When the fuel gauge needle of a car reaches the red line, there is approximately 10% of fuel left in the tank, and on average, the car can continue to run for 20km to 60km, but this depends on the specific model. Here is some additional information: 1. Distance limit: When the fuel gauge indicator light comes on and reaches the red zone, there is usually 15% to 20% of the total fuel capacity remaining. The distance you can drive depends on calculations. For example, if you are driving on a highway and the fuel gauge light comes on, there is no need to worry, as the distance between highway service areas is generally around 40km and should not exceed 60km. 2. Fuel-saving methods: Control your speed and drive smoothly. According to tests, for low-displacement cars (1.3-1.8L), the most fuel-efficient speed is between 45-65km/h, while for cars with 2.0-3.0L engines, the most fuel-efficient speed is between 55-75km/h. Turn off all electrical appliances in the car. Navigation, radio, music, air conditioning, etc., and closing the windows to reduce wind resistance can also help save fuel.

Do Side Skirts Need to Be Registered?

Yes, generally when modifying, you should register with the vehicle management office to avoid being checked by traffic police. Installing front splitters and side skirts falls under exterior modifications. Below is additional information: Reasons for Modification: Many car modification enthusiasts like to install front splitters and side skirts on their beloved cars. After installation, the car's chassis appears lower, and the overall look becomes more appealing. Some front splitters can actually serve aerodynamic purposes, as can some side skirts. Preventing Damage: When installing front splitters and side skirts, it's essential to go to a professional shop to ensure secure installation. If you have installed front splitters and side skirts, be extra cautious when driving on rough, unpaved roads. Some car owners even opt for carbon fiber front splitters, which can be costly to replace if damaged. Front splitters are highly susceptible to damage during daily use, so careful consideration is necessary before installation.

Should I repaint or transfer ownership first when buying a used car?

Transfer ownership first. Here are precautions for buying a used car: Identify tires: The replacement cycle for tires is generally three to five years, but it still depends on the actual usage. You can judge the condition of tires by tread depth, cracks, uneven wear, etc. Complete procedures: Before buying a car, check whether the relevant procedures are complete. Incomplete procedures will also make it impossible to transfer ownership. For cars of certain ages, it is best to check the insurance. Test drive: You must test drive a used car. It is best to go over some speed bumps or uneven roads to see if the suspension system is normal. When the car starts, pay attention to whether the start is smooth, whether the clutch shakes, and whether the gearshift is smooth and flexible.

What type of engine oil is suitable for the Sylphy?

Sylphy is suitable for 5W30 engine oil. 5W30 refers to the viscosity grade of the engine oil. The number before the W indicates the cold start performance, with a smaller number indicating better low-temperature fluidity of the oil. The W signifies that it can be used in winter, while the number after the W represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil, with a higher number indicating higher viscosity. Taking the 2021 Sylphy as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4631mm, width 1760mm, height 1503mm, wheelbase 2700mm, minimum ground clearance 166mm, fuel tank capacity 50 liters, and trunk capacity 510 liters.

Can You Add Water If the Coolant Is Too Low?

You can add water if the coolant is too low. The methods to check if the coolant is too low are: 1. Start the vehicle and let the system perform a self-check. Observe the vehicle dashboard, where there will be a fluid level indicator; 2. Pull the handle located near the driver's seat to open the hood, then check the coolant reservoir, which is marked with high and low level indicators. Coolant refers to a liquid containing special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. Precautions for its use include: 1. Different types of antifreeze should not be mixed; 2. Do not open the radiator cap or drain valve immediately after driving; 3. When replacing the coolant, ensure all the old antifreeze is completely removed and the radiator is thoroughly cleaned.

What Are the Basic Components of a Manual Transmission?

Manual transmission basic components: input shaft, output shaft, differential, gear sets for each gear, bearings, synchronizer, shift mechanism, shift fork, oil seal, lubricating oil, housing, output flange. Manual transmission is also called mechanical transmission, which means you must manually move the gear lever to change the gear meshing position of the transmission, alter the gear ratio, and achieve the purpose of shifting. Most car manual transmissions are four-speed or five-speed stepped gear transmissions, usually equipped with synchronizers for convenient shifting and low noise. When operating a manual transmission, you must depress the clutch to move the gear lever. Depending on the relative position of the shift handle and the transmission, there are two structural types: direct control type and remote control type.
