W12 has 12 cylinders. Here are the specific details about the W12: 1. Arrangement: The W12 has 12 cylinders, with the 'W' referring to the W arrangement. It has four rows of cylinders arranged at an angle, with three cylinders in each row. 2. Models equipped: The W12 engine is rare, but some cars are equipped with this engine, such as the Audi A8, Volkswagen Phaeton, and Bentley Continental. The displacement of the W12 engine is generally over 6.0 liters, and most large-displacement engines are naturally aspirated. Engine displacement is the total volume of all the cylinders in an engine, usually measured in liters. The cylinder displacement refers to the volume of gas swept by the piston from the top dead center to the bottom dead center, also known as single-cylinder displacement, which depends on the cylinder bore and piston stroke.

How often should the transmission fluid of the Haval H6 be changed?

The transmission fluid of the Haval H6 needs to be changed every 55,000 kilometers. It is recommended to change it on time and to have it replaced at a 4S shop. The Haval H6 uses two types of transmissions: a 6-speed manual transmission and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry dual-clutch transmissions, where the clutch plates are not immersed in transmission fluid, and wet dual-clutch transmissions, where the clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid. The Haval H6 has a body size of 4640mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1690mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm, surpassing the spaciousness of SUVs and joint-venture sedans in the same class, providing customers with a comfortable, convenient, and multifunctional free experience.

Is the engine of the Hongqi H9 domestically produced?

Hongqi H9's engine is domestically produced. The working principle of the engine: 1. Mix air and gasoline in a certain proportion to form a combustible mixture; 2. The intake stroke draws the mixture into the cylinder, where it is compressed, ignited, and burned to generate thermal energy; 3. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas acts on the top of the piston, driving the piston to perform reciprocating linear motion, and the mechanical energy is output externally through the connecting rod, crankshaft, and flywheel mechanism. The 2020 Hongqi H9 Qiyue Edition features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a trapezoidal control arm multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 252 PS, a maximum power of 185 kW, and a maximum torque of 380 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Can Antifreeze Be Used After 5 Years of Storage?

Generally, the shelf life of antifreeze is two years; long-life antifreeze has a longer validity period, which can range from three to five years. For specific details, check the expiration date on the packaging. Some car owners, who are not particularly meticulous about their vehicles and treat them more like workhorses, continue to use antifreeze even after it has passed its expiration date and has been opened for some time. As long as the antifreeze itself has not deteriorated, it can still be used without issues. If unsure, you can have a mechanic check its quality. When adding antifreeze, besides paying attention to its shelf life, you should also consider its boiling and freezing points. High-quality antifreeze typically has a boiling point around 110°C and a freezing point below -25°C, which are the main reasons why antifreeze provides anti-freeze and anti-boil functions.

Does the Steering Wheel Control the Front or Rear Wheels?

The steering wheel is used to control the direction of the front wheels, constantly adjusting their orientation. In general household vehicles, such as sedans and MPVs, the front wheels are controlled for steering. Special vehicles, like forklifts and large excavators, use the steering wheel to control the rear wheels. Reasons for not controlling the rear wheels: 1. Instability: Rear-wheel steering has extremely poor stability, making it difficult to control at higher speeds, which goes against normal driving logic. 2. Cost-ineffectiveness: Current steering assistance systems are divided into hydraulic and electronic types. Electronic power steering theoretically doesn't require mechanical structures for steering, so purely rear-wheel steering could eliminate the need for mechanical backups. However, without mechanical backups, if the vehicle malfunctions, steering control would be lost. If mechanical backups are implemented, a steering rod as long as 1 to 2 meters would be required. Given that cost is a decisive factor in current vehicle manufacturing, this approach would never be permitted.

Do You Need to Press the Brake When Shifting Gears in a Manual Transmission Car?

Shifting gears in a manual transmission car does not require pressing the brake. When shifting gears, you must first press the clutch pedal all the way down, and the operation of the gear lever should be light, quick, gentle, and precise. The starting steps for such a car are: 1. Insert the key and turn it to the 'on' position; 2. Place the gear lever in the neutral position; 3. Press the clutch all the way down and turn the key to the 'start' position. Manual transmission cars are equipped with a manual gearbox, which works by switching different gear sets to achieve gear ratio changes. The manual gearbox consists of a power input shaft, an output shaft, and gears. The power input shaft is connected to the clutch, and the power transmitted from the clutch is directly passed to the gear set through the input shaft. Different gear ratios result in different power transmission effects, and shifting gears while driving refers to changing the gear ratio.
