A sedan can be used for a self-drive trip to Western Sichuan. For a 1.4L displacement car, it is possible to drive to the small loop of Western Sichuan. However, on uphill sections with altitudes above 3,000 meters or even above 4,000 meters, the speed will be very slow. Here are some precautions for self-driving trips: Maintain a good driving condition: Long-distance drivers must maintain good physical and mental condition. Ensure sufficient sleep before driving. Wear seat belts: Not only the driver and front-seat passengers but also rear-seat passengers need to fasten their seat belts. If there are children under twelve years old in the family, it is recommended to purchase child safety seats from reputable manufacturers. Driving in rain or snow: Turn on the fog lights and width lights. Drive slowly, avoid overtaking casually in severe weather, gently press the accelerator and brakes, and steer slowly. When overtaking, use the horn and headlights to signal, and only overtake when the vehicle ahead gives way. Be extra cautious and reduce speed in dark and damp areas prone to icing, such as under overpasses and at tunnel entrances.

How to Test the Quality of Gasoline?

Methods to test the quality of gasoline are: 1. Observe the color of gasoline: Normally, gasoline should be water-white in color. If the color darkens, it may indicate that the gasoline has been stored for too long; 2. Usage observation: Check if fuel consumption has increased and inspect the exhaust pipe for sticky substances, as their presence suggests poor-quality gasoline; 3. Smell test: Gently waft the gasoline's odor. If there is a pungent smell, such as spiciness, eye irritation, or unusual odors, it means the gasoline contains excessive sulfur and likely other impurities; 4. Touch test: Rub a small amount of gasoline between your fingers. If the greasy sensation is strong, similar to engine oil, it indicates the gasoline quality is not good.

Does the EA211 Engine Burn Oil?

ea211 engine burns oil. The specific reasons for engine oil burning are as follows: Low oil quality or incorrect viscosity grade: Low-quality oil can lead to accelerated wear. Oil viscosity that is too low or too high can cause poor engine lubrication, increasing wear on piston rings and cylinder walls, reducing sealing performance, and leading to oil burning. Overfilling of oil: When the oil level exceeds the midpoint, due to high oil pressure, parts lubricated by splash lubrication during engine operation can enter the combustion chamber and burn excessively. Turbocharger oil leakage: The turbocharger's turbine shaft has lubricated floating bearings. Leakage in the pipelines or bearings can cause oil to seep from the turbocharger into the exhaust pipe. When the exhaust pipe temperature is high, the oil is baked and emitted as blue smoke.
