It usually takes about 7 to 15 days to return to normal. Here is the relevant introduction: Introduction to Engine Oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, plays roles such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption for the engine. It is known as the blood of a car. Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil. Requirements: As a type of machinery, engines have common requirements for lubricating oil similar to general machinery, such as appropriate viscosity, certain anti-oxidation, anti-wear, anti-corrosion, and viscosity-temperature properties. However, engines are also a special type of machinery, so their requirements for lubricating oil have unique aspects.

What are the reasons for the slow ignition start response of the Magotan?

The reasons for the slow ignition start response of the Magotan include low battery voltage, damaged fuel pump, faulty engine crankshaft position sensor or camshaft position sensor, and lack of cylinder pressure in the engine. Low battery voltage: When the vehicle battery is low on charge, it may result in no response during startup, preventing the starter from functioning. This can be checked by turning on the ignition switch and observing if the dashboard lights dim significantly during startup. If confirmed to be due to a dead battery, jump-starting the vehicle or replacing the battery can resolve the issue. Damaged fuel pump: A faulty fuel pump may prevent fuel from being supplied from the fuel tank for combustion. To diagnose, turn on the ignition switch and listen for the sound of the fuel pump operating inside the vehicle. If no sound is heard, the fuel pump may need replacement. If the fuel pump is not completely damaged, tapping the bottom of the fuel tank with a hard object like an iron rod might temporarily allow the vehicle to start. Besides the fuel pump, issues with the fuel pump control unit or relay could also be the cause. Faulty engine crankshaft position sensor or camshaft position sensor: If either the crankshaft position sensor or camshaft position sensor is damaged, the engine cannot detect the top dead center of the first cylinder, leading to startup failure. In this case, using a diagnostic tool to read the engine fault codes is necessary to identify the issue. Lack of cylinder pressure in the engine: If the engine lacks cylinder pressure, the vehicle will not start. In such cases, further disassembly of the engine is required to determine the exact cause of the problem.

Can the Engine Start-Stop Be Turned Off?

Engine start-stop can be turned off. The start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when needed to continue moving. Situations where the engine start-stop should be turned off include: 1. Do not use the start-stop system on slopes; 2. Turn off the start-stop system during irregular stop-and-go driving; 3. Disable the start-stop system when the air conditioning is on; 4. Deactivate the start-stop system during low-speed parking; 5. Do not refuel when the start-stop system has shut off the engine; 6. It is recommended to turn off the start-stop system when the fuel warning light is on; 7. The start-stop system must be turned off when driving through water. Conditions for the engine start-stop to activate are: 1. The engine is idling and not in gear; 2. The wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock braking system show zero speed; 3. The electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start.

What is the fuel consumption of the Lavida?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Lavida is 5.5-5.7L/100km. There are currently 10 models of the Lavida on sale. The DSG Comfort Edition, Automatic Vision Edition, Automatic Trend Edition, DSG Luxury Edition, and Automatic Comfort Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.5L/100km. The Manual Comfort Edition, Manual Trend Edition, Automatic Trend Edition (China VI), and Automatic Comfort Edition (China VI) have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km. The Manual Trend Edition (China VI) has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which represents the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 5.38-10.55L/100km. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive carbon deposits in the engine are a significant cause, mainly due to the use of unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaning agent when refueling. If the effect is not noticeable, it indicates a large amount of carbon deposits in the engine. In this case, the car must be taken to a 4S shop for professional technicians to clean the carbon deposits in the engine. Check the oxygen sensor: As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor mainly monitors the air-fuel ratio of the engine. Once it is damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the air-fuel ratio, and the fuel consumption will definitely increase suddenly. When the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust gas during driving, and the oxygen sensor should be replaced at this time. Regularly replace the three filters: During the use of the vehicle, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If they are not replaced for a long time, they will become dirty and send wrong information to the engine control unit, causing incomplete fuel combustion and increased carbon deposits in the engine. Check the electronic control unit: Although the reliability of the engine's electronic control unit is very high, in vehicles that have been used for a long time, various faults are inevitable.

Probability of Major Overhaul if Timing Belt Breaks?

Timing belt breakage can be directly replaced. Below is relevant information: Timing Belt: Connected to the crankshaft, it ensures accurate intake and exhaust timing through a specific transmission ratio. As a rubber component, the timing belt and its accessories will experience wear or aging over time. Hazards: A broken timing belt can cause damage to the engine's internal valves, posing significant risks. To prevent timing belt breakage, manufacturers strictly require replacement of the car's timing belt and its accessories within specified intervals. Depending on the engine structure, generally, the timing belt should be replaced when the vehicle has traveled 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers.
