For the 2 Series Touring, generally four liters of engine oil is sufficient. Introduction to Engine Oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine oil), serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, provide sealing to prevent leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber for the engine. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of the car. Composition of Engine Oil: Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties. Additives are used to compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, as well as to impart new characteristics, making them an essential part of the lubricant.

What does it mean when a car's warning light comes on?

Here are the possible reasons for a car's warning light to illuminate: 1. Insufficient engine oil: The engine cannot establish sufficient oil pressure, with the potential danger being inadequate oil supply from the oil pump. This prevents the oil from fully covering the engine's inner walls and forming a protective film to prevent wear. 2. Insufficient oil pump pressure: This is a hardware failure, meaning the oil pump is malfunctioning, damaged, or seized. It cannot deliver oil to other parts of the engine. If this is the cause, the vehicle should be stopped as soon as possible to prevent the engine from operating without oil lubrication, leading to dry friction. This helps avoid engine overheating, quenching, or even severe damage like connecting rod seizure. 3. Coolant temperature or level warning light: The coolant level in the engine should not decrease since the engine's cooling system is essentially sealed. In this case, it can be directly inferred that there is an issue with the cooling system.

Are Fuel Additives Really Effective?

Fuel additives are effective. Below are the functions of fuel additives: 1. Remove carbon deposits and clean the fuel system: The cleaning and activating factors in the new generation of fuel additives can promote the removal of harmful substances such as gum deposits in the fuel and engine carbon deposits. After adding fuel additives five times consecutively, the carbon deposits on the exhaust pipe are significantly reduced, and the filter, exhaust valve, fuel system, etc., are all very clean. 2. Enhance power performance: The nano-components in the new generation of fuel additives can adsorb and wrap gum deposits, generating gaseous "micro-explosions" in the combustion chamber under high temperatures, causing secondary atomization of the fuel and promoting complete combustion, thereby improving engine power. Over 90% of vehicles experience a noticeable increase in power after the first use of fuel additives. This is particularly evident when the vehicle is underpowered, old, carrying heavy loads, or on long trips.

What are the regulations for the 6-year exemption from inspection for passenger cars?

Detailed regulations for the 6-year exemption from inspection of motor vehicles: The exemption from inspection for non-operational passenger cars and other vehicles within 6 years means that the vehicles are exempt from on-site inspection, but the owner still needs to apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office, motor vehicle registration service station, or traffic police squadron within the specified period and affix it to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield. Below is an introduction to the annual inspection: 1. Time: The new regulations have been implemented since September 1, 2014. Eligible vehicles can enjoy the exemption from on-site annual inspection, and newly registered small passenger vehicles are exempt from on-site inspection for 6 years. Please verify the vehicle type, registration date, and annual inspection deadline printed on the vehicle's driving license. 2. After handling traffic violations and accidents: After handling traffic violations and accidents, you can directly apply to the public security traffic management department for the inspection mark, provided that the vehicle has not been involved in any traffic accidents causing casualties. After 6 years, on-site annual inspection is required.

What is the typical fuel consumption for a sedan?

Generally, for models with 1.6L-2.0L engines, fuel consumption exceeding 8.5L/100km is considered high, while for models below 1.6L, consumption above 7.5L is deemed high. Below is an introduction to fuel consumption: 1. Constant-speed fuel consumption: This refers to the fuel economy indicator when a car is driving at a constant speed on good road conditions. Since constant-speed driving is a fundamental operating condition for vehicles on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. 2. Road cycle fuel consumption: Road cycle fuel consumption is a fuel economy indicator measured when a car follows specified speed and time protocols for repeated cyclic driving on roads, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. The speed and time protocols stipulate that each cycle includes various driving conditions, along with specified shift timings, braking and stopping times, as well as values for driving speed, acceleration, and braking deceleration within each cycle.

What is the traffic violation code 1301?

Traffic violation code 1301 refers to the code for driving a motor vehicle in the opposite direction. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," driving a motor vehicle in the opposite direction is subject to a fine and a deduction of 3 points, as stipulated in Article 35, first act, and Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China." Below is additional information: Explanation of violation codes: Traffic violation codes consist of four digits, categorized according to the principles in the traffic law. The sequence from left to right is as follows: the first digit is the behavior classification code, indicating the category in the Road Traffic Law; the second digit is the point deduction classification code, indicating the category of points deducted for the traffic violation; the third and fourth digits are sequential codes, indicating the order of the behavior within the same behavior classification. For example: 1303. "1" indicates motor vehicle behavior, the second digit "3" indicates a deduction of 3 points, and the following "03" indicates the third behavior in the category of 3-point deductions.

Why was the GTR discontinued in China?

The reason for the discontinuation is the implementation of the China VI emission standards, as the currently sold GTR can no longer meet China's emission requirements. Additional information about the GTR is as follows: 1. Performance: The 2014 GT-R still uses the 3.8T V6 engine from the current model, with slightly improved power parameters. The maximum power output is 553 horsepower, an increase of 13 horsepower compared to the current model, and the peak torque remains at 628N·m. The most significant change compared to the current GT-R is the 0-100km/h acceleration time, which has been reduced by 0.1 seconds to 2.7 seconds. 2. New Model Information: The 2014 GT-R has minimal changes, retaining most of the design elements from the current model, with only minor modifications to the wheel rim style and front face details. According to previous reports, Nissan officials stated that with each new GT-R model, they would ensure improvements in power performance.
