The SAIC Maxus 2.0T engine requires 5L of engine oil, and the recommended oil type is 5W-30. The differences between types of engine oil are as follows: Semi-synthetic oil: Semi-synthetic oil is one type of automotive engine oil. It is formulated using semi-synthetic base oil, specifically international Group III base oil. It is a product refined from mineral oil through hydrocracking technology, consisting of a 4:6 ratio of mineral oil to full synthetic oil. Semi-synthetic oil's purity is very close to that of full synthetic oil, but its cost is slightly higher than mineral oil, making it an ideal transitional product from mineral oil to synthetic oil. Full synthetic oil: Full synthetic oil can operate over a wider temperature range and has a longer service life. For the same oil film requirements, full synthetic oil can achieve the desired performance with lower viscosity, whereas semi-synthetic oil requires a relatively higher viscosity to meet the same requirements. Conventional mineral oil: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting certain new properties. Additives are an important component of lubricating oil.

When I service my Maxus G10 2.0T, 5 liters of engine oil is usually sufficient. The owner's manual clearly states the recommended standard amount is 5.0 liters. I always prepare five 1-liter bottles of high-quality synthetic oil to pour in, whether at the dealership or when changing the oil myself. I remember one time a friend added an extra bottle of oil, which caused the engine to run rough and noisy. We immediately drained the excess, and it ran smoothly again. This reminds me to measure accurately and not to add or reduce oil arbitrarily, as it wastes oil and can damage the engine. I check the oil level every 8,000 kilometers, keeping it at the mid-mark for optimal engine longevity.

Why Is There a Strange Noise in the Engine Compartment When Braking?

Here are three possible reasons for strange noises when braking: Issues with the vehicle's brake fluid: The brake fluid may be insufficient or overdue for replacement. Loose brake fluid lines can cause leakage, leading to strange noises in the engine compartment when braking. This situation requires professional repair at a specialized shop. Sand in the brake discs: Generally, a brand-new car should not produce strange noises when braking. If the car hasn't been driven many kilometers and the brakes start making noise, it is likely due to sand or metal particles getting into the brakes. In this case, stepping on the brakes will produce a sharp sound. This can often be resolved by using a high-pressure water jet during car washing. If that doesn't work, the brakes may need to be disassembled for cleaning. Hard brake pads: Some brand-new cars may produce strange noises when braking, especially when braking lightly. This is usually due to the brake pads being made of harder material. The noise often disappears when braking harder. Generally, this situation can be ignored until the brake pads have worn in after some use.

Which reference point is most accurate for a 90-degree turn?

A 90-degree turn is most accurately executed by aligning the right side of the vehicle 30 centimeters from the edge line. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination and refers to the field driving skills test. For small vehicles (C1/C2), the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, 90-degree turns, and curve driving. Techniques for a 90-degree turn: Activate the turn signal and enter the 90-degree turn area, maintaining a 30 cm distance between the vehicle body and the road edge line. When the inner door handle is parallel to the inner corner of the turn, turn the steering wheel fully to the left or right. Straighten the steering wheel once the vehicle is aligned and smoothly exit the test area.

On Which Pulley Does Belt Slippage Occur First?

Belt slippage first occurs on the smaller pulley. Introduction to the Contact Arc: The contact arc can be divided into two parts: the part with relative sliding (sliding arc) and the part without relative sliding (static arc). The central angles corresponding to these two arcs are called the sliding angle and the static angle, respectively. The static arc is always located at the beginning part where the belt wraps around the driving and driven pulleys, while the sliding arc is located on the part of the contact arc where the belt leaves the driving and driven pulleys. When the belt is not transmitting load, the sliding angle is zero. Elastic Sliding: Elastic sliding only occurs on the sliding arc of the belt. As the load increases, the sliding angle gradually increases, while the static angle gradually decreases. When the sliding angle increases to the wrap angle of the pulley, the limit state is reached, and the effective tension of the belt drive reaches its maximum (critical) value. If the working load continues to increase, significant relative sliding between the belt and the pulley will occur, resulting in slippage. Since the wrap angle on the larger pulley is always greater than that on the smaller pulley, slippage always occurs first on the smaller pulley.

What number to call to have a blocking vehicle moved?

Call 114 to have a blocking vehicle moved. Solutions: If unable to contact the owner, call the auto insurance hotline, 114 or 110. If your car is blocked, check if the owner left a phone number. If available, call the owner directly. If no phone number is displayed, look for the owner's commercial insurance sticker and call the insurance company's service hotline to request they notify the owner to move the vehicle. 114 Hotline: After dialing 114, state you need to locate a vehicle owner. 114 will transfer you to a dedicated hotline. Simply provide the vehicle's color, license plate number, and model. The operator will immediately contact the owner to request vehicle relocation. Alternatively, call 110 or 122.

What is the normal annual mileage for a car?

It is normal for a car to run 20,000 kilometers per year. Introduction to normal mileage: Generally, the normal mileage for a private car is defined as not exceeding 20,000 kilometers per year. This is also an important reference value for used car transactions. In other words, if a car has been used for two years with a mileage of 60,000 kilometers, it theoretically means the car has been driven quite hard. Definition of mileage: The mileage of a car starts counting from zero when it leaves the factory, and there are at least two mileage readings. One is the total mileage, which represents the total distance traveled from the factory to the present. It will always increase regardless of the driving conditions and will never decrease. The other is the trip mileage, which can be reset during the journey. Many car owners use the trip mileage to calculate how far a full tank of fuel can take them.
