Car with oil burning can still be driven. If the amount of oil burned is within the normal range, it will not affect usage. However, if the amount of oil burned significantly exceeds the normal range, it is recommended that the owner repair it immediately. All car engines have a certain amount of oil consumption. After adding oil to the engine, it will decrease slightly. When the engine is running, the temperature increases, causing some of the oil in the oil pan to evaporate, leading to a reduction in oil. Engine oil is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, mainly containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines, and its main functions are to reduce friction and wear of moving parts and to remove sludge and varnish from the engine.

What is the oil specification for Toyota Corolla?

The suitable oil specification for Corolla is 5W20, while older Corolla models can opt for 5W30 oil which has one grade higher viscosity than 5W20, providing better engine protection. For post-maintenance oil changes, brands like Mobil, Shell, Castrol, and Total can be considered. Oil viscosity changes with temperature variations, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. Taking 5W-30 as an example, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity - 5W means it can withstand -30°C, with smaller numbers representing better cold-flow properties for smoother cold starts. The latter number represents kinematic viscosity at 100°C, where higher values indicate better viscosity retention and lubrication performance under high temperatures. The oil change procedure for Corolla is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing oil to fully drain back to the oil pan; Loosen the drain plug with a wrench and collect old oil in a container until completely drained. Start the engine for 30 seconds to flush remaining oil from main galleries; Remove the oil filter using a special wrench; Apply oil to the new filter's gasket and hand-tighten it clockwise; Add new oil through the valve cover filler port, typically filling three-quarters of a standard oil container; Run the engine for 5 minutes and check for leaks around the drain plug and filter; After stopping the engine, use the dipstick to verify oil level falls within standard range.

What are the common faults of FAW-Volkswagen?

Detailed introduction is as follows: 1. Engine light on, lack of power at high speed: The computer reads fault code 00665 in the engine system - boost pressure control not reaching the control limit (static). Entering engine data stream 01-08-115 to read boost measurement values shows no abnormality. In this case, focus should be on checking the vacuum control device of solenoid valve N75, as blockage in the vacuum pipeline at the low-pressure end leads to poor high-speed regulation and lack of power. 2. Air conditioning not cooling: Check shows normal refrigerant level with no system fault codes. Reading air conditioning data stream group 1 zone 1 displays code: 8, indicating ambient temperature too low. Data stream group 4 zone 2 shows 0 degrees, which sufficiently explains that the air conditioning not working is mainly caused by the system detecting ambient temperature too low (below 3 degrees). In this case, first disconnect the battery terminal for 30 seconds to reset the system. If not restored, then check the sensor and related circuits. 3. Sagitar 1.6 engine light alarm: Computer detection shows fault code 16795 - secondary air injection system not detecting correct air flow (intermittent). Checking other major data reveals no abnormalities. Conducting self-diagnosis test on the secondary air pump shows normal operation. This situation is mostly caused by blockage in the mechanical combination valve (common issue).

How often does the Wuling Zhiguang require an annual inspection?

The Wuling Zhiguang requires an annual inspection once every year. Below is a relevant introduction to the Wuling Zhiguang: 1. Interior: It features a fashionable T-shaped design with technological elements, offering a novel and more elegant, simple, and aesthetically pleasing appearance. The dashboard provides a more spacious view and larger visual space. The center section includes additional silver-plated decorative pieces and storage compartments, and the radio has been upgraded from the original cassette player to a USB-equipped radio with a data cable, making the use of various materials more harmonious. The air conditioning vents are more reasonably positioned. 2. Comfort improvements: Taking the angle between the legs and the ground and the foot's control angle over the pedals as examples, the angle of the accelerator pedal is designed within a comfortable range, which helps relax foot tension and avoid ankle soreness during long drives.
