Motor oils of the same grade can be mixed, but it is not recommended for long-term use. Increased fuel consumption: When adding oil to the engine, the oil level should be between the upper and lower limits on the dipstick. If too much oil is added, the engine's temperature will rise, causing the oil to expand. This increases the pressure in the oil chamber, raises operating resistance, reduces the car's power output, and increases fuel consumption. Overfilling oil: If too much oil is added, the crankcase breather pipe may leak oil, increasing the pressure in the crankcase. This can cause the oil seal to loosen under pressure, leading to oil leaks. Function of motor oil: Motor oil is the lubricant for engine operation. It lubricates, cleans, cools, seals, and reduces friction in the engine.

Spark plugs are a crucial component of the gasoline engine's ignition system, as they introduce high-voltage electricity into the combustion chamber and create a spark by jumping the electrode gap, thereby igniting the combustible air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. The Skoda Octavia is the first sedan under the SAIC Volkswagen Skoda brand.

What is the method for adding refrigerant to a car air conditioner?

There are two methods for adding refrigerant to a car air conditioner: the high-pressure side charging method and the low-pressure side charging method. The following are the relevant details: Situations where a car air conditioner requires refrigerant addition include: 1. Temperature cannot drop below 16°C: If the air outlet temperature of the indoor air conditioner cannot reach below 16°C, refrigerant needs to be added. 2. Temperature can drop below 16°C: If the air outlet temperature can reach below 16°C, but it takes a long time, such as more than 5-6 minutes, refrigerant also needs to be added. Precautions: 1. High-pressure side charging: Suitable for charging after leak detection and vacuuming. Note that this method requires the compressor to be turned off, the engine to be stopped, and the refrigerant tank to be inverted. 2. Low-pressure side charging: This method involves adding gas, characterized by slow charging speed, and is usually suitable for supplementing refrigerant.
