For a Citroen C4L transmission oil change, the amount of lubricant required varies depending on the oil change method. Gravity oil change requires 3 to 4 liters, while circulation oil change requires 8 to 10 liters. The circulation oil change method is as follows: Circulation machine oil change is performed while the car is running, using special equipment to change the oil instead of lifting the car. This method keeps the oil flowing inside the transmission, flushing out sludge and impurities deposited at the bottom of the transmission, making the interior of the transmission cleaner. The gravity oil change method is as follows: Gravity oil change is performed when the car is turned off. In this method, the car is lifted, and the transmission oil naturally flows out with the help of gravity. This is the most common oil change method, but its effectiveness is not as good as the circulation machine method. The main function of transmission oil is to keep the shifting system clean and to lubricate and extend the life of the transmission components. Due to different transmission designs, transmissions are divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions (which are further divided into CVT, AMT, etc.). Each transmission design has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different car models will have differences in torque, weight, speed, structure, etc. Therefore, the original manufacturer has its own specified dedicated transmission oil.

Is a fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km high?

A fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km is not high. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: Choose higher quality gasoline: Higher quality gasoline is more likely to completely burn all substances during combustion, resulting in smaller carbon deposits. Lower quality gasoline may leave some substances unburned, leading to larger carbon deposits, which can affect the car's performance over time. Pay attention to changes in car tires: After prolonged driving, the surface of car tires can become smoother, reducing grip with the ground and requiring more power. More power comes from more fuel, leading to unnecessary fuel consumption. Therefore, timely replacement and maintenance of tires is also a way to save fuel.

Will using private gasoline harm the engine?

Using private gasoline can be harmful to the engine. It is essential to choose properly regulated private gas stations, as the source of the fuel must be registered, and all purchase, sales, and inventory records must be archived for inspection. Most private gas stations source their gasoline from nearby refineries. The main reasons are as follows: Low purity: High impurity content can easily lead to carbon deposits and cannot maintain engine cleanliness. This can also result in insufficient vehicle power. Non-compliant octane rating: Whether the gasoline's octane rating meets standard requirements. The octane rating reflects the fuel's anti-knock properties, primarily determined by the proportion of isooctane. If the standard proportion is not met, the anti-knock performance decreases, leading to engine knocking during operation. Frequent knocking can damage the engine.

Which is better, 94V or 94W tires?

The differences between 94V and 94W tires are as follows: Different speed ratings: Speed rating V indicates a maximum tire speed of 240 km/h, while speed rating W indicates a maximum tire speed of 270 km/h. This means the speed rating W is higher than V, implying that W's performance is superior to V. Different prices: Since 94W tires are better than 94V, the price of 94W is also higher than that of 94V. Users should choose tires based on their vehicle's specifications. Tires with different speed ratings also have different applicable ranges: Q-T rated (maximum speed 160-190 km/h) are suitable for small and compact cars, U-V rated (maximum speed 200-240 km/h) are suitable for mid-to-high-end cars, and W-Z rated (maximum speed 240-300 km/h) are more commonly used in large luxury cars and supercars.

Can pickup trucks drive in urban areas?

Most cities allow pickup trucks to enter urban areas, but some areas may have time-based traffic restrictions. The following is an introduction to the nationwide deregulation of pickup trucks: Road deregulation: This means maintaining the commercial vehicle attribute of pickup trucks, but allowing them to drive on roads that were previously prohibited. However, they still cannot enjoy the same privileges as passenger vehicles, such as toll-free highways. Vehicle type deregulation: This means classifying pickup trucks as passenger vehicles, although it will still take a considerable amount of time for testing. If officially implemented, pickup trucks will be completely classified as passenger vehicles.

Is it good to install a central control screen in low-end models?

Installing a central control screen in low-end models is beneficial. It not only displays driving information and enhances the vehicle's human-machine interaction system but also provides real-time updated navigation functions, offering precise driving routes. However, aftermarket central control screens may not match as well as factory-installed ones, potentially appearing visually abrupt or inconsistent. Below is an introduction to central control screens: Display Screen: The central console LCD screen is an LCD display located in the middle of the dashboard. It can show basic information such as time, temperature, date, and audio. Multifunctional: It serves as the information display device for the multimedia control system, including electronic navigation systems and reverse assistance system screens. It can also function as a display for in-car TVs and DVDs.

What are the pros and cons of ECU remapping?

The pros and cons of ECU remapping are as follows: Pros of ECU remapping: Significant improvement in power output. For naturally aspirated models, there will be a 5%~10% increase, while turbocharged models can see up to a 30% improvement, which is very noticeable for turbocharged engines. Cons of ECU remapping: Higher fuel quality requirements. Originally, 92-octane gasoline may have been sufficient, but after ECU remapping, 95-octane gasoline is required, and fuel consumption may also become abnormally high. Higher engine temperature requirements. Since the engine operates in an overclocked state after ECU remapping, the original cooling system may no longer meet the engine's heat dissipation needs, leading to potentially fatal damage from overheating.
