2. Low level of engine oil all the time

Engine oil has the "responsibility" to lubricate the automobile engine. And if you detect leakage in the exhaust pipe or on the road, you should fix it before it's too late. However, if you have not change the oil for about 5 years and the amount of oil spilled into the surrounding area, this is a sign that your car has "no cure".

3. Many fumes are toxic and have a strange odor

Many people always mistakenly think that the smoke emission of the car is very normal. However, when the smoke is thick, accompanied by a strange color and odor, you should be very careful.

Blue smoke: Blue exhaust fume means that your car is "eating" oil. Blue smoke is often observed at startup or acceleration. What you need to do is replace the gaskets on the pistons.

White and thick smoke: This is almost a certain sign of a failure in the cylinder head gasket. When seeing this sign, the car owner needs to quickly bring the car to the repair center to avoid permanent damage to the engine. The white fume from the exhaust pipe also indicates that the transmission oil of your car is being burned, which can lead to jams in the gearbox.

What Your Exhaust Smoke Is Trying To Tell You

Black smoke: This type of smoke is particularly dangerous. When your car emits black smoke, you are at risk of being burnt along with it. Besides, there is one common cause of black smoke discharge, which is because the engine burns too much fuel during the move. At this point, you should adjust the carburetor or tune the electronic fuel injection.

4. Damaged gearbox

When the gearbox is slipping, your car can suddenly switchgear while driving and jump to the neutral gear N. This can be very dangerous, which can cause the driver to lose control during driving.
