Using engine oil with better lubrication effects can indeed enhance the engine's performance. Here are some relevant details about engine oil: 1. Reduced Friction: This is because engine oil with good lubrication properties decreases the engine's internal friction, thereby reducing the engine's own resistance, which indirectly increases the engine's power. It can also lower engine noise, as part of the noise comes from vibrations caused by friction; reduced friction naturally leads to less noise. 2. Cleaning Effect: The additives in engine oil have a cleaning function, so after adding new oil and running the engine for a while, it dilutes and washes away the dirty oil from various friction components. The friction surfaces are then covered with new, clean oil, significantly improving lubrication and reducing movement friction resistance.

What is the range of BYD's pure electric vehicles?

Pure electric vehicle BYD Yuan EV has a range of up to 410 kilometers and supports fast charging in 0.5 hours. The BYD Yuan EV is also equipped with an intelligent temperature control system, which prevents increased charging time in winter and avoids damage caused by overheating during summer charging. Advantages of pure electric vehicles: 1. Low noise: Electric vehicles do not have the noise generated by internal combustion engines, and the noise from the motor is also much lower than that of internal combustion engines. 2. Pollution-free: Electric vehicles do not produce exhaust gases like internal combustion engine vehicles, resulting in no exhaust pollution. This is highly beneficial for environmental protection and air cleanliness, making them almost "zero pollution" vehicles.

What to Do When You Can't Feel the Car Body Tilting Inside the Vehicle?

Here are the methods to correct the car body: 1. Through the rearview mirrors: It is necessary to observe through the vehicle's rearview mirrors, comparing the road markings through the left and right rearview mirrors. 2. Using stationary reference points: Rely on the markings on the road rather than just feeling, as driving based on feeling alone is quite dangerous. The correct way to drive is to observe the position of the car body using reference points. Additional information: Rearview mirrors are tools that allow drivers, seated in the driver's position of a motor vehicle, to directly obtain external information about the rear, side, and lower parts of the car. They are designed for the convenience of the driver, to prevent driving accidents, and to ensure personal safety.

What Causes Low Tire Pressure?

Tire pressure may drop due to: damage to the car tire or slow air leakage caused by aging tires. Abnormal tire pressure can result from the following reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, the system will alert if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or exceeds 3.0 bar. In such cases, a tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring system not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset in time, it will continue to display the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to illuminate. Simply resetting the tire pressure will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it can trigger the tire pressure warning light. In case of sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.
