Idling the car generally does not increase the load or consume much fuel. Below is some information about fuel consumption: 1. Introduction: It usually refers to the amount of gasoline consumed per 100 kilometers, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. 2. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: The longer the car idles, the more fuel it consumes, so try to minimize idle time; avoid rapid acceleration, slamming the throttle, and driving at low RPMs. 3. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Various driving conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling, as well as load capacity, temperature, and whether the air conditioning is on, all have an impact.

What tires are best suited for the Hyundai Elantra?

If you are replacing tires for a new car, it is best to choose the same brand and tread pattern, as different brands use varying material compositions, resulting in differences in tire rubber hardness. This can lead to steering deviation during high-speed driving. The Hyundai Elantra comes factory-equipped with Nexen tires, with tire sizes varying by trim: 225/45R17 and 205/55R16. Nexen, a South Korean company, primarily supplies tires to Korean-made vehicles. Nexen tires are moderately priced and focus on comfort. For higher performance, Michelin or Continental tires are also good options, but ensure the size matches the original tires. Below is a comparison of different tire brands (for reference only, as individual experiences may vary): 1. Road noise: Continental > Michelin > Pirelli; 2. Durability: Pirelli P7 > Michelin > Continental grip; 3. (Braking & acceleration) Pirelli > Michelin > Continental; 4. Continental: Pros – lower road noise, but less durable; Michelin: Average performance across the board, Con – expensive; Pirelli: High overall performance.

What is the viscosity grade of multi-grade engine oil?

There are 16 types of multi-grade oil viscosity grades, which are: 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-40, 5W-50, 10W-20, etc. The W stands for Winter. Here is some information about multi-grade engine oil: 1. Performance: The W stands for Winter. The smaller the number before the W, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, indicating that it can be used in lower environmental temperatures and provides better protection for the engine during cold starts. The number after the W indicates the oil's high-temperature resistance. The larger the number, the better the oil's protective performance at high temperatures. 2. Oil classification: Oil classification is represented by a combination of two letters. The "S" series represents oil for gasoline engines. The general specifications range from SA to SN (in alphabetical order, but there is no SI). Each subsequent letter indicates better performance than the previous one, with more additives in the oil to protect the engine.

Is it a problem for a car to be exposed to sun and rain?

Exposing a car to sun and rain can cause damage. First Maintenance: Some manufacturers determine the first maintenance based on time or mileage. The exact timing should be referred to the vehicle's user manual or warranty manual. The first maintenance is very important and is usually free, so it's essential to remember to do it to avoid missing it and affecting the car's third maintenance. Maintenance Items: Main car maintenance items include changing engine oil, oil filters, transmission oil, spark plugs, air conditioning filters, air filters, brake fluid, etc. However, not all items need to be replaced in every maintenance session; it depends on their service life. Additionally, maintenance involves inspecting and servicing dozens of items across multiple systems, including the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires.

Can I Get a Loan to Buy a Car in Another City?

You can get a loan to buy a car in another city. Generally, there are two types of loans available for purchasing a car in another city: credit loans and secured loans. 1. Credit Loan: The applicant needs to have valid identification and full civil capacity. The applicant must provide a detailed residential address and proof of income. For self-employed individuals who cannot provide proof of income, a business license and approximately three months of bank statements are required. The applicant must also have a good credit record with the bank and have already paid a down payment that is not less than the minimum required amount. This qualifies the applicant for a credit loan. 2. Secured Loan: For a secured loan, the applicant needs to provide a local guarantor company to act as a guarantor. Non-locals can indeed obtain a loan to buy a car in another city, but they must meet certain conditions. If the borrower can find a qualified guarantor company in the local area to act as a guarantor, they can also apply for a secured loan to finance the car purchase.
