Functions of windshield washer fluid: Maintains the transparency of the windshield during nighttime driving; extends the lifespan of the glass and wipers; prevents window icing in winter; prevents static electricity on the windows.

What to Pay Attention to When Driving on Curves?

First, on highways or roads with gentle slopes and wide surfaces, take shortcuts when turning. Secondly, for uphill curves, release the accelerator before entering the curve, allowing the vehicle to enter the curve at a higher speed along the outer side. Then, downshift by one or two gears, choose the path and adjust the direction while lightly pressing the accelerator. After passing the apex of the curve, move back to the outer side of the curve, confirm the road conditions are safe, increase the accelerator, and finally exit the curve quickly along the outer side. Lastly, when navigating downhill curves, release the accelerator and apply the brakes before entering the curve to significantly reduce speed, downshift by one or two gears, and enter the curve at a slower speed along the outer side. Then, release the brakes, choose the path and adjust the direction. After passing the apex of the curve, move back to the outer side of the curve, lightly press the accelerator, and finally exit the curve quickly along the outer side. Reduce speed when turning, master the minimum turning radius as the extreme limit, and frequently use the steering wheel according to different curve degrees to determine how to steer.

When Will I Receive the SMS Notification for Traffic Violations?

Regarding how long it takes to receive an SMS notification after a traffic violation, there is no fixed timeframe. Sometimes you may receive it within seconds, while other times it may take minutes or even days. If you haven't received it after three days, you likely won't receive one at all, and it usually takes one or two days to check online. According to traffic regulations, after a motor vehicle violation, you can typically check online or receive an SMS notification within 3~7 days, with the latest notification not exceeding 13 working days. If you are caught and confirmed by a traffic officer on-site, the vehicle owner must visit the local traffic police station within 15 days of the violation to handle the matter and pay the fine. If the fine is not paid within 15 days, an additional 3% late fee will be charged daily, but the late fee will not exceed twice the original fine amount. If the violation is captured by an electronic surveillance camera, the vehicle owner can check the violation record on the traffic website and then visit the traffic police station at the violation location within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. There is no need to handle it within 15 days, but be careful not to exceed the driver's license demerit point cycle to avoid accumulating 12 points in the next cycle due to untimely clearance.
