BMW X5 requires 6.5 liters of engine oil. Methods for selecting engine oil: When choosing engine oil, three main factors should be considered: API grade, viscosity grade, and base oil quality. For motorcycles like the Xi Shark, an API grade of SF or above is sufficient. The viscosity grade can be 10W-30 or 10W-40, and the base oil quality can be mineral oil, semi-synthetic, or fully synthetic oil depending on the situation. The specific oil change model can be referred to in the vehicle's user manual. Methods for checking engine oil level: The engine oil level can be checked using the dipstick in the oil pan. When the engine is cold, pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then pull it out again. As long as the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks, it is acceptable.

How Does a Tow Truck Tow a Car Away?

Check the towing device of the faulty vehicle to ensure the connection between the tow rope and the faulty car is secure. Assemble the onboard tow hook. Once the faulty vehicle's tires touch the front-end stopper of the flatbed, lower the flatbed to a horizontal position and reset it. When installing the towing equipment, ensure the connection to the vehicle's tow hook is secure, and double-check before starting to tow. The purpose of these steps is to ensure sufficient traction force can be provided under high torque, allowing for smooth and controlled driving during the towing process.

How to Handle a Motorcycle That Hasn't Undergone Annual Inspection for Four Years?

If the motorcycle hasn't undergone annual inspection since its first registration four years ago, you only need to renew the insurance. If the motorcycle has undergone annual inspection after its initial registration but has now exceeded three inspection cycles without inspection, it has been mandatorily scrapped. You now need to go through the motor vehicle deregistration procedure; otherwise, you won't be able to handle any motor vehicle or driver's license-related matters under your name. Before deregistering the motorcycle, you must also pay the fine for overdue inspection, which includes a fine and a deduction of three points from your license.

Can Lowering the Vehicle Height Pass Annual Inspection?

Lowering the vehicle height, also known as stance modification, will not pass the annual inspection. To pass the inspection, the vehicle must first be restored to its original condition. The low stance style is popular among many car enthusiasts, but modifying the vehicle to achieve this look is not allowed and should not be done arbitrarily. Below are the key points to note for vehicle annual inspections: 1. Vehicle Exterior: A dirty vehicle can affect the inspection of the exterior and undercarriage. Since photos are required during the inspection, excessively dirty vehicles may not be photographed. Additionally, many owners like to apply custom stickers or club emblems on their vehicles. Any stickers or emblems, regardless of size, are not permitted during the inspection, with the exception of legally approved decals such as "New Driver" labels that have been filed and approved by the authorities. Moreover, vehicles with exterior modifications will not pass the inspection. Simply put, if the vehicle does not match the photo on the registration certificate, it is considered modified. 2. Window Tinting on the Triangle Window: While window tinting generally does not affect the inspection, the triangular section of the front windows must remain untinted to ensure sufficient light transmission for the driver to use the side mirrors effectively. Tinting this area will result in a failed inspection. 3. Insurance Validity: The inspection date often coincides with the insurance expiration date. It is important to note that if the new insurance policy has been renewed before the old one expires, the old policy (still valid) must be presented during the inspection. The new policy, if not yet in effect, cannot be used for the inspection. 4. Tire Specifications: Typically, tires need replacement after about 70,000 kilometers. Many owners opt for different brands or specialized tires to suit their driving needs. However, the replacement tires must match the original specifications exactly. Even if the wheel design remains unchanged, any deviation in tire size or model will result in a failed inspection.

How Many Kilometers Can the Baojun 510 Run When the Fuel Gauge Light Comes On?

When the fuel gauge light of the Baojun 510 comes on, it can generally run for about 70 to 80 kilometers on the highway, and approximately 50 kilometers in urban areas. When the fuel gauge light turns yellow, the remaining fuel in the tank is roughly around 10%. However, it is advisable to avoid waiting until the fuel light comes on to refuel, as this can damage the fuel pump. Methods to save fuel: 1. When stopping for a short time, such as at a brief traffic light, simply pressing the brake pedal is sufficient. However, if the stop lasts longer than 2 minutes, it is recommended to shift into N (Neutral) gear to protect the transmission and prevent the transmission fluid from overheating. If the stop exceeds 5 minutes, it is best to shift into P (Park) gear, which is both environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient. 2. During acceleration from a standstill, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal all the way down. This only increases engine RPM, causing unnecessary engine noise and transmission wear, leading to fuel wastage. The correct approach is to gently press the accelerator pedal and utilize low-speed downshifting to increase torque for acceleration. Gradual and uniform acceleration, followed by further acceleration once speed is built up, provides a smoother driving experience for automatic transmission vehicles. 3. Skillfully utilize coasting. Coasting does not mean shifting into neutral but rather releasing the accelerator pedal to allow the vehicle to glide using its own momentum. 4. Regular maintenance is crucial. Frequently check the various fluids in the engine compartment, especially the automatic transmission fluid unique to automatic vehicles. Dirty transmission fluid increases resistance, thereby increasing fuel consumption.

What to Do When Your Car Stalls in Heavy Rain?

Here are the solutions for a car stalling in heavy rain: 1. Dry and Restart: If the system is damp or short-circuited, it is generally not a serious issue. Wait for the circuits to dry or use a hairdryer to dry them before restarting. In severe cases, replace the fuse. 2. Check Exhaust and Air Intake: If you confirm that water has entered the exhaust or air intake, the car must be towed to a repair shop for inspection. Do not attempt to force-start the car, as this could cause greater damage due to ineffective engine lubrication. 3. Assess Water Depth: If your vehicle is in a situation where it must drive through water, first assess the water depth to ensure it hasn't submerged the air intake pipe, etc. If you must proceed, shift to a lower gear and maintain steady throttle pressure. Do not release the throttle, as stalling could cause water to flow back, resulting in damage.
