Engine oil 5W30 can be used in summer. Here is the relevant introduction about engine oil: 1. The engine oil grade usually indicates viscosity and quality. 2. The viscosity of lubricating oil is mostly identified by SAE grade, and SAE is the abbreviation of "Society of Automotive Engineers" in English. 3. W stands for winter, and the smaller the number in front of it, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the engine oil, representing the lower ambient temperature available and the better protection ability for the engine during cold starts. 3. The number after "W" (after a horizontal line) is an indicator of the oil's high-temperature resistance. The larger the number, the better the protection performance of the oil at high temperatures. 4. The grade after the oil classification indicates its viscosity specification. For example, in "15W-40, 5W-40", "W" stands for Winter, and the smaller the number in front of it, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the engine oil, representing the lower ambient temperature available and the better protection ability for the engine during cold starts. For example, 5W represents resistance to external low temperatures of -30°C, while 20W is resistant to low temperatures of -15°C.

What Causes Water Ingress in the Roewe RX5 Hybrid Engine?

Roewe RX5 engine water ingress can be categorized into two types. The most common is engine flooding, which requires promptly calling a tow truck to send the vehicle to a repair shop. The other type is caused by damage to individual components. If not addressed in time, it can easily lead to faults such as cylinder scoring or bearing seizure, and in severe cases, the engine may even be rendered completely unusable. Below is additional information: The sealing ring at the lower part of the cylinder liner is designed to prevent the leakage of engine oil and coolant. However, after prolonged exposure to certain pressures, aging of the sealing ring is inevitable. If the coolant is of poor quality, it may also have a corrosive effect, leading to leakage into the engine oil.

What to Do When the Rena Water Temperature Light Comes On?

Here are the solutions for when the Rena water temperature warning light comes on: 1. Insufficient coolant in the cooling system causing the engine to overheat. Stop the vehicle, wait for the engine to cool down, and then add coolant. 2. A loose or broken water pump or fan belt leading to engine overheating. Visit a repair shop to replace the relevant parts. 3. Poor heat dissipation due to clogged radiator grille or radiator core ventilation ducts with debris, resulting in engine overheating. Replace the radiator cover or clean out the debris. 4. Engine overheating caused by insufficient engine oil or substandard oil quality. Simply replace with high-quality engine oil.

How to Remove a Car Tire?

Method for removing a car tire: First, use a socket wrench to turn the bolts clockwise, then use a jack to partially lift the vehicle. After the jack is in place, loosen and remove the bolts one by one, and then the entire tire can be taken off. When loosening the wheel bolts, pay attention to the direction of force—counterclockwise loosens them, while clockwise tightens them. When using the jack, note that there are several slots on both sides of the car's undercarriage for placing the jack. Always ensure the jack is positioned within these slots to prevent accidents. Before installing the spare tire, it is recommended to place the removed tire under the car to prevent the jack from shifting and causing the vehicle to rest on three wheels.

Why Can't the Car Steering Wheel Turn?

Reasons why the car steering wheel can't turn: 1. When starting the vehicle, the steering wheel can't turn: This is usually because the steering wheel lock function is triggered. The solution is to turn the steering wheel while turning the car key to start the engine. 2. Check if the power steering fluid is low. If it is, simply replenish the power steering fluid. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a frame, foam, and corresponding mounting clips or screw holes for the driver's airbag (DAB).

Is the highway free for several days during the Mid-Autumn Festival?

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the highway is not free unless it coincides with the National Day holiday. Otherwise, there is no free passage. Additional information: Affected by the macro economy, although only small passenger vehicles with fewer than 7 seats are free during major holidays, due to the sluggish manufacturing economy, the demand for freight transportation in some regions has declined significantly, and the income during the free period will decrease year-on-year. During the 2021 New Year's Day and Dragon Boat Festival, the highway was not free. Only four holidays—Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, May Day, and National Day (including Mid-Autumn Festival)—are free on the highway, totaling 22 free days.
