If the vehicle cannot display the engine oil level, the percentage shown refers to the oil life, which is calculated based on the preset mileage, time, and actual driving distance and duration. This percentage can be adjusted. Generally, maintenance is recommended when it drops below around 10%. Additionally, following the oil life indicator for maintenance is usually sufficient. Here are the benefits of regular car maintenance: 1. Ensures the vehicle operates in optimal condition. 2. Improves vehicle efficiency and reduces wear on parts and tires. 3. Enhances driving safety. 4. Prevents potential hazards caused by vehicle malfunctions. 5. Reduces noise and environmental pollution. 6. Maintains the vehicle's appearance and prevents damage.

Is the Excelle a front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive car?

The Excelle is a front-wheel drive car. Front-wheel drive, also known as FWD, refers to the power distribution method in automotive design where the engine only drives the front pair of wheels. Most sedans adopt a front-wheel drive configuration. Front-wheel drive in the Excelle reduces vehicle weight: The car is front-wheel drive, meaning the engine is positioned at the front of the vehicle, and the front wheels drive the entire car. This effectively eliminates the need for a driveshaft, helping to reduce the vehicle's weight. Enhances passenger comfort: This design efficiently utilizes the space in the engine compartment, and the interior space of the cabin is also more spacious. It further helps to lower the floor height, improving comfort for both the driver and passengers. Good fuel economy: The engine's proximity to the drive wheels results in high power transmission efficiency and good fuel economy.

What is SUV Tire Pressure?

According to the provisions and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the tire pressure for different SUV tires is as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5bar. Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Normal tire pressure in winter: In winter, the tire pressure should be based on the standard tire pressure of the car tire, with an appropriate increase of about 0.2bar. Normal tire pressure in summer: Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure for car tires is sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures.

Is it necessary to replace the valve cover on a BMW?

It is necessary to replace the valve cover on a BMW. If the valve cover of a BMW car shows signs of oil leakage, it must be replaced immediately. Precautions for replacing the valve cover: Clean the contact surface thoroughly: When replacing, first completely clean the contact surface of the valve cover. Then, apply sealant based on the owner's preference. Replace after the engine cools down: When replacing, the car engine must be completely cooled before the valve cover can be replaced. Tighten the valve cover multiple times during installation: When installing the valve cover, tighten it diagonally in multiple passes. After securing one screw, secure the screw on the opposite diagonal. This prevents uneven stress on the valve cover gasket. If the valve cover is leaking oil, it must be replaced promptly. Within the warranty period, the valve cover can be replaced free of charge.

Can Gear Oil Be Used as a Substitute for Engine Oil?

Gear oil cannot be used as a substitute for engine oil, as it can cause various malfunctions in the combustion chamber. When gear oil is used in place of engine oil and mixes with fuel gasoline to enter the combustion chamber, the fuel evaporates and burns, while some of the gear oil is also burned along with the fuel. If gear oil is used instead of engine oil, its higher viscosity and different composition compared to specialized engine oil can lead to the formation of deposits in the combustion chamber, resulting in issues such as spark plug carbon buildup, bridging, and failure to ignite. Additionally, the extreme pressure properties of gear oil can cause corrosive wear. Automotive gear oil is designed for use in gear transmission components such as transmissions, steering gears, and differentials, where it serves a lubricating function. It helps reduce wear on gears and other moving parts, extending their lifespan; decreases friction, minimizing power loss; and disperses heat, providing a certain cooling effect while preventing corrosion and rust. It also reduces operational noise, mitigates vibration and impact between gears, and helps flush away contaminants, particularly those on gear surfaces, thereby reducing wear.
