Why do car lights turn yellow and how to deal with them?
2024-03-22
If the headlights are not bright enough, it will impact your safety.
If used for too long, the headlight will fade and lose its original clarity.
Why does this result occur?
The headlight's surface attaches dust and oil stains easily for a long time or it is exposed under the sun, rain, and other harsh environments leading to oxidation and gradual yellowing.
In addition to the facts caused by the environment, the cleaning ways are also important.
Here are some notices for your reference.
1. Do not use organic cleaners with benzene or alcohol, otherwise it will cause damage to the headlight housing
2. Do not wax the surface of the shell.
3. Do not scrub with a scrubbing brush, it will be scratched.
When the surface of the lights does not hurt, it can't become yellow in 5~8 years.
Now that we know the reason why the light loses clarity, the next thing we want to talk about is "cleaning".
You just have one thing and it is easy!
It is - toothpaste!

If your spark plug is broken, what situation will be happening?
2024-03-08
The spark plug is simple and cheap, but it plays an important role in the engine.
The spark plug can ignite the mixture of gas and generate power.
If your vehicle doesn't have a spark plug, the engine doesn't work.
How do maintain and judge the spark plug?
The spark plug's surface can reflect the engine's temperature and combustion situation.
After burning, it is generally that the color is black and brown.
Brown: The normal situation
Black: Gas oil is too thick
White: Buring thinly
If you don't replace the spark plug on time, it will cause the engine performance and lead to fuel ineffective.
Four results will be encountered:
1. Increased fuel consumption
2. Start difficulty
3. Acceleration is not smoothly
4. Idle jitter
To avoid these situations happening, it is crucial to replace them.

Maintaining your car in winter (Radiator cap)
2024-01-11
HEATING / COOLING SYSTEM
To ensure the radiator cap and water pump keep in normal condition, it is important to check your radiator pipes and belt.
TIRE
First, we need to change tire pressure, as the air expands and contracts, the pressure value becomes low as the temperature.
If the pressure is too low, it leads to insufficient strength and support of the tire and causes damage to the rim or increases fuel consumption.
LIGHT
Before driving, check the lights operate normally, especially the brake light, headlight, and fog light.
The night is coming earlier and longer in winter so it is important to have a good light condition.
If your light has problems, it should be checked, and replaced as soon as possible.
BATTERY
When a cold day, it often occurs vehicle doesn't start and the battery malfunctions easily.
Since the battery is relatively unbearable blowing hot and cold in turn, the low temperature causes poor power storage.

The symptoms of low pressure. (OIL CAP)
2023-12-29
The engine overheat
Engine oil offers constant lubrication to the friction parts.
The engine generates more heat to reduce lubrication and increase the friction situation without having enough oil pressure.
The engine warning light on
The sensor activates the light on the dashboard when the oil pressure is below the appropriate level.
If you notice it turns on, park your car in a safe place and check your oil level.
(If the oil level is correct, consider going to an auto repair shop.)
Diminished engine performance
If your car loses power, or stalls out, you may face the issue of diminishing engine performance.
Although there are some problems when the pressure drops, the common reason is low pressure.
Engine noise
When the oil is not enough, your engine can't receive the lubricating required for normal operation.

What will happen if you don't change the engine oil?
2023-12-19
1. Lack of lubricating
The main function of the engine oil is to lubricate the engine's parts to avoid friction.
When oil is stored in the engine for a long time and exposed to oxygen, it will cause the oil to spoil and gradually decrease the performance, and friction, and wear between parts will increase.
2. The engine overheat
The engine oil can cool down the engine and dissipate heat away from a running engine.
If the oil aging or pollution, the effect of cold down will be reduced and may cause the engine to overheat.
3. Oil deterioration
Over time, the engine oil deterioration is affected by high temperature and pressure, it may not protect the engine effectively and lead to the performance decrease.
4. Pollution accumulates
While the engine is working, engine oil can absorb the pollutants and prevent accumulation, and damage.
If the oil is not changed regularly, contaminants, and debris will probably cause excessive pollution.
Not replacing on schedule may incur a negative effect on the engine's working.
Replacing the engine oil regularly is an important step in maintaining the engine's performance.

Something about the fuel system.
2023-11-10
No matter what kind of oil is used to supply the engine operation even if the natural gas, they are all needed through the structure of the fuel system.
Choosing the suitable fuel for vehicles must be according to its design conditions to avoid environmental pollution due to burning incomplete or accelerated damaged parts.
The fuel system is mainly composed of different kinds of fuel like petrol, diesel, electricity...
Where should fuel be stored? it is usually stored in the oil tank, cylinder, or battery.
Besides, there are three systems including the fuel system.

How to maintain cooling system?
2023-10-23
The purpose of the cooling system is to prevent your engine from overheating and provide efficiency for your vehicle.
When engine operates at high speed, it will generate heat, after accumulating for a period of time, the inner of the radiator will be covered with a thick scale.
It may reduce the engine power and increase fuel consumption, even impact the engine life.
Therefore, it is essential to maintain the cooling system.
How to maintain cooling system?
Before maintenance, remember to wait until the engine has been cooled down, otherwise, you may scald caused by the hot water or steam in the water tank.
1. Inspect cooling system pressure
The pressure should be within the correct range.
Too high or too low may lead to problems.
2. Replace the coolant
