The first maintenance for the 14th-generation Sylphy should be performed at 1000 kilometers or one month, whichever comes first. The first 1000 kilometers are considered the vehicle's break-in period, and the following precautions should be taken during this period: 1. During cold starts, it is best to wait until the engine coolant temperature reaches at least 40°C before driving. 2. When starting, gently press and slowly release the clutch and accelerator pedal, and choose a good road surface for driving. 3. Avoid revving the engine when parking. 4. Control the driving speed and avoid excessive speed; it is recommended to keep the speed between 50~80 km/h. 5. After driving over 1500 kilometers, you can gradually increase the engine speed and vehicle speed to the maximum allowed by the vehicle, but avoid pressing the accelerator too hard to ensure that the pistons, cylinders, and other important components increase their load in a gentle manner. 6. Do not use a single gear for an extended period; start in a low gear and gradually shift to higher gears, driving in a progressive manner. Avoid the phenomena of low-gear high-speed or high-gear low-speed driving.

Will Changing to New Spark Plugs Save Fuel?

Replacing with spark plugs made of better materials and higher quality can reduce fuel consumption and enhance power output, thereby achieving fuel savings. Different types of spark plugs have varying replacement cycles. Below are the relevant details: Standard Spark Plugs: Lifespan is 20,000 kilometers. They can generally still be used beyond 20,000 kilometers, but it is recommended not to exceed 40,000 kilometers. Otherwise, ignition efficiency will decline, leading to reduced engine power. Single Platinum Spark Plugs: Lifespan is 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers and requires regular replacement. Iridium Spark Plugs: Lifespan is 50,000 kilometers. When performance declines, it causes changes in ignition gap and reduced stability. Double Iridium Spark Plugs: Theoretically, lifespan exceeds 100,000 kilometers. They are currently the best-performing spark plugs, featuring rapid ignition, strong power, and a longer lifespan.

How often should the gear oil of the Xisha be changed?

The gear oil of the Xisha should be changed every three years or 60,000 kilometers. Gear oil replacement intervals: If synthetic oil is used, replacement is not required within 200,000 kilometers; if mineral oil is used, it should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Gear oil mainly refers to the lubricating oil for transmissions and rear axles, primarily serving to lubricate gears and bearings, prevent wear and corrosion, and assist in heat dissipation for the gears. Hazards of not changing transmission oil for a long time: It can cause abnormal wear and severe deterioration of the transmission oil; lead to aging and degradation of the transmission oil, increasing fuel consumption and shortening the transmission's lifespan; result in granulation of the transmission oil, clogging oil passages, damaging the valve body, and affecting system oil pressure and power transmission; cause delayed response and gear shifting impacts in the transmission.

What is the reason for the front of the car sweeping the line during a right-angle turn?

The distance between the car body and the right line is too short or the speed is too fast. The following is relevant extended information: 1. Right-angle turn evaluation criteria: Drive the vehicle along the specified route, make a right-angle turn from left to right or right to left, and pass through in one go; no stopping is allowed midway; the wheels must not touch or run over the lane boundary line. 2. Sweeping the line: According to the "Content and Methods of Motor Vehicle Driver Tests," the evaluation criteria for straight-line turns specify that the wheels must not run over or touch the road boundary line, but it does not state that the front of the car cannot sweep the line. In the turning evaluation criteria for Subject 2, there are only regulations about pressing or crossing the line, but no mention of sweeping the line. Therefore, sweeping the line with the front of the car is allowed during a right-angle turn, as long as the wheels do not run over the road edge line, no points will be deducted.

What does 20t on a car mean?

2.0T refers to the engine displacement. Introduction to car displacement: Introduction to car displacement: The space volume that the piston passes from the top dead center to the bottom dead center is called the cylinder displacement; if the engine has several cylinders, the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders is called the engine displacement. It is generally expressed in liters (L). Engine displacement is one of the most important structural parameters, which can represent the size of the engine better than the cylinder diameter and the number of cylinders. Many indicators of the engine are closely related to the displacement. Displacement classification: The classification of car levels in China is determined by the size of the displacement. The displacement of a mini car is less than or equal to 1.0L; the displacement of an ordinary car is in the range of 1.0-1.6L; the displacement of an intermediate car is in the range of 1.6-2.5L; the displacement of a mid-to-high-end car is in the range of 2.5-4.0L; the displacement of a high-end car is greater than 4.0L.

What does the SM in the motor oil grade table mean?

The SM in motor oil labeling refers to the grade of the motor oil. Additional information: 1. API (American Petroleum Institute) is the abbreviation for the American Petroleum Institute. The API grade represents the quality grade of engine oil. It uses simple codes to describe the working capability of engine oil. Motor oil grades are classified into SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, SM, and SN levels, with letters further in the alphabet indicating progressively higher grades. 2. The SN grade is currently the highest grade of motor oil. SJ was the standard in the 1990s, SL was the standard in 2001, SM was the standard in 2004, and SN became the standard in 2010. Therefore, SM is just one grade below SN, and the quality of SM-grade oil is still quite good. Among international brands, most motor oils are SF grade or higher. For example, Shell Helix Plus is API SM grade, while Shell Helix Red Motor Oil is API SG grade, indicating that Helix Plus has a higher quality grade than Helix Red. In the classification of motor oils, SN-grade oils are primarily full synthetic oils, while SM-grade oils are mainly semi-synthetic, with full synthetic oils being the highest grade.

Is it better to buy 500,000 or 1,000,000 for third-party liability insurance?

This depends on your financial situation. Of course, the more coverage, the better, if you can afford it. The higher the coverage, the higher the maximum compensation amount in case of an accident. The premium calculation for third-party liability insurance is based on a fixed rate derived from the rate table, multiplied by the insurance company's discount rate, resulting in the final premium amount. The premium for third-party liability insurance is 561 yuan higher for 1,000,000 coverage than for 500,000 coverage. If there is a discount, the amount decreases proportionally. Car third-party liability insurance: 100,000 coverage base premium: main insurance 962 yuan, non-deductible 144.3 yuan; 200,000 coverage base premium: main insurance 1191 yuan, non-deductible 178.64 yuan; 300,000 coverage base premium: main insurance 1346 yuan, non-deductible 201.9 yuan; 500,000 coverage base premium: main insurance 1615 yuan, non-deductible 242.25 yuan; 1,000,000 coverage base premium: main insurance 2103 yuan, non-deductible 315.44 yuan.
