5w30 engine oil can be used all year round because it maintains strong viscosity under both low and high temperatures. The method for adding 5w30 engine oil is: 1. Remove the drain plug to drain the used oil; 2. Remove the oil filter; 3. Clean the filter base and replace the oil filter element; 4. Add 5w30 engine oil; 5. Check for any oil leakage. The functions of adding 5w30 engine oil are: 1. Alleviate engine friction and high temperatures; 2. Reduce gas leakage and prevent external pollutants; 3. Prevent contact between water, air, and harmful acidic gases with engine components; 4. Buffer the pressure at the engine cylinder port; 5. Clean dirt from the surface of components.

What are the S and L gears in the CRV?

S stands for Sport mode, and L stands for Low gear. Below are the relevant introductions to S and L gears: 1. Function of S gear: S gear is the sport mode of the car ("S" is short for "Sport"). In S gear mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, forcing the engine to maintain high RPM for a longer time, allowing the car to move at low gear and high RPM for an extended period, thereby achieving greater torque output and acceleration. 2. Function of L gear: L gear is the low gear. Transmissions with L gear usually have L1, L2, and L3 gears. In this mode, the transmission restricts the gear to the lower range of 1-3 gears, providing better traction. It is commonly used when climbing steep slopes, as lower transmission gears provide greater traction. It can also be said that L gear is a limiting gear, restricting the transmission gear to a specific range.

Why is the Passat Business Edition not sold to individuals?

The reason why the Passat Business Edition is not sold to individuals is that the low-configuration Business Edition is generally not stocked by 4S stores, as this model is not intended for ordinary consumers. Normally, ordinary consumers would not purchase this version. Only some enterprises or government entities, as large clients, would make bulk purchases, with the manufacturer directly dealing with these enterprises. Here is some related information about the Volkswagen Passat: 1. Origin: The Passat is the name of this Volkswagen B-segment car in the European market. In North America, the Passat was initially called Dasher (literally translated as 'tough guy,' meaning 'impact maker'). The second generation of the Passat was renamed Quantum/Santana. The subsequent third, fourth, and fifth generations continued to use the 'Passat' name, with only the suffix numbers adjusted to indicate their identity. 2. Vehicle Positioning: The Passat is a B-segment sedan launched by SAIC Volkswagen, positioned for more diverse usage scenarios, catering to both business and personal life.

Why Does the Roewe i6 Consume Too Much Fuel?

Roewe i6 consumes more fuel due to personal driving habits, as it is actually a low fuel consumption car. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance may lead to increased fan speed and lower temperatures to achieve a cooling effect. 2. Frequent sudden braking: Frequent sudden braking is the main reason for persistently high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Avoid excessive use of air conditioning in small-displacement cars: For vehicles exposed to the sun, it is not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately after entering the car. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher speed without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside. Wait until the car has moderately cooled down before turning on the air conditioning.

How to Repair a Flooded Vehicle?

Vehicle flooding can be categorized into the following scenarios: 1. Water immersion: If the vehicle was merely submerged and later towed to a repair shop (without the engine being started), this generally does not cause irreversible damage to the engine. The primary task is to remove the accumulated water inside the engine, but the extent of cleaning depends on the situation. More often, the intake pipe and intake manifold are removed, and compressed air is used to dry out the water inside. This scenario typically leaves no lasting issues. 2. Small amount of water entering the cylinders: In many cases, the owner may not realize that water has entered the engine, and the amount is just enough to allow the engine to start. If the owner chooses to continue driving under these circumstances, the ultimate consequence could be the piston seizing in the cylinder, with the connecting rod bending or breaking due to the immense pressure. A more severe outcome is the broken connecting rod piercing the engine block. At this point, the engine may require a major overhaul or even be deemed irreparable, potentially leaving behind issues such as shaking, reduced power, and recurring faults. 3. Large amount of water entering the engine cylinders: While this may seem the most severe—since the common belief is that more water causes greater damage—in reality, when the cylinders are filled with a significant amount of water, the engine crankshaft cannot rotate. Due to water's incompressibility, the piston has almost no room to move upward. In this case, even if the ignition is turned on, the starter cannot rotate, meaning no additional damage is inflicted on the engine. However, the engine will likely still require a major overhaul.

What does the d/m gear mean?

d/m gear means: 1. D gear: D gear is the forward gear. In D gear, the transmission will operate between 1st and overdrive gear (equivalent to 1st to 4th gear). The transmission will switch between 1st and 4th gear based on speed and throttle conditions, which is the normal driving gear. The letter D stands for drive, used for general road driving. In D gear, the speed can be controlled simply by adjusting the throttle and brake. 2. M gear: M gear refers to a gear on the full manual function dial of a camera. Generally, digital cameras refer to P, A, and S as partial manual functions, while M is called the full manual function. M gear can also refer to a gear on cars with a manual-automatic transmission. This means it can shift automatically or manually, by moving the gear lever to the middle of the M+ and M- symbols.
