The BMW 118i three-cylinder engine requires 4 liters of engine oil. Engine oil plays a crucial role in lubrication, cleaning, sealing, buffering, rust prevention, and heat dissipation within the engine. Without engine oil, the engine cannot operate. Over time, the performance of engine oil degrades, necessitating regular replacement. During each oil change, the oil filter should also be replaced. The BMW 118i is a performance sports car produced by BMW, equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine featuring BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. This includes a twin-scroll single turbocharger, high-precision direct injection system, VALVETRONIC electronic valve control, and Double VANOS dual variable camshaft timing system. It delivers a maximum power of 125 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.

What lights should be turned on in foggy weather?

In foggy weather, you should turn on the fog lights, hazard warning flashers, and low beam headlights simultaneously. The rear fog light is a red signal light installed at the rear of the vehicle to make it easier for other road users behind to spot the vehicle in low visibility conditions such as fog, snow, rain, or dust. It emits a higher light intensity than the tail lights. Details are as follows: 1. Some older vehicles automatically turn on the fog lights when the low beams are activated, so there is no option to choose low beams separately. 2. Traffic regulations clearly state: when driving in foggy conditions, fog lights, hazard warning flashers, and low beam headlights must all be turned on simultaneously. Low beam headlights, along with clearance lights and rear position lights, are required to be turned on in conditions like fog, rain, snow, dust storms, or hail.

What happens when you mix 95 and 98 gasoline?

Mixing 95 and 98 gasoline can result in reduced acceleration performance. The differences between 98 and 95 gasoline are as follows: Different composition: 98-octane gasoline is composed of 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. The main difference lies in the purity of isooctane. The higher the purity of isooctane, the stronger the gasoline's anti-knock performance, and consequently, the higher the price. Different stability: Both 98-octane and 95-octane gasoline have excellent stability, but 98-octane gasoline is more prone to combustion and has superior stability. The octane rating of 98-octane gasoline is 98%, while that of 95-octane gasoline is 95%.
