For most household cars, changing the oil typically requires about 3.5-5.0 liters, while for high-displacement models like 6-cylinder engines, more oil is needed. Common barrel oil volumes are roughly divided into: 1 liter, 4 liters, 5 liters, etc. At the tip of the oil dipstick, there is a small section with markings different from other parts. The optimal oil level should be maintained between these two markings. Additional Information: Excessive oil can seep into the combustion chamber through the gap between the cylinder and piston, forming carbon deposits. Carbon deposits increase the engine's compression ratio, raising the likelihood of knocking. Insufficient oil can easily lead to engine overheating issues, and in severe cases, the engine may be completely damaged.

Can a Bulging Tire Be Repaired?

Tire bulging is recommended to be replaced directly, and repair is not advised. The following methods can help avoid tire bulging and extend tire service life: 1. Have tires installed at a professional tire shop to ensure the use of professional installation procedures and equipment. Improper installation may cause tire damage leading to bulging. 2. Try to avoid driving for long periods on poor road conditions. If unavoidable, reduce speed as much as possible. 3. Develop good tire maintenance habits. Regularly inspect tires for cracks, scratches, bulges, or excessive tread wear, as these can pose safety hazards. 4. In addition to regular inspections, maintain proper tire pressure, pay attention to tire warranty periods, and ensure the use of 'healthy' tires for driving.

How to Distinguish Between China IV and China V Vehicles?

You can check the emission standard on the original or duplicate of the environmental inspection compliance label. Alternatively, you can visit the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Website and enter the vehicle model and engine model in the new vehicle compliance query system to check. Below is an introduction to the emission standards: 1. China IV and China V are tailpipe emission standards. Each upgrade from China I to China IV reduces single-vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. 2. According to the national plan, the China VI emission standard will be implemented on July 1, 2020, just three years after the full implementation of the China V standard. 3. The China VI standard raises the threshold by nearly 50% compared to the current China V standard and is slightly stricter than the current international most stringent emission limit—the Euro VI standard. This means that once the China VI standard is officially implemented, it will become the world's strictest motor vehicle emission standard.

Are There Subsidies for Plug-in Hybrids?

Purchasing plug-in hybrid vehicles comes with certain subsidies. The 2021 subsidy policy for oil-electric hybrids is as follows: 1. According to the Ministry of Finance's 2021 new energy vehicle subsidy notice, plug-in hybrid vehicles with a pure electric range below 50 kilometers are not eligible for subsidies, while those with a range exceeding 50 kilometers qualify. 2. Apart from hybrid models, pure electric vehicles with a range under 300 kilometers receive no subsidies; those with ranges between 300-400 kilometers and over 400 kilometers are subsidized. 3. This indicates that conventional oil-electric hybrid models no longer receive subsidies, and subsidies for other new energy vehicle types are showing a downward trend. Reports suggest that subsidies for new energy vehicles will gradually decrease in the coming years and may be completely phased out in two to three years, signaling the arrival of the pure electric era. 4. Currently, only three types of vehicles enjoy national policy support: pure electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, and range-extended electric vehicles. With increasing environmental pollution and stricter national environmental requirements, new energy vehicles are set to become the mainstay of the automotive market in the future.

How to Drive a New Energy Vehicle?

New energy vehicle driving steps are as follows: 1. Start the vehicle: Turn the key to the "ON" position, all dashboard background lights will illuminate, and low-voltage power is connected. Then turn the key to the "Start" position. You will hear a "beep" sound and two "click" sounds from the relay closure in the battery pack, indicating high-voltage power is connected. The dashboard will display a "READY" green light, meaning the vehicle is ready to drive. Note: For vehicles like Tesla that don't use conventional key ignition, simply press the brake lightly to power on and start the vehicle, then shift gears to drive. Tesla doesn't have a dedicated "handbrake" - shifting to "P" acts as engaging the handbrake. 2. Release the handbrake and move the gear selector to "D" position. Gently press the electronic accelerator pedal with your right foot to start moving. 3. For braking, press the brake pedal with your right foot. 4. To accelerate, apply steady pressure with your right foot to gradually press the electronic accelerator pedal. To maintain constant speed, keep the accelerator pedal at a fixed position. 5. For reversing, first shift to "N" and wait until the vehicle completely stops, then shift to "R" to engage reverse gear.

How to Deal with Frost on the Car Windshield?

In winter, frost and ice formation on car windshields are extremely common, mainly caused by the significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. Therefore, opening the car doors for a few minutes before parking at night, allowing the interior temperature to equalize with the outside, can reduce or even prevent the formation of frost and ice on the windshield in the morning, which is difficult to remove. If frost has already formed on the windshield, follow these steps: 1. Turn on the external circulation to heat the glass; 2. Pour a cup of hot water to wipe the frosted area; 3. Cover the windshield with a newspaper after parking at night; 4. Activate the air conditioner's defrost mode; 5. Clean the glass with dishwashing liquid; 6. Remove the interior heat before parking at night.

How Long Is the Warranty Period for the Transmission?

The warranty period for an automotive transmission is generally no less than 40,000 kilometers or two years. Below are detailed explanations regarding the warranty period for automotive transmissions: 1. Currently, our country mandates that manufacturers provide a warranty for the engine of no less than 40,000 kilometers or two years. Most vehicles now offer an engine warranty that meets or exceeds this minimum national requirement. 2. The repair warranty period for household automotive products is no less than 3 years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first; the three-guarantee validity period for household automotive products is no less than 2 years or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. The repair warranty period and three-guarantee validity period for household automotive products are calculated from the date the seller issues the purchase invoice. 3. Within 60 days from the date the seller issues the purchase invoice or within 3,000 kilometers (whichever comes first), if major components of the engine or transmission exhibit quality issues, consumers may opt for a free replacement of the engine or transmission.
