BMW 5 Series requires 4 liters of engine oil. If too much engine oil is added to the BMW 5 Series, it will increase the amount of oil splashed onto the cylinder walls by the rotating crankshaft and connecting rods, significantly increasing the amount of oil entering the combustion chamber. This leads to more carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, increases the resistance to piston movement, and reduces engine power. As more oil enters the combustion chamber, exhaust emissions worsen, affecting the lifespan of the three-way catalytic converter, and in severe cases, may damage it. The BMW 5 Series has dimensions of 5106mm in length, 1868mm in width, and 1500mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3105mm, and the engine model is B48B20C.

What does 'maximum' mean on tires?

Maximum tires are produced by the Giti brand, which supplies tires for vehicles such as General Motors, Volkswagen, Peugeot Citroën, Fiat, and Volvo. Below is additional information: 1. Brand Portfolio: Giti Tire owns multiple brands including Giti, GT, Duntlop, Hualin, Greatwall, Roadking, Silverstone, and Runway, catering to different market segments with a comprehensive and high-quality product lineup. This meets the needs of various vehicle types such as sedans, SUVs, off-road vehicles, racing cars, light trucks and vans, trucks, buses, construction machinery, and agricultural machinery. 2. Sales: Giti offers a wide range of high-quality tires that are sold in over 100 countries worldwide and have received recognition from both domestic and international automotive manufacturers. Tires are typically composed of three parts: the outer tire, inner tube, and flap. Some tires do not require an inner tube, as they feature an inner layer of highly airtight rubber and must be paired with specialized rims. Globally, tire structures are evolving towards tubeless designs, radial construction, flat profiles, and lightweight materials.

What is No. 30 Engine Oil?

Mechanical oil grades are determined based on their kinematic viscosity at 50°C. The kinematic viscosity of No. 30 mechanical oil at 50°C ranges from 27 to 33 mm²/s, with a pour point of -10°C and a flash point of 180°C. Mechanical oils are categorized into seven grades from 10 to 70, with higher numbers indicating greater viscosity. The SAE lubricant viscosity classification for summer oils includes grades 20, 30, 40, and 50, where higher numbers denote higher viscosity and suitability for higher maximum temperatures. Below are specific details about engine oil: 1. Mineral Oil: Derived from crude oil, mineral oil is typically low-cost but oxidizes more easily due to its mineral base. Various imported additives are included, and its service life is approximately six months. 2. Semi-Synthetic Oil: Although more expensive to refine, it offers excellent oxidation resistance, making it a high-quality long-lasting oil with a service life of about twelve months. Considering the balance between price and quality, semi-synthetic oil has the widest range of applications. 3. Full Synthetic Oil: This is chemically synthesized oil that can maintain lubrication even when the base oil deteriorates.

Is it necessary to purchase insurance for a used car by oneself?

Insurance for a used car is similar to that for a new car. After the vehicle is transferred, the insurance follows the transfer, and the insurance renewal can be processed directly with the insurance company where the policy is held. The original owner usually cancels the commercial insurance but retains the compulsory traffic insurance, as the compulsory insurance cannot be canceled in principle. After cancellation, the new owner can re-insure with any insurance company. Below is additional information: 1. Transfer of used car insurance: The transfer of used car insurance mainly involves two methods—changing the policy details or canceling the existing policy and obtaining a new one. The former involves changing the insured and owner while keeping the insurance content unchanged. The latter involves canceling the original car insurance and paying the premium for the period from the start of the policy to the cancellation date. 2. Reasonable purchase of insurance: One of the reasons buyers choose used cars is to save costs, and the selection of car insurance should follow this principle. When insuring a used car, owners should not blindly purchase insurance but should eliminate coverage that is meaningless for a used car. However, they should not just go for the cheapest option; it should be based on their actual needs—what suits them best.

Can the Tire Date Face Inward?

Typically, tires with an inside and outside orientation have the OUTSIDE mark on the same side as the production date, so the tire production date usually faces outward during installation. For symmetric tread tires, there is no inside or outside distinction, but it is best to place the side with the production date facing outward. For unidirectional tread tires, they should be installed following the direction of the arrow, which indicates the rolling direction of the wheel. Below is additional information: 1. Tires: Tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle, serving several key functions: supporting the entire weight of the vehicle, bearing the load of the car; transmitting traction and braking torque, ensuring adhesion between the wheel and the road; absorbing and reducing vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components; adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reducing driving noise, ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency. 2. Specifications: Tire specifications are often represented by a set of numbers. The first number indicates the tire section width, and the second number indicates the rim diameter, both in inches. The letters or symbols in between have special meanings: tire structure: "R" stands for radial tires, while "D" or "-" stands for bias tires.

What is the fuel consumption of the Honda Accord 2.4?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Accord 2.4L model under mixed driving conditions is mostly between 9~10 liters. Fuel consumption is related to many factors such as driving conditions, driving habits, vehicle maintenance status, and vehicle load. Below is relevant information about the Accord: 1. Powertrain: The GAC Honda Accord (9.5 generation) continues to use two powertrain options - a 2.0L engine + CVT transmission and a 2.4L engine + CVT transmission. Through optimizations to the valves, ignition system, and transmission, better fuel efficiency is achieved. 2. Power: The 2.4L model still adopts the Earth Dreams Technology 2.4L direct-injection engine, with power parameters consistent with the current model. It delivers a maximum power of 137kW (186PS)/6400rpm and a maximum torque of 243N·m at 3900rpm. The 2.4L+CVT powertrain in the Accord has been optimized and includes engine auto start-stop technology for better fuel economy.
