You can change the oil for Vios by yourself, but you must select the oil according to the requirements in the "User Manual". Precautions for changing the oil are as follows: Preheat the engine before draining the oil: Before draining the old oil, the engine must reach a certain operating temperature. At this time, the oil is thinner and flows more easily, which helps carry away impurities and ensures thorough drainage. Remember not to drain the oil when the engine is cold. Replace the oil filter simultaneously: When changing the oil, you must replace the oil filter. The old oil filter may be clogged with impurities, and a clogged filter will slow down oil flow and reduce engine lubrication. Residual old oil in the filter can also degrade the quality of the new oil. Additionally, if the air filter has reuse value, clean it with high-pressure air; replace it if it is too dirty.

What is the difference between a motor and an engine?

The differences between a motor and an engine are: 1. Different performance: A motor is an electrical device; an engine is an internal combustion engine. 2. Different working principles: A motor operates using electromagnetic principles and can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy to output speed and torque; an engine uses high-pressure gas generated by fuel combustion to push pistons and perform external work, constituting a complete power output system. A motor can also be called a starter, where electrified coils rotate under magnetic force, driving the starter rotor to spin. Motors are mainly categorized into hydraulic motors, high-speed motors, and vane motors. High-speed motors are compact, lightweight, and simple in structure, and are less sensitive to oil contamination, but they have low efficiency and poor low-speed stability. The engine is the core component of a vehicle, providing the power needed for its operation by converting the thermal energy released from fuel combustion into kinetic energy to propel the car.
