I've been driving a Volkswagen Polo for almost ten years, and I take it in for maintenance every 10,000 kilometers or once a year, whichever comes first. Since I mostly drive in congested urban conditions, I check the engine oil level and cleanliness every 8,000 to 9,000 kilometers and change it immediately if it looks dirty. Regular maintenance includes oil and filter changes, and I also ask the mechanic to inspect the brake pads and lighting system to ensure driving safety. Last year, I delayed maintenance once, and the engine noise increased significantly. Later, tests showed excessive impurities in the oil, which almost caused serious issues. Now, I use a reminder app on my phone to schedule timely service. Regular maintenance not only extends the Polo's lifespan and reduces repair costs but also keeps the car running smoothly and fuel-efficiently. I also pay attention to maintaining proper tire pressure to avoid blowout risks. In short, this small maintenance habit has been a huge help—saving money and giving me peace of mind.

What type of engine oil is used for the Changan Oshan X7?

The engine oil specification for the Changan Oshan X7 is 5W-30. The Changan Oshan X7 uses original brand engine oil. If you wish to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose oil brands such as Shell, Mobil, Castrol, or Total. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, ensuring smoother cold starts for the car in low temperatures. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher this number, the better the oil can maintain its viscosity index at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the Changan Oshan X7 is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out; Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new oil through the engine valve cover filler port. Generally, fill about three-quarters of the oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the dipstick to check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.

Can RVs Travel on the Duku Highway?

No, the Duku Highway has explicitly stipulated that only vehicles with fewer than seven seats and weighing less than five tons are allowed. Trailers, semi-trailers, and large vehicles with more than seven seats or weighing over five tons are prohibited from entering the Duku Highway. Related information: 1. Introduction: The Duku Highway connects the Dushanzi District of Karamay City to Kuqa City in the Aksu Prefecture. Starting from Dushanzi District in the north, it traverses the Tianshan Mountains from north to south and ends in Kuqa City in the south, spanning a total of 561 kilometers. 2. Features: With more than half of its route winding through towering mountains and deep valleys, and connecting numerous ethnic minority settlements, it has been named by 'China National Geography' as the 'Scenic Boulevard Along the Tianshan Ridge.'

What Causes Abnormal Noises After a Car Drives Through Water?

Possible reasons for noises after a car drives through water include water entering the brake pads, foreign objects on the brake pads, and water ingestion in the exhaust pipe. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Water in the brake pads: If the car drives through shallow water and water splashes onto the brake pads, squeaking noises when braking are normal. This situation only requires normal driving until the water on the brake pads dries up. 2. Foreign objects on the brake pads: If the car drives through deep water, foreign objects like plastic bags, paper, or mud in the water may get stuck on the brake pads, causing noises when braking. In this case, the brake pads need to be cleaned. 3. Water ingestion in the exhaust pipe: If the car drives through deep water and water enters the engine through the exhaust pipe, it can prevent the fuel and air mixture in the engine from burning properly, leading to abnormal noises.

What Causes Internal Reflection After Applying Tint Film on Car Side Windows?

Internal reflection after applying tint film on car side windows may be caused by the use of inferior or counterfeit film. Here is additional information: 1. Inferior film not only affects aesthetics but may also produce formaldehyde bubbles, impacting the health of vehicle occupants. 2. If the film fades or causes severe glass reflection after some time, it could be a sign of inferior quality. 3. Inferior films have poor heat insulation and may even emit unpleasant odors. 4. It is best to have the film applied at a reputable auto decoration shop with professional equipment and technicians. Additionally, applying film on cloudy days when air humidity is higher can prevent impurities between the film and glass, resulting in better and more aesthetically pleasing results.

What are the consequences of using 92-octane gasoline in a BMW X3?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the BMW X3 should use 95-octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, the BMW X3 can also find this information on the fuel tank cap, which will be clearly marked. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the appropriate gasoline grade. High compression ratios can also be adjusted to use lower-grade gasoline. This is because, besides the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the BMW X3 occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower-grade gasoline, using higher-grade gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance as experienced by the driver. For vehicles recommended to use higher-grade gasoline, using lower-grade gasoline can cause engine knocking. This is because the significantly lower octane number reduces the gasoline's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If the fuel ignites before the spark plug fires, resistance will occur during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is imperceptible, it only increases noise without obvious engine damage. However, noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.
