Tire patching is acceptable for highway driving. Here are some details about driving on highways with patched tires: 1. Conditions: Tires repaired at authorized 4S stores can still be used. However, due to factors such as the quality of the tire repair or aging of the patch over time, air leakage may occur. If you continue to drive at high speeds without realizing this, prolonged driving with low tire pressure could cause sidewall damage, leading to tire failure. Therefore, patched tires pose certain safety risks compared to intact tires. 2. Recommendation: For the sake of highway driving safety, it is generally recommended to move patched tires to the rear axle or use them as spare tires. This can minimize the potential negative impact of compromised tire performance on highway driving safety.

What kind of engine oil should be used for Volkswagen CC maintenance?

Volkswagen CC maintenance recommends using 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil. The following is a detailed introduction to Volkswagen CC engine oil maintenance: 1. Under harsh working conditions, fully synthetic engine oil can also provide excellent protection for the car and ensure the normal operation of the engine. When changing the engine oil for Volkswagen CC, it is recommended to add about 4.5L of engine oil. Do not add too much engine oil when filling. If too much engine oil is added, it will have a certain impact on the engine's operation, and in severe cases, it will affect the normal operation of the engine. 2. There are three types of engine oil used in cars: mineral engine oil, semi-synthetic engine oil, and fully synthetic engine oil. The service life of mineral engine oil is about 5,000 kilometers, the service life of semi-synthetic engine oil is about 6,500 kilometers, and the service life of fully synthetic engine oil is about 10,000 kilometers. 3. Different types of engine oil have different effects. Compared with the other two types of engine oil, fully synthetic engine oil has better performance. During the use of the car, regular maintenance is required. If the engine oil is excessively consumed, it will affect the car's operating performance and driving experience, and will also cause a large amount of carbon deposits in the engine, causing the piston ring's gas ring to stick, resulting in a decrease in engine power and an increase in car fuel consumption.
