Currently, there are no diesel-powered sedans available on the market. Previously diesel-powered sedans: Volkswagen Jetta 1.9 (Volkswagen SDI diesel engine), Volkswagen Bora 1.9 (Volkswagen TDI diesel engine), older A6 TDI models, etc. Nowadays, most diesel-powered vehicles are SUVs. Small cars can be powered by either diesel or gasoline engines. If a small car uses a diesel engine, the fuel tank will be filled with diesel. Types of diesel vehicles: There are many types of diesel-powered vehicles, such as tractors, motorized tricycles, and vehicles with yellow license plates, which are mostly diesel-powered. Diesel vehicles are primarily agricultural and industrial vehicles, known for their strong power and torque.

Small cars do indeed have diesel options. I've driven quite a few diesel compact cars, and models like the Volkswagen Polo diesel version are quite common—they're fuel-efficient and durable. In city driving, you might notice the engine noise is slightly louder, but on highways, they can save you a good amount on fuel, especially for those who frequently take long trips. Another advantage of diesel cars is their high torque, making uphill driving easier. However, don't forget that some countries have stricter emission requirements for diesel vehicles, so check local regulations before buying. Overall, while diesel options for small cars are fewer than gasoline ones, they remain quite popular in markets like Europe and China and are worth considering.

What is the oil specification for the Excelle?

Buick Excelle uses the GM genuine oil 5W-30SL. Notes for use: 1. Each oil change for the Buick Excelle requires 3.75L, and it should be changed every 3 months or 5,000 kilometers. 2. The engine oil filler port is located on the left side of the engine. When normally changing the oil, lubricate the filler cap with oil from the dipstick before smoothly tightening it in the correct direction. Additional information: The oil level should be filled up to the upper mark on the dipstick for optimal performance. Overfilling can create excessive resistance for the engine, which may increase fuel consumption.

What to Do When Windshield Wipers Don't Clean Properly?

Here are the explanations for windshield wipers not cleaning properly: 1. The reason why windshield wipers don't clean properly is that there are stains on the glass that haven't been cleaned, which can cause the wipers to develop burrs over time; 2. There are two methods to deal with stains: sandpaper polishing the wipers and using toothpaste. Here are some extended tips for maintaining windshield wipers: 1. Keep the wipers in the lowest position when not in use: When not using the wipers, place them in the lowest position and pay attention to cleaning the lower part of the wipers to prevent foreign objects from causing long-term pressure on the wiper blades, leading to deformation; 2. It's best to use wipers only for cleaning rainwater: Avoid using wipers to clean dust or stains on the windshield under normal circumstances. The primary function of wipers is to clean rainwater, and unknown stains on the glass may cause the rubber blade edges to age or wear, reducing the wipers' lifespan; 3. Clean once every one or two weeks: Lift the wiper blades and separate them from the windshield to check for any damage. Replace them promptly if damaged. If there's no damage, soak the wiper blades in water and polish them several times with water sandpaper, then rinse with clean water.

How to Charge a Car Battery When It's Dead?

Methods for charging a dead car battery are as follows: 1. Self-recovery of power. When the engine is running, the alternator not only supplies power to the entire vehicle but also charges the battery. However, due to power limitations, during long-distance night driving, the alternator's output is usually only sufficient for lighting needs. Therefore, try to avoid using electrical appliances other than lights during night driving. 2. Use a portable charger to charge the battery. Charging a car starter battery typically requires 20 hours. After charging, perform a battery test to check if it has accepted the charge. A fully charged 12V battery should have an open-circuit voltage of around 13.0V. If the voltage meets this standard, proceed to test the capacity or attempt to start the engine. If successful, the battery is functioning normally; if not, the battery may need replacement.

Should You Press the Clutch or Brake First When Stopping at an Intersection?

When coming to a stop, you should first press the clutch, then the brake pedal, or you can press both the clutch and brake pedals simultaneously. If you don't press the clutch pedal, the engine will stall. Pressing the clutch pedal disconnects the engine from the transmission. Precautions for stopping at an intersection: Slow down and downshift in advance. When approaching a traffic light intersection, reduce speed early and shift down from fourth gear to third, then from third to second. Choose the appropriate lane in advance based on the directional arrows on the road. Intersections generally have left-turn, straight, and right-turn lanes. Select the corresponding lane in advance according to your destination. About 50 to 100 meters from the stop line or the vehicle in front, press the clutch and use the brake to control the car's speed. Gradually bring the car to a slow stop based on the distance from the stop line or the vehicle ahead. If you notice the car is about to stop while still far away, gently release the brake slightly to allow the car to move forward slowly until the front edge of the car just covers the stop line or aligns with the lower edge of the front vehicle's tires. Then press the brake fully to bring the car to a complete stop.
