The first maintenance of a new car can be done at any 4S store. All 4S stores nationwide are interconnected, and the car manufacturer will recognize the validity of the first maintenance regardless of which store performs it. Below is a detailed introduction about the first maintenance of a new car: 1. Time: Since the engine, transmission, and other components of a new car are brand new, to maintain the service life of these parts, it is stipulated that the first maintenance should be done either 3 months after purchasing the new car or when the mileage reaches 5,000 kilometers. 2. Main content: Replace the engine oil and oil filter. Car manufacturers usually add a certain amount of friction modifiers to the engine oil installed in the car to facilitate the smooth running-in of various engine components. Whether the oil is replaced earlier or later than recommended, it is not conducive to the normal running-in of the engine. Therefore, all vehicle brands specify the time for the first maintenance.

Can Temporary License Plates Be Issued on Saturdays and Sundays?

For the Geely Xingyue models equipped with the JLH-4G20TDB turbocharged engine, it is recommended to use 95-octane gasoline; for models with the JLH-3G15TD engine, 92-octane gasoline is recommended, as specified in the vehicle's official user manual. In addition to checking the suitable gasoline grade in the user manual, Geely Xingyue owners can also find this information on the fuel tank cap, where the recommended gasoline grade is usually indicated. Generally, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. If the compression ratio is even higher, 98-octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the appropriate gasoline grade, as high-compression engines can sometimes be tuned to use lower-octane gasoline. This is because other factors, such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology, also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If a Geely Xingyue owner occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switching back to the correct grade after the tank is empty is sufficient. However, prolonged use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower-octane gasoline, using a higher-octane grade will not cause damage, but the increased octane number can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher-octane gasoline, using a lower-octane grade can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane number lowers the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, it creates resistance during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unevenly. If the knocking is mild, it may only increase noise without noticeable engine damage. However, severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring.

Can motorcycle oil be replaced with car oil?

Motorcycle oil cannot be replaced with car oil; specialized motorcycle oil must be used. The working characteristics of motorcycle engines differ from those of car engines. Motorcycle engines operate at higher RPMs with faster acceleration, and car oil cannot meet the lubrication requirements of motorcycle engines. Engine oil is something every vehicle owner deals with, often referred to as the 'blood of the engine.' Without oil, an engine cannot function. Inside the engine, oil not only lubricates but also cleans, seals, cushions, prevents rust, and dissipates heat. When the engine is running, the oil forms a protective film on the surfaces of various components, preventing direct contact and friction between them.

What Causes Engine Stall During U-Turns?

Engine stall during U-turns can be attributed to several reasons: 1. Throttle: Sticking or deformation due to external forces may cause stalling. 2. Motor: Open circuits, short circuits, or erosion/aging can lead to low-speed stalling. 3. Fuel system: Insufficient fuel pressure or fuel pump malfunction may result in stalling. 4. Fuel injector: Clogged injectors causing poor fuel atomization can make the engine operate abnormally and potentially stall. 5. Igniter erosion: With ignition voltage reaching tens of thousands of volts, accumulated oil at the ignition coil terminal may cause erosion, leading to abnormal ignition and easy stalling.

How often should the engine oil of a sedan be changed?

The engine oil of a sedan is generally changed every 6 months or 8,000 kilometers. However, the specific interval depends on driving conditions, driving habits, and the type of oil used. It is recommended that car owners regularly change the engine oil during normal use to reduce engine wear and prolong the engine's lifespan. Engine oil is often referred to as the 'blood' of the engine, as the engine cannot function properly without it. Inside the engine, oil not only lubricates but also cleans, seals, buffers, prevents rust, and dissipates heat. Over time, the performance of engine oil degrades, so it needs to be changed regularly. Failure to change the oil for extended periods can accelerate engine wear.

What Are the Reasons for Severe Engine Vibration in Cars?

Severe engine vibration in cars can be caused by: 1. Engine misfire; 2. Worn or loose engine mounts; 3. Carbon buildup; 4. Fuel system malfunction. It is recommended to visit a 4S dealership for inspection and repair as soon as possible. Taking worn or loose engine mounts as an example, engine mounts are rubber blocks placed between the engine and the car frame. Their function is to reduce vibration and absorb shocks during engine operation, thereby securing the engine in place. An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, invented in the UK. It can refer to both the power generation device and the entire machine including the power unit (such as gasoline engines, aircraft engines).
