Mazda CX4 can use 5w30 engine oil, but it is recommended to use 0w20 engine oil. Here is more information about engine oil: 1. Functions of engine oil: Engine oil can lubricate and reduce wear, assist in cooling, seal and prevent leakage, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of base oil, giving it certain new properties, making it an important part of lubricating oil.

What is the model of a car's spark plug?

There are several main types of automotive spark plugs: standard spark plugs, extended tip spark plugs, electrode spark plugs, seat spark plugs, pole spark plugs, and surface gap spark plugs. If a spark plug is damaged, it can directly cause issues such as leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, reduced power, and most importantly, difficulty in starting, which affects the normal use of the vehicle. Severe spark plug erosion, blistering at the top of the spark plug, damage, or melted and eroded electrodes all indicate that the spark plug has been damaged and should be replaced. Spark plug location: Spark plugs are installed on the side or top of the engine. Early spark plugs were connected to the distributor via ignition cables, but over the past decade, most car engines have been modified to connect the ignition coil directly to the spark plug. Spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine, so it is recommended to follow the user manual. Generally, platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

Can motorcycle engine oil still be used after more than 4 years?

Motorcycle engine oil cannot be used after more than 4 years and needs to be replaced with new oil. Motorcycle oil change intervals: For new motorcycles, the first oil change is generally around 300 kilometers, the second around 500 kilometers, and the third around 800 kilometers. After the break-in period, oil changes can typically be done every 2,000-3,000 kilometers. Consequences of not changing the oil: If the oil is not changed for a long time, once it deteriorates and loses its performance, it will cause the lubrication properties of the bearings and the lubrication and cooling functions of mechanical transmission components to disappear, thereby damaging the engine, with effects similar to those of oil deficiency.

Why is the High-Pressure Pipe of the Car Air Conditioning Not Hot?

Reasons why the high-pressure pipe of the car air conditioning is not hot: 1. Insufficient refrigerant in the air conditioning system; 2. Excessive opening of the expansion valve; 3. The compressor is not working or has malfunctioned. The car air conditioning system mainly consists of the compressor, expansion valve, high-pressure pipeline, low-pressure pipeline, evaporator, evaporator temperature sensor, and refrigerant. Working principle of the car air conditioning: Press the AC switch, turn on the fan switch, and the air conditioning enters the working state. First, the compressor compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid, which then dissipates heat through the air conditioning radiator to become a medium-temperature and low-pressure liquid. After being throttled by the expansion valve, it turns into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas.

What Causes Low High Pressure in Car Air Conditioning?

Car air conditioning low high pressure is caused by: 1. System issues: refrigerant leakage, blockage, dirty heat exchangers; 2. Electrical issues: abnormal operation of compressor, solenoid valve, four-way valve, or motor. Under normal air conditioning operation, the low pressure should be around 3bar and high pressure around 15bar. Note this refers to normal operation when the cabin blower is set to the fourth speed, radiator cooling fan runs at high speed, and external condenser has good heat dissipation. The car air conditioning system is designed to cool, heat, ventilate and purify cabin air, providing passengers with a comfortable environment, reducing driver fatigue and improving driving safety.

Where is the motorcycle oil tank located?

For cross-mounted motorcycles, the oil tank is located in front of the rider's seat, while for step-through and scooter models, the oil tank is situated beneath the seat. Method to open the oil tank: The oil tank switch is typically located on the left side of the vehicle. Below the oil tank, there is a white-framed switch. Pushing it upwards opens the auxiliary tank, setting it to the middle position closes it, and pushing it downwards opens the main tank. The main and auxiliary tanks are actually the same tank; the auxiliary tank serves as a reminder. After refueling the auxiliary tank, it's best to close it. Oil tank: It can be divided into two types: open and closed. The oil tank must have sufficient capacity. To maintain oil cleanliness, the tank should have a sealed cover equipped with an air filter. The bottom of the tank should be at least 150mm above the ground, and special attention should be paid to the anti-corrosion treatment of the tank's inner surface.

What Causes Reduced Airflow in Car Air Conditioning?

Reasons for reduced airflow in car air conditioning: 1. Excessive accumulation of impurities and dust on the condenser, leading to poor cooling performance; 2. Too many impurities in the air filter, affecting the blower's air intake and reducing airflow; 3. Excessive impurities on the evaporator, significantly impacting both the air intake and cooling performance of the air conditioning system, severely compromising its cooling effect; 4. Frost formation on the evaporator surface, which severely obstructs air conditioning ventilation. Car air conditioning refers to the air conditioning system installed in vehicles, capable of cooling, heating, ventilating, and purifying the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and enhancing driving safety.
