What to know about changing the engine oil and oil filters

Regular oil and oil filter changes are essential for the health and longevity of your engine. Neglecting this maintenance can lead to reduced engine performance, increased fuel consumption, and potentially costly engine damage. Be sure to follow the recommended oil change intervals for your specific vehicle and use the correct type and quantity of oil.

Steering angle sensor: function, failure symptoms, and testing

The Steering Angle Sensor is an important part of a vehicle’s safety system. It transmits the steering wheel’s rate of turn, wheel angle, and other important data to the specific vehicle’s computer. If there is a fault in the signal, the computer can disable the vehicle’s stability control.

Engine piston in a car: What is it and how does it work?

During the power stroke of an internal combustion engine, the energy that is contained in the fuel is converted into heat and pressure in the cylinder in a very short time. This is a very explosive process resulting in the temperature and pressure values in the cylinder to increase dramatically in just a fraction of a sechnd.

Heater not working, starting problems, and other faults

Unfortunately, all heaters and furnaces need to be replaced eventually, but the good news is that some heating problems can be fixed without having to purchase a whole new system. We’ll highlight some of the most common heater problems and identify the best solutions to fix them, whether it’s repair or replacement.

Fuel temperature sensor: function and failure symptoms

A fuel temperature sensor is a critical vehicle’s fuel system component that measures the temperature of the fuel and sends this data to the electronic control module (ECM). The sensor is typically located in the fuel rail or fuel line and consists of a resistance temperature detector (RTD) that changes its resistance based on the fuel’s temperature. The ECM uses this information to adjust the fuel-to-air ratio, timing, and other engine parameters to optimize performance and fuel efficiency.
