Volkswagen Bora can use 5w30 engine oil because this type of oil has relatively low viscosity and good low-temperature fluidity, generally suitable for various weather conditions. Engine oil specifications: The number before 5w represents the low-temperature viscosity. The smaller the number, the lower the viscosity of the oil, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the applicable minimum temperature; 30 means it can be used in environments with temperatures below 30 degrees. Precautions: When selecting engine oil for Volkswagen Bora, it is necessary to strictly choose the same specification oil according to the prescribed oil grade. If the same grade is not available, only a higher-grade oil can be used, and lower-grade oil should not be used as a substitute; if the engine is in good condition and the seasonal temperature is low, Bora should use oil with as low viscosity as possible to ensure smooth oil circulation.

What Transmission Does the Atenza Use?

The manufacturer of the Atenza's transmission is Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the highest market share globally. The Atenza uses a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. This transmission features eight forward gears. Essentially, a manual-automatic transmission is a traditional AT or CVT transmission with the added functionality of manual gear shifting. When using the Atenza's transmission in daily driving, it's important to keep the following points in mind: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged intervals between fluid changes can lead to damage to internal components such as bearings and the transmission housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While many experienced drivers of manual transmission vehicles may coast in neutral, doing so in an automatic transmission vehicle can cause overheating and create a noticeable jolt when shifting back into D (Drive) mode. Never shift into D or R (Reverse) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers attempt to demonstrate smooth operation by shifting into reverse while still moving forward, but this practice can severely damage transmission gears and may eventually lead to gear grinding issues. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D mode. When tackling steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high loads or experience power loss from premature upshifting. In such situations, use manual mode to maintain lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If the automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in N (Neutral) position. Never use tow ropes or attempt to tow the vehicle directly with another vehicle.

What is the symbol for windshield washer fluid?

The symbol for windshield washer fluid resembles that of the front windshield, with a spray symbol pointing upwards. This symbol is typically displayed on the washer fluid reservoir in the engine compartment. The color of the washer fluid reservoir is usually blue or yellow, and it's important to check and confirm this when adding windshield washer fluid to the vehicle. Precautions for using windshield washer fluid in cars: In summer, regular windshield washer fluid can be used, but in winter, it's essential to use washer fluid rated for -35 degrees Celsius to ensure the proper functioning of the vehicle's windshield washer system. Before winter arrives, summer washer fluid should be removed from the vehicle, or alternatively, winter washer fluid can be used year-round. Windshield washer fluid should not be homemade. DIY washer fluid mixtures can negatively impact the vehicle's windshield and wiper system, reducing their lifespan. During regular use, it's recommended to purchase washer fluid from auto repair shops or supermarkets and add it to the vehicle, as this effectively removes dirt from the windshield. When using the wiper system normally, maintenance is crucial to extend its lifespan. For example, avoid dry wiping, as this can directly damage both the wiper system and the windshield. Conditions indicating wiper replacement is needed: 1. Water streaking: This occurs when small water droplets remain on the windshield after a wipe, which could be caused by car wax, oil film, or issues with the wiper system itself. These residual droplets significantly impair visibility, necessitating timely wiper replacement. 2. Scraping noises: Prolonged exposure to air can cause wiper rubber to harden and components to wear. If the wipers produce abnormal noises when moving across the glass, it indicates severe wear and requires replacement to prevent windshield damage. 3. Streak marks: If wiping leaves behind streak marks, this is often due to improper contact between the wiper blade and windshield, though it could also stem from issues with wiper arm components. After inspection, replacement should be prepared.

What is the engine model of the Volkswagen T-Roc?

EA211-DJS is the engine model used in the Volkswagen T-Roc, with a maximum horsepower of 150 hp, a maximum power of 110 KW, a maximum power speed of 5000-6000 rpm, and a peak torque of 250 N.m. The engines used in domestically produced Volkswagens are all manufactured locally. Both SAIC Volkswagen and FAW-Volkswagen have engine assembly plants in China. Volkswagen is a German automobile manufacturer. For the daily maintenance of the Volkswagen T-Roc's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, select CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will deteriorate during use. After a certain mileage, performance degradation can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the relief valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures the engine operates properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What is the range-extending principle of the Li ONE?

The Li ONE's range-extended hybrid is essentially a series hybrid, meaning the engine and electric motor operate in a series configuration. The engine is directly connected to the generator and, when started, can only drive the generator to produce electricity rather than directly powering the wheels. The electricity generated by the generator is then used to drive the electric motor via an inverter/drive board, with any excess electricity stored in the battery. In EV mode, the battery supplies power to the electric motor, which drives the wheels. In HEV mode, the engine drives the generator to produce electricity, which then powers the electric motor. During rapid acceleration, when power demand is high, the battery supplements any shortfall, meaning both the battery and the generator work together to drive the electric motor. The advantages of a series hybrid include a simple structure, lower design and production difficulty, and lower costs, making it suitable for pure electric vehicles with large-capacity batteries. However, the drawbacks of a series hybrid are also quite apparent. The energy generated from fuel must undergo two conversions before driving the vehicle, resulting in lower efficiency and, consequently, less competitive fuel consumption. Compared to conventional fuel vehicles in the same class, the Li ONE has a slight advantage in fuel consumption during low-speed urban driving, as the engine wastes less energy when running, and excess power is absorbed by the generator and stored in the battery. Conventional fuel vehicles in urban conditions often operate at low gears, low speeds, and high RPMs, leading to significant energy waste. At medium to high speeds, the series hybrid's fuel consumption loses its advantage. The Li ONE is a smart electric mid-to-large SUV launched by Li Auto in October 2018, featuring advanced range-extending electric technology and intelligent systems. The 2021 Li ONE is equipped with an upgraded range-extending electric system, including a 1.2T turbocharged engine and a new drive motor. The total motor power is 245 kW, with a battery capacity of 40.5 kWh. The pure electric range is 188 km, and the fuel tank capacity has been increased from 45L to 55L. The NEDC combined fuel consumption is 1.5L per 100 km. The vehicle also features Li Auto's self-developed LiOS system and millimeter-wave radar for assisted driving functions.
