BMW X1 requires approximately 5 liters of engine oil. For specific details, please refer to the BMW X1's factory user manual or visit a repair shop or 4S store to have professionals add it for you. Engine oil is the lubricant used by the engine, composed of base oil and additives, which serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. The BMW X1 is a compact SUV under the BMW brand, featuring a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. Its body dimensions are 4565mm in length, 1821mm in width, and 1620mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2780mm.

What insurance is required for a car?

Car insurance that needs to be purchased includes: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance (CTPLI): This is mandatory by national regulations, and without it, the vehicle cannot legally operate on the road; 2. No Deductible Insurance: This is an additional coverage attached to other commercial insurance policies. If the owner does not purchase this, they may have to bear the deductible portion themselves; 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This mainly protects your own vehicle and should be purchased based on the value of your car; 4. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This covers damages to others. After an accident, the CTPLI is used first for compensation, and any amount exceeding the CTPLI limit is covered by the Third-Party Liability Insurance; 5. Scratch Insurance: It is advisable for new cars to purchase scratch insurance, especially for new drivers who may inevitably experience minor collisions, providing better protection.

What is the Difference Between a Subcompact Car and a Compact Car?

Subcompact cars and compact cars differ in the following aspects: 1. Body Size: Subcompact cars have a body length ranging from 2350mm to 2500mm, while compact cars measure between 2500mm and 2700mm. 2. Engine Displacement: Subcompact cars typically have an engine displacement of 1.0 to 1.3 liters, whereas compact cars generally feature engines with displacements from 1.6 to 2.0 liters. 3. Suitability: Subcompact cars are ideal for individuals or couples, offering fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness. Compact cars, often hatchbacks, are more suited for family use. Subcompact cars usually have very low fuel consumption and a small size, providing more comfortable and spacious interiors compared to microcars. Within the A-segment category, besides microcars and subcompact cars, compact cars also fall under the A-segment classification.

Information about Subject 4 is as follows: Subject 4 (Subject 3 Safety and Civilization Test): also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. Retake instructions: If Subject 4 is not passed, there is no need to retake the previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). You can schedule a retake on your own, and no retake fee is required. Currently, there are no scheduling restrictions for the safety and civilized driving theory test, but the validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. If the applicant fails to complete the test within the validity period, the passed subject scores will be invalidated.

What Causes a Car to Fishtail?

The reason a car fishtails is that the rear wheels lock up before the front wheels. When the wheels lock, braking force is reduced, and the friction between the rear wheels and the road surface decreases. This creates a torque relative to a certain point, leading to fishtailing. If the rear wheels completely lose braking force and the center of gravity is on the left-right symmetry plane, with balanced braking forces relative to the symmetrical composite point, fishtailing should not occur. Fishtailing is a common issue in rear-wheel-drive vehicles and often leads to various traffic accidents, especially when driving in rain, snow, gravel, or on slippery roads. In such conditions, it is essential to slow down and drive cautiously to avoid fishtailing. If a car skids sideways during braking while driving, the driver should immediately stop braking, reduce fuel supply, and turn the steering wheel toward the side of the skid. When adjusting the brakes, ensure that the front and rear wheels lock up simultaneously or that the front wheels lock slightly earlier. There should be no noticeable deviation during braking.

Should a Slightly Blown Cylinder Head Gasket Be Replaced?

A slightly blown cylinder head gasket should be replaced. Because after the cylinder head gasket is blown, it is very likely that water will enter the engine oil, indicating that the gasket has failed. This requires immediate replacement, otherwise excessive temperature may cause cylinder scoring and lead to severe engine damage. The symptoms of a blown cylinder head gasket are: 1. Decreased engine power, resulting in poor vehicle performance; 2. Abnormal high engine temperature and poor operation; 3. Reduced coolant level, presence of engine oil in the coolant, or water in the engine oil. More information about cylinder head gasket failure is as follows: 1. Cylinder head gasket failure refers to an impact-type fault occurring between the engine's piston and the cylinder liner. 2. Engine cylinder head gasket failure can simply be understood as an impact-type fault occurring between the piston and the cylinder liner or the gasket. Common gasket erosion is caused by high-temperature, high-pressure gas impacting the gasket, burning the sealing edges, protective rings, and asbestos board, leading to cylinder leakage and mixing of lubricating oil and coolant.
