The 2018 Magotan 330 requires 6 liters of engine oil. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Below are the key functions of engine oil: 1. Friction reduction: A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of moving parts, thereby minimizing wear. 2. Sealing: Engine oil forms a seal between the piston rings and pistons, reducing gas leakage and preventing contaminants from entering. 3. Rust prevention: The lubricant adheres to part surfaces, protecting them from water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases. 4. Shock absorption: When pressure in the engine cylinder rises sharply, the sudden increase in load on the pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, and crankshaft bearings is mitigated through the lubricating transmission of the bearings, cushioning the impact. 5. Cleaning: High-quality engine oil can carry away carbon deposits, sludge, and metal wear particles from engine components back to the oil pan, cleaning the parts as the oil circulates.

My 2018 Magotan 330 always takes a bit over 5 liters of oil during each maintenance service. The 4S shop technician says this is the standard amount. When changing oil, the old oil must be completely drained, then new oil is slowly added. After filling, the engine needs to run for a few minutes before shutting off, then wait a few more minutes to check the dipstick for accurate reading. Once, overfilling nearly caused issues - the engine sound became muffled and throttle response sluggish, but it returned to normal after removing half a liter. Now I always supervise the oil change to ensure the dipstick shows the middle mark, especially since turbocharged engines are sensitive to oil pressure. The manual states 5.4 liters, but in reality, changing the oil filter consumes about 0.3 liters.

What to Do When Car Windows Fog Up?

Solutions for foggy car windows: 1. Locate the front window defogging mode, set the fan speed to maximum, turn on the AC switch, and adjust the temperature to the lowest setting; 2. Use the car's heater for defogging. If the car has just started, avoid turning on the AC immediately. Wait a few minutes for the engine to warm up and the water temperature to rise, then start heating, set the fan speed to maximum, and activate the front window defogging mode; 3. Adjust the AC temperature to heating, rotate the air direction switch to direct air towards the windows, and the fog will disappear quickly with very noticeable results; 4. Prepare a defogging spray. Before heading out, simply spray it evenly on the surface of the car windows and wipe clean with a dry towel.

What are the effects of speed and gear mismatch on a car?

The effects of speed and gear mismatch on a car: 1. It can easily cause insufficient engine power leading to stalling, or make the engine struggle causing vehicle vibration, so safety should be noted; 2. Over time, it can accelerate wear and tear on mechanical parts, leading to premature damage to the engine and transmission. Theoretically, the more gears the better, but in practice, it also depends on factors such as the engine's power, matching, and the rationality of the transmission's construction. The more gears there are, the larger the transmission becomes. Things to pay attention to regarding speed and gear while driving: aim for smooth gear shifting, shift gears as soon as a certain speed is reached, avoid dragging gears, do not look down while shifting gears, shift gears step by step, and if the wrong gear is engaged, do not panic, just return to the original gear and shift again.

What Does Car Ownership Mean?

Car ownership refers to the number of vehicles owned in a specific region, typically those registered locally. However, car ownership differs from motor vehicle ownership, which includes motorcycles, agricultural vehicles, etc. Below is an expanded introduction: 1. Benefits: High ownership means higher vehicle resale value, slower depreciation, and easier resale. After driving for three to five years, you can find affordable parts at repair shops even after the warranty expires, and maintenance won't be an issue even if dealerships exit the network. 2. Pollution: The rapid increase in cars has led to severe traffic congestion and air pollution. Vehicle emissions have become a major source of pollution in many large cities.

How to Automatically Fold the Rearview Mirrors When Locking the Car?

Methods to automatically fold the rearview mirrors when locking the car: 1. Select the vehicle on the central control panel, then press the left button on the MMI; 2. After entering this interface, choose vehicle settings, then select central locking; 3. Check the "Fold Rearview Mirrors" option, and the mirrors will automatically fold when the car is locked. After the driver locks the car, the rearview mirrors automatically fold, which not only protects the mirror surfaces but also reduces parking space, effectively avoiding scratches. It also prevents some pedestrians, even children, from bumping into the mirrors, which could cause injuries or damage to the mirrors. Rearview mirrors are tools that allow the driver to directly obtain external information about the rear, sides, and lower parts of the car while seated in the driver's seat. For the convenience of the driver and to prevent traffic accidents and ensure personal safety, all countries require cars to be equipped with rearview mirrors, and all mirrors must be adjustable in direction.

Do I need a driver's license to ride an assisted motorcycle?

Riding an assisted motorcycle requires a driver's license. Assisted motorcycles fall under the category of motor vehicles, and it is advisable to obtain a driver's license for them to avoid penalties for unlicensed driving when inspected by public security traffic management departments. Currently, the state has developed various types of motor vehicles, such as electric-assisted vehicles and new energy motor vehicles. Although these vehicles do not use fuel, their higher speeds can pose traffic hazards. A driver's license, officially known as a motor vehicle driving license or simply a license, is a legal document required for operating motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain skills, and lacking these skills can easily lead to traffic accidents. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have mastered safe driving skills, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is the driver's license.

Methods for maintaining new energy vehicles: Battery inspection: The most unique aspect of new energy vehicles is the large battery inside the car, and regular battery inspection is an essential task. If during the use of the battery, the charging time becomes longer or the driving range suddenly decreases, it is necessary to consider whether the battery has developed issues. Avoid over-discharging the battery: When starting, the accelerator should be pressed gently to avoid heavy battery discharge, which could affect the physical performance of the battery plates. If the vehicle is to be parked for an extended period, the battery should be fully charged.
