Volkswagen's dry dual-clutch transmission requires gear oil replacement, and the replacement method is as follows: 1. Locate and remove the odometer shaft cover, then pull out the plastic small gear; 2. Unscrew the gear oil drain plug of the transmission, drain all the gear oil, and then tighten the drain plug; 3. Add gear oil through the odometer shaft hole, ensuring the oil level does not exceed the F-line; 4. Reinstall the gear. The functions of gear oil include: 1. Alleviating engine friction and high temperatures; 2. Reducing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants; 3. Protecting components from contact with water, air, and harmful acidic gases; 4. Buffering the pressure at the engine cylinder port; 5. Cleaning dirt from component surfaces.

What Can Be Caused by Overheating Engine?

Excessive vehicle coolant temperature severely affects the normal operation of the engine. Common consequences include: 1. Warning alerts for high coolant temperature or engine overheating on the dashboard. 2. The engine cooling fan rotates at high speed, producing loud noise. 3. Engine knocking may occur. 4. In severe cases, it may lead to engine bearing failure, cylinder scoring, piston sintering, and engine failure to start. Below is additional information: 1. The vehicle's coolant temperature reflects the working condition of the cooling system. The engine operates best at an appropriate high temperature, which facilitates better fuel combustion and reduces gas emissions. 2. The main causes of engine overheating include insufficient coolant, cooling fan malfunction, circulation water pump failure, thermostat failure, and poor radiator cooling performance.

What standard is Castrol SP?

Castrol SP is the SP standard. The API (American Petroleum Institute) specifies that oils starting with 'S' represent gasoline engine oils. The grades of gasoline engine oils, from low to high, are: SF, SG, SJ, SL, SM, SN. Grade classification: Engine oils range from 'SA' to 'SN'. With each increasing letter, the performance of the oil improves over the previous one, containing more additives to protect the engine. The further back the letter, the higher the quality grade. Most international brands have oil grades above SF. Gasoline classification: Automotive engine oils are specifically classified into 4 types for summer, 6 types for winter, and 16 types for all-season use.

Does Idling Burn Fuel?

Running the air conditioning while the car is idling consumes fuel. Keeping the engine idling with the AC on not only consumes a significant amount of fuel but may also damage the vehicle. Higher fuel consumption during idling: The fuel consumption when running the air conditioning while idling is relatively high, typically around 2L/h. Therefore, leaving the engine running with the AC on for extended periods can burn a substantial amount of fuel. If the car is low on fuel, it may continue to burn until the engine stalls. Engine carbon buildup during idling: Insufficient fuel combustion during idling can lead to carbon buildup in the engine. Severe carbon buildup can affect the car's normal startup, reduce engine power, increase fuel consumption, and cause issues such as excessive exhaust emissions.
