BMW 5 Series does burn engine oil, and it is normal to consume about one liter per 10,000 kilometers. More extended information is as follows: Pay attention to regular oil level checks: When using engine oil, it is essential to regularly check the quality and quantity of the oil in use, as the crankcase must have sufficient oil to ensure the engine's normal lubrication state. If the oil level is too low, it can cause parts to burn out and accelerate oil deterioration. If the oil level is too high, it can enter the combustion chamber through the gap between the cylinder and piston, increasing carbon deposits in the combustion chamber. Therefore, the oil level in the crankcase should be checked frequently, and oil should be added promptly if it is insufficient. Pay attention to regular oil changes: Note that different types of engine oil cannot be mixed. Special gasoline engine oil cannot replace diesel engine oil, mainly to avoid accelerating diesel engine wear. Since gasoline engine oil and diesel engine oil differ in usage, they can only be substituted if the manufacturer provides a substitution note or indicates that the oil is universal for both gasoline and diesel engines, or if it is within the specified grade range.

How many kilometers should a motorcycle run before changing the engine oil?

Motorcycles should change the engine oil every 2,000 kilometers. While the engine is running, the oil forms a thin film on the surfaces of various components inside the engine, preventing direct contact and friction between these parts. Engine oil is a substance enhanced with additives in a base oil, primarily containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers. The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear on moving parts, remove sludge and varnish from the engine, neutralize acids produced by fuel and lubricant oxidation, improve piston ring sealing, and cool the engine by carrying away heat from moving parts.

What to Do When There is Sand Scrubbing the Car Window Glass?

To solve the problem of sand scrubbing the car window glass, you can: 1. Use a hair dryer or water gun to blow away the sand on the window; 2. Use toothpaste to repair small scratches on the glass by applying a small amount of toothpaste and repeatedly rubbing the scratches; 3. For slightly deeper scratches, glass polishing can be performed. Glass polishing can repair minor scratches on the glass, restoring the car window to its original condition, which helps improve driving visibility and enhances safe driving. It is important to pay attention to glass maintenance during regular use. Proper use of windshield washer fluid can provide necessary protection for the car's glass. In daily glass maintenance routines, choose the appropriate windshield washer fluid based on the season and specific weather conditions.

Will I get points deducted for driving at 85 in an 80 km/h speed limit zone?

Driving at 85 in an 80 km/h speed limit zone will not result in points deduction. If the speed exceeds the limit by less than 10%, there will be no points deduction or fine. Driving at 85 in an 80 km/h zone is considered a violation, but there is no actual penalty mechanism. Although you may receive a violation notice, it is merely a reminder for the driver to pay attention to speed control next time. Speeding refers to driving at a speed higher than the legally set maximum speed or the speed indicated by speed limit signs, or failing to reduce speed when required by law. When there are speed limit traffic signs or speed limit markings, drivers should strictly adhere to the indicated speed limits.

What Causes a Car to Lack Power When Climbing Uphill?

If the engine operates normally under no load but accelerates slowly under load, the car lacks power when climbing uphill, and even with the accelerator pedal fully pressed, there is still insufficient power, the engine speed does not increase adequately, and the maximum speed cannot be reached. The main causes of the fault are: (1) Clogged air filter. (2) Improper throttle adjustment, preventing full opening. (3) Fuel pressure too low. (4) Clogged or poorly atomizing fuel injectors. (5) Faulty coolant temperature sensor. (6) Faulty mass air flow sensor. (7) Incorrect ignition timing or weak high-voltage spark. (8) Low engine compression pressure.

How to Deal with Water in Car Headlights?

For relatively minor cases of water inside the headlights, there's no need to worry too much. After the headlights are turned on for a while, the moisture will evaporate and exit through the vent pipe along with the heat. Disassemble the headlight, open the cover, and let it dry. Then, inspect the surface of the headlight for any damage or potential leakage points. If any abnormalities are found, it is recommended to replace the rear cover seal. After water enters the headlight, never attempt to dry it by baking, as this can easily damage the headlight. The exterior of the headlight is made of plastic, which can melt under high heat.
