The original 195 tires can be replaced with 185 tires. Points to note: When changing tires, as long as the upgraded tire diameter does not exceed 3% of the original, it is acceptable. However, it should be noted that after increasing the tire width, the outer diameter of the tire should be kept as close as possible to the original specifications. For example, if you want to change a 185/60/15 tire to a 195 width, you can replace it with a 195/55/15. Pros and cons of wider tires: Additionally, the advantage of wider tires is that they provide better stability for the car at high speeds, while a lower aspect ratio gives the driver better handling and a more comfortable road feel. However, with the increase in tire width, the car's fuel consumption will also increase to some extent. Generally, it is not recommended to change the tire size beyond the original factory specifications, as any changes in tread width, aspect ratio, or diameter can cause errors in the tire's ESP, odometer, and speedometer, potentially threatening driving safety.

What Causes the Clutch Pedal to Be Too High?

Clutch pedal being too high is caused by insufficient clutch free play. Here is the relevant information: 1. Effects of a high clutch pedal: The foot needs to lift higher, causing discomfort. The clutch has more dead travel, making the starting response slightly sluggish. When the pedal is high, pressing it all the way down results in the clutch being completely disengaged, so even when releasing the pedal significantly during starting, the clutch may not engage. It often requires releasing almost completely before engagement occurs, which is not conducive to smooth starting. 2. Effects of a low clutch pedal: If the pedal is too low, the effective travel becomes too short, potentially causing the clutch to not fully disengage even when the pedal is fully depressed. The specific manifestation is difficulty in shifting gears even with the clutch fully pressed. In some cases, the vehicle may still move slightly even with the clutch fully depressed. Starting becomes more sensitive because the effective pedal travel is short, and the clutch disengagement is minimal. Slightly releasing the pedal causes the clutch to engage, making the starting response overly sensitive.

Should the Highlander use 5w30 or 0w20 engine oil?

The Highlander is better suited for 0w20 engine oil. The differences between 5w30 and 0w20 engine oil are as follows: 1. Operating temperature varies: 0W20 engine oil has a minimum operating temperature of -35°C, indicating its freezing point is -35°C, while 5W30 engine oil has a minimum operating temperature of -30°C. Except for the extreme northeast of China, 5W oil is suitable for all regions, so car owners need not worry about the freezing point of the oil. The viscosity coefficient of 0W20 oil is slightly lower than that of 0W30 oil, meaning the internal resistance during engine operation is reduced, resulting in relatively lower fuel consumption. 2. Lubrication performance differs: Generally, new cars can use 5W30 oil, which is the choice for most car owners today. 0W20 oil is more expensive but offers better lubrication. It adheres well to component surfaces, forming a stable lubricating oil film easily, preventing abnormal wear on engine parts. This oil is highly stable, allowing car owners to drive over 12,000 km before maintenance. In contrast, 5W30 oil is relatively inferior, with higher viscosity, adhering to component surfaces, and is commonly used in regular household vehicles.
