The Mistra is not recommended to use 0w20 engine oil. The recommended engine oil specification for the Hyundai Mistra is 5w30, with a replacement capacity of 5L. It uses fully synthetic oil and has a replacement interval of 5,000 kilometers. Naturally aspirated engines have lower requirements for oil performance, so mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil can be used. If the consumer's budget allows, fully synthetic oil can be used. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of the car. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties. Additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.

What are the reasons for the ETC lane always failing to detect?

The reasons for the ETC lane always failing to detect: 1. Driving too fast through the ETC lane: To ensure successful recognition, it is recommended to keep the speed below 20 km/h; otherwise, the vehicle information may not be detected. 2. The ETC tag has expired: In this case, the ETC display will usually show 'No OBU' or 'Electronic Tag Invalid.' This happens because the ETC device may have become loose, fallen off, or been tampered with, causing the anti-tamper switch to activate and reset all data. 3. The ETC device is out of power: There is no exact rule for how often an ETC device should be recharged. For solar-powered ETC devices, even if not used frequently, it is advisable to recharge them every 3 months to avoid reduced lifespan due to battery self-discharge.

What is the engine lifespan of the Geely Binyue?

Geely Binyue offers a whole vehicle warranty of 4 years or 100,000 kilometers. Additionally, Geely Auto has introduced an engine warranty policy covering 300,000 kilometers or 8 years. Below is an introduction to the Geely Binyue engine: The Geely Binyue 1.0T engine is a three-cylinder unit, yet it delivers robust power, with a driving experience not far off from a four-cylinder car. It boasts strong responsiveness and excellent acceleration, with mid-range power delivery that outperforms typical 2.0L naturally aspirated engines. Developed under Geely's iNTEC technology brand, this engine is independently researched and produced by Geely. It incorporates advanced technologies such as top-mounted direct fuel injection, steel crankshaft, dual VVT (variable valve timing) for both intake and exhaust, integrated exhaust manifold, dual-mass flywheel, variable displacement oil pump, and a split cooling system, ensuring high fuel efficiency. The primary issue with three-cylinder engines is vibration, as they cannot match the smoothness of four-cylinder engines. Particularly at idle, noticeable vibrations are present, which is an inherent drawback of three-cylinder designs.

What to Do If There's Too Much Engine Oil?

If the oil level touches the crankshaft, it's best to extract some of it. The extracted clean oil can be saved for future use, which is the safest method. It is not recommended to remove the drain plug, as it's difficult to control the flow rate, and the drained oil cannot be reused. The hazards of overfilling engine oil include the following: 1. Increased engine operating resistance. If too much oil is added, the crankshaft may come into contact with the oil during operation, creating significant resistance at high engine speeds and affecting engine performance. 2. Increased likelihood of oil burning. If excess oil causes the crankshaft to touch the oil, it can easily lead to oil burning. The high-speed churning of oil by the crankshaft generates numerous oil droplets, which can be easily sucked into the cylinders by the crankcase ventilation system, resulting in oil burning. 3. Carbon buildup and contamination of the catalytic converter. Oil burning can lead to carbon deposits, and some additives in the oil, when burned, can enter the catalytic converter, reducing its conversion efficiency.

How to Turn on the Cold Air in GAC Trumpchi GS4?

First press the AUTO button to turn on the air conditioning, then press the A/C button to activate the cold air, and finally adjust the temperature using the knob. Below is an introduction to the GAC Trumpchi GS4: 1. The new model features significantly richer lines compared to the older version, giving it a stronger sense of power and layering. Additionally, some configurations have been upgraded. The new front bumper enhances the overall dynamic and harmonious appearance. The daytime running lights and front fog lights adopt a separated design, with the L-shaped styling being quite distinctive. 2. The side profile of the car also incorporates a hidden D-pillar design. The tires are from Michelin, and the wheel rims feature a wide-spoke, thin-spoke combination style, paired with a mix of aluminum alloy and blackened components, exuding a strong sense of power. 3. The rear of the car has seen fewer changes, maintaining a full and rounded look. The most striking design element is the convex and concave creases on the trunk lid, which add a spirited touch. The new rear light clusters use LED as the light source, and the light strips have been redesigned for high visibility at night. The rear fog lights, like the front daytime running lights, adopt an L-shaped design.

How Far Can a Car Run on Reserve Fuel?

Generally, it can run for 50-70 kilometers. Here are the relevant details: 1. Depending on individual driving habits, fuel-saving techniques, road conditions, and other factors, each car has its own reserve fuel capacity, and the distance it can cover varies. It is recommended not to wait until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling; it's best to fill up before the light appears. 2. The fuel container on an aircraft or in a car is a specialized vessel in the hydraulic system for storing hydraulic oil or fluid. 3. Fuel tanks can be divided into two types: open tanks and closed tanks. A fuel tank must have sufficient volume; the suction pipe and return pipe should be inserted below the minimum liquid level to prevent air suction and splashing of returning oil, which can create bubbles. The distance between the suction pipe and return pipe should be as far apart as possible, with a partition installed between them. To maintain oil cleanliness, the tank should have a sealed cover with an air filter. The bottom of the tank should be at least 150mm above the ground. Special attention should be paid to the anti-corrosion treatment of the tank's inner surface. 4. In addition to storing oil, the fuel tank in a hydraulic system also plays roles in heat dissipation, separating bubbles from the oil, and settling impurities. Many auxiliary components are installed in the tank, such as coolers, heaters, air filters, and liquid level gauges.
