The amount of engine oil added affects engine operation, thereby impacting the normal functioning of the vehicle. For example, when performing maintenance on a BMW X1 with a three-cylinder engine, approximately 4 liters of engine oil should be added. Both excessive and insufficient amounts of engine oil can have certain effects on the engine. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal and prevent leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption and cushioning for the engine. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of the car. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing certain new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil.

What Components Make Up a Car's Transmission System?

A car's transmission system consists of the gearbox, differential, drive shaft, and engine configuration. Below is a detailed introduction to the transmission system and its functions: Gearbox: Includes manual transmission and automatic transmission. Differential: A device that resolves the issue of different rotation speeds between the left and right wheels. Drive Shaft: The mechanism that transfers power from the gearbox to the differential, thereby generating driving force. Engine Configuration: Includes front-engine front-wheel drive, front-engine rear-wheel drive, and mid-engine rear-wheel drive. Functions of the Car Transmission System: Transmits the power generated by the engine to the car's driving wheels, creating driving force that enables the car to move at a certain speed.

How to Properly Prevent Car Theft?

First, choose a good parking lot. Generally speaking, temporary roadside paid parking spots have a higher risk factor, while paid parking lots usually employ enclosed management with higher security. Consider the parking lot's location and park near a security booth or under surveillance cameras. If there is an underground parking garage, it's advisable to park inside as these typically have surveillance cameras and restrict unauthorized entry. When parking, remove valuables from the car, ensure the doors are properly locked, and most importantly, do not leave access cards inside the vehicle. Additionally, an unexpected anti-theft technique involves making the steering wheel immobile—simply remove the key and turn the steering wheel slightly to engage this feature. If an anti-theft system is installed, unlocking the steering wheel in an emergency will take significantly longer. Another effective method is purchasing modern vehicle asset theft protection services.

What is an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle?

An Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) refers to an electric vehicle that, based on a pure electric vehicle, adds an internal combustion engine to charge the power battery or directly drive the motor to extend the driving range, thereby overcoming the short driving range of pure electric vehicles. Advantages of Extended-Range Electric Vehicles: The advantages of extended-range electric vehicles include being eligible for green license plates, providing a good power experience at medium and low speeds, relatively lower fuel consumption compared to conventional fuel vehicles, and no range anxiety. Disadvantages of Extended-Range Electric Vehicles: The disadvantages lie in the inequality between charging efficiency and power output demand. Currently, the maximum speed of high-voltage DC fast charging is 80 kWh, while the power generation efficiency of the range extender usually does not exceed 40 kWh, with most staying within 30 kWh. However, the energy required for initial acceleration often exceeds 30 kWh, and during high-speed overtaking, even 80 kWh may not be sufficient.

What are the disadvantages of range-extended electric vehicles?

1. Power wastage. Since the engine and generator do not directly drive the wheels, this part of the power is wasted, while the weight brought by the engine and generator is not reduced. For example: a range-extended plug-in hybrid vehicle has an engine power of 50KW, a generator power of 50KW, and a motor power of 100KW. The vehicle carries a total power of 200KW from the engine and motor, but the power that can drive the wheels is only 100KW. 2. Higher fuel consumption under highway conditions. This is because under highway conditions, if the engine directly drives the wheels, it can always operate in the optimal working mode. However, the range-extended plug-in hybrid has an additional conversion process, and the conversion itself consumes energy, resulting in higher fuel consumption.
