Generally, you can drive about 5,000 kilometers after an oil change. Depending on usage conditions or other factors, the oil change interval can be appropriately adjusted to ensure good engine lubrication under different operating conditions and extend the engine's service life. Engine Oil: Also known as engine lubricant, with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting certain new characteristics, making them an essential part of the lubricant. Functions of Engine Oil: It lubricates and reduces friction in the engine, aids in cooling, seals against leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and acts as a shock absorber, earning it the nickname "blood" of the car.

What car is the SLS?

SLS refers to the Cadillac Seville. Seville Car Exterior and Interior: It is a luxury sedan launched by Shanghai General Motors, developed based on the third-generation Sigma platform. The domestic version of the Seville has a slightly longer body than the overseas version, offering more rear-seat space. Both versions use the high-performance sport-oriented Seville platform. Seville Configuration: The car is equipped with three main engines: a 2.8L, a 3.6L, and a 4.6L naturally aspirated engine. The Seville is built on the third-generation Sigma chassis platform and features the MRC (Magnetic Ride Control) active electromagnetic suspension system. The system works by varying the voltage between electrodes to alter the arrangement of magnetic particles in the shock absorber fluid, thereby adjusting the damping. It can respond up to 1000 times per second.

How to Determine if a Car Battery is Good or Bad?

Methods to determine the condition of a car battery are as follows: 1. Checking the electrolyte level in the car battery: The electrolyte level can be measured using a glass tube. Normally, the electrolyte level should be 10~15mm above the plates. For new batteries, the electrolyte level can be observed through the height indicator line on the side. If the electrolyte is insufficient and it is confirmed that the level has decreased due to electrolyte splashing, distilled water should be added. 2. Checking the discharge level through electrolyte density: The discharge level can be roughly estimated by measuring the electrolyte density. Generally, for every decrease of 0.01g/cm2 in electrolyte density, it is equivalent to a 6% discharge of the battery. Note: The measured electrolyte density needs to be converted to a value at 25°C before making a judgment.

Why Can a 50L Fuel Tank Hold 55L at the Gas Station?

Car fuel tanks have standard capacity that differs from actual capacity. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Every vehicle fuel tank has both rated capacity and actual capacity. There is a discrepancy between these two figures: The fuel tank capacity shown in vehicle specifications or labeled on the fuel cap represents only the maximum reasonable capacity. 2. Regular fuel tanks can accommodate 10% or even 15% more fuel than their labeled capacity: All objects experience thermal expansion and contraction. During design, considering the fuel's expansion coefficient, designers set a safety margin - the maximum reasonable capacity. When refueling, staying below this value is acceptable. Exceeding it slightly isn't cause for alarm, though doing so increases risks like potential fuel overflow due to temperature rises. 3. A car's fuel tank serves purely as a container, not a measuring device: Its capacity value permits reasonable tolerance for minor discrepancies.

What causes all the warning lights to suddenly illuminate in a Mercedes-Benz GLA200?

Possible causes include issues with fuel quality, carbon buildup in the engine or spark plugs, etc. Below are the indicator light colors and their meanings: Red indicator lights: Red indicator lights are all fault warning lights. If you see your car's indicator lights turn red, pull over immediately. Main red warning lights include: oil pressure warning light, engine temperature warning light, charging system warning light, and brake fluid level warning light. Once these illuminate, you must stop or turn off the engine immediately for inspection and should not continue driving. Yellow indicator lights: While lacking the urgency of flashing red lights, many drivers don't take yellow indicator lights seriously. However, yellow indicator lights indicate potential safety hazards in the vehicle. For example, if a bulb fails, the "bulb warning light" will flash continuously to prompt replacement. Other examples include the engine (exhaust system) fault light, oil system fault light, and battery/charging system fault light.
