You can change the engine oil by yourself, but it is recommended to go to a 4S shop for the first maintenance if it's a new car. Here is the relevant introduction about engine oil: 1. Four-stroke engine oil: The viscosity grade classification of four-stroke engine oil applies to the classification of the Society of Automotive Engineers, namely the SAE classification. The winter oil grades of SAE lubricating oil viscosity classification are: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W. The symbol W represents winter, and the smaller the number before W, the lower the low-temperature viscosity, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the applicable minimum temperature. 2. Two-stroke engine oil: The viscosity grade classification of two-stroke engine oil applies to the classification of the Society of Automotive Engineers, namely the SAE classification. Two-stroke gasoline engine oil has two viscosity grades, namely SAE20 and SAE30. Generally, SAE30 is selected. If it is separate lubrication, used in cold areas, or for ultra-light load two-stroke engines, SAE20 is used.

Should the BMW X3 use 5W30 or 0W40?

BMW X3 requires engine oil with a viscosity of 5W30. The entire BMW X3 series is equipped with BMW's B48-coded 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which offers excellent performance and efficiency. This engine is produced on BMW's modular platform. Turbocharged engines have high demands for engine oil because they operate at higher temperatures and under greater pressure, necessitating the use of superior quality oil. The original BMW engine oil recommended for turbocharged engines is of 5W30 viscosity, hence it is advisable to use 5W30 viscosity oil. The BMW X3 can accommodate five people, along with a substantial amount of luggage or sports equipment. Its adjustable interior space overcomes the limitations of other vehicles, providing owners with more options.

Why can't the Wuling Hongguang start or ignite?

The reasons why the Wuling Hongguang can't start or ignite are: 1. The car battery is low on power; 2. The low temperature reduces the viscosity and speed of the car engine oil; 3. There is a problem with the ignition system; 4. Insufficient fuel in the car; 5. Excessive carbon deposits inside the vehicle's engine; 6. The fuel pump is damaged, preventing the fuel in the fuel tank from being supplied for combustion. Taking the 2020 Wuling Hongguang as an example, it is a microvan with body dimensions of: length 4390mm, width 1660mm, height 1750mm, a wheelbase of 2720mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and a curb weight of 1185kg.

How to Turn Off the Reversing Camera on BMW X3?

BMW X3's reversing camera cannot be turned off; it automatically activates when the gear is shifted into reverse (R) position. The vehicle's reversing camera system utilizes a wide-angle far-infrared camera installed at the rear, displaying a clear view of obstacles behind the car on the in-dash screen. Some BMW X3 models are equipped with a 360-degree panoramic reversing camera, which provides the driver with a fused, ultra-wide-angle real-time view of the vehicle's surroundings on the display screen, enabling more intuitive and safer parking. The BMW X3's large bumper gives it a robust SUV-like appearance, though it differs significantly from off-road vehicles. The X3's superior performance is more prominently showcased on paved roads.

What is the approximate fuel consumption of the Civic 1.8L engine?

The approximate fuel consumption of the Civic 1.8L engine is 6.6-6.8L/100km. The vehicle's fuel consumption mainly depends on driving habits and road conditions. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Warm up the engine: Preheat the car before driving, and only start driving when the water temperature reaches 50 degrees. 2. During the break-in period: Do not drive at high speeds, try not to exceed 70 km/h, and keep the RPM below 2000. 3. Fully break in all gears: Make sure to use all gear positions. 4. Use a break-in additive: This helps improve the efficiency of the lubricating oil.
