Engines using semi-synthetic oil can have the oil changed every 7,500 kilometers or 8 months. More relevant information is as follows: 1. If the city has a lot of airborne dust, very low temperatures (below -20°C), or the car is frequently used for short trips (each drive is less than 8 kilometers), it is recommended to change the oil more frequently, at 6,000 kilometers or every 6 months. 2. The exact time for changing the oil varies depending on the city, environment, and driving needs. 3. First, note the time interval between each oil change, and then observe the driving experience after changing the oil. If the car feels smoother with better power output and quieter operation after the oil change, it indicates that the previous oil change interval was too long, and the next interval should be shortened.

What are the consequences of running out of urea in a truck?

Here are the consequences of running out of urea in a truck: 1. Impact on the vehicle: If urea is not injected, nitrogen oxide emissions will be worse than those of a National III vehicle. Long-term absence of urea circulation can easily cause crystallization blockage or high-temperature damage to the nozzle, pipelines, and urea pump, resulting in very expensive repairs. Not adding urea, adding water, or diluting urea with water will trigger the emission warning light, limit torque, and make the vehicle very sluggish. However, it does not affect the engine's lifespan and performance, the catalyst carrier, or the exhaust temperature and NOx sensors. 2. Impact on fuel consumption: Manufacturers must input the urea sensor's data into the engine control unit (ECU) when producing National IV engines. Once the sensor data indicates that the urea is depleted or missing, the ECU will control the engine's operating conditions, making the engine feel underpowered. This lack of power requires more throttle input, naturally increasing fuel consumption. Even so, the engine still cannot achieve full-load power output.

What Causes Steering Wheel Vibration When the Air Conditioner is On?

Turning on the air conditioner increases the engine load. Insufficient vehicle power can result in vibration. Below is an introduction to steering wheel vibration: 1. Encountering bumpy roads: This occurs because, while driving, loose tie rod ends or detached rubber bushings at the joints, along with irregular tire wear, can cause vibration. It is advisable to have the vehicle inspected at a professional repair shop and replace any damaged components. 2. High-speed driving: Excessive or frequent braking can cause the brake discs and pads to overheat and deform upon cooling, leading to steering wheel vibration. Typically, replacing the brake discs and pads resolves the issue. 3. Turning on the air conditioner: As mentioned, this increases the engine load. Insufficient vehicle power can lead to vibration.

What Causes the Outlander's Radiator to Leak?

The Outlander's radiator leaks at the joint between the radiator core and the plastic side of the radiator. Below is an introduction to the Outlander:1. Exterior Features: The Outlander's front end appears very robust, with an inverted triangular bulge on the engine hood extending down to the top of the bumper, and the front air intake is split into two parts. The slightly protruding design of the lower body gives it a full appearance. However, compared to the original version, the modifications claimed by BAIC to suit Chinese conditions can be understood as cost-cutting measures, with the recreational vehicle's highlights—the sunroof and roof rack—missing. At the very least, the sunroof should be offered as an option.2. Engine: The Outlander's engine compartment houses a 2.4-liter Mitsubishi 4G64S4M 16-valve multi-point fuel injection gasoline engine.
