When the fuel tank light comes on, theoretically the car can still drive for at least 40-50 kilometers. There are two key points to note when adding engine oil: When selecting engine oil: It is necessary to strictly follow the engine oil grade specified in the car's user manual. If the same grade is not available, you can use a higher-grade oil, but never use a lower-grade one as a substitute. When adding engine oil: The amount of oil added should be slightly below the standard mark. Excessive oil will increase the crankshaft's rotational resistance, reduce the engine's output power, and the surplus oil may enter the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning, blue smoke emission, and increased fuel consumption.

Must a Financed Car Be Licensed at a 4S Shop?

When purchasing a car with a loan from a 4S shop, you can handle the vehicle licensing yourself; it is not mandatory for the shop to take care of it. Below is additional information: Materials required for registration application: Identity proof of the vehicle owner; proof of vehicle origin such as the purchase invoice; vehicle manufacturing qualification certificate or import certificate for imported vehicles; proof of vehicle purchase tax payment or tax exemption certificate; compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate; vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate; other proofs and documents required by laws and administrative regulations during vehicle registration. For vehicles not imported through customs or exempt from safety technical inspections as stipulated by the national vehicle product authority, a vehicle safety technical inspection certificate must also be submitted. Cases where registration will not be processed: Invalid proofs or documents submitted by the vehicle owner; altered vehicle origin proof or discrepancy between the vehicle owner recorded in the origin proof and the identity proof; discrepancy between the submitted proofs and the vehicle; vehicles manufactured without approval from the national vehicle product authority or imported without approval from the national import vehicle authority; discrepancy between the vehicle's technical data and the data announced by the national vehicle product authority; vehicle model, engine number, vehicle identification number, or technical data not complying with national safety technical standards; vehicles meeting the national mandatory scrapping standards; vehicles sealed or seized by courts, procuratorates, or administrative law enforcement departments; stolen or robbed vehicles; other circumstances not in compliance with laws and administrative regulations.

What does EPC mean in a car?

The EPC indicator light can illuminate in two states: during power-on self-test and under other circumstances. The power-on self-test is an indication of the vehicle monitoring all sensor statuses before driving. Generally, if the vehicle is not started after power-on, the light will turn off by itself after about 3 seconds. In other cases, if the EPC light remains illuminated after the vehicle starts or does not turn off for a long time, the main causes may include faults in the engine intake system, throttle valve, fuel system, engine, ECU control unit, or brake lights. Here is a detailed introduction to the reasons for the EPC light illuminating under other circumstances: Engine intake system fault: The EPC light will alert when the engine intake is obstructed or insufficient. Throttle valve fault: Carbon buildup is a common issue with the throttle valve. Additionally, dirt on the main body can affect intake, causing the indicator light to illuminate. Fuel system fault: Issues such as substandard fuel, fuel deterioration, or poor fuel atomization can trigger the EPC light. Engine fault: Insufficient engine pressure or problems with the intake valve and other power system components can also cause the EPC light to illuminate. ECU control unit fault: For example, interference with the vehicle computer signals or false alarms from the vehicle computer. Brake light fault: Situations like non-functional brake lights, faulty brake switches, or brake circuit issues. Solutions for the EPC light illuminating in a car: Troubleshoot the intake system, use fuel with the appropriate octane rating, clean the throttle valve, etc. Remove carbon deposits from relevant parts. Re-flash ECU-related data. If the EPC light illuminates, the owner can first try turning off the engine and restarting it to see if the EPC light remains on. If it does not, there may be no issue, and the EPC light might have been affected temporarily. If the EPC light stays on or frequently illuminates, drive to the nearest repair facility for professional assistance to diagnose and fix the issue, ensuring timely elimination of safety hazards. EPC stands for Electronic-Power-Control, which translates to electronic power control. Most people refer to it as the engine electronic stability system. The EPC system primarily includes controllers and sensors related to the power system. When sensor data in the system is abnormal, the EPC system will take predefined actions on the power system. Common EPC indicator lights typically display two colors: yellow and red. A yellow EPC fault light indicates that the vehicle can still be driven, but it should proceed slowly to a repair point for inspection. A red EPC fault light signifies a more serious issue, and the vehicle should be pulled over immediately, with contact made to relevant repair personnel for assistance. Continuing to drive under such conditions can directly affect the vehicle's core components or driving safety.

How Many Liters of Brake Fluid Does a Jetta Need?

Generally, 1L of brake fluid is sufficient for a brake fluid change. The functions of automotive brake fluid include: Energy transmission: The primary roles of automotive brake fluid are energy transmission, heat dissipation, corrosion prevention, and rust lubrication. Proper use of brake fluid can accelerate energy transmission and enhance heat dissipation. Heat energy conversion: Since the braking process also converts kinetic energy into heat energy, part of this converted heat energy is released into the air, while another part is transferred to the brake fluid. Ensuring normal brake pressure transmission: This also requires the brake fluid's boiling point to prevent it from boiling during the braking process, which could affect the transmission of braking pressure.

What brand of tires does Subaru use as original equipment?

Subaru BRZ models are equipped with Yokohama's dB series tires. Things to note about car tires: Check tire pressure regularly: Regularly check the tire pressure of your car tires, generally maintaining it around 2.5 bar. Check for wear: Before long-distance driving, inspect the tires for wear and tear, and repair them promptly if the wear is severe. Perform wheel alignment promptly: After replacing or repairing tires, perform wheel alignment and dynamic balancing in a timely manner to prevent abnormal vibrations during high-speed driving. Rotate front and rear tires reasonably: When the car has traveled approximately 30,000 kilometers, rotate the front and rear tires to balance the wear level of each tire.
