It is normal to replace a car battery every 3 to 5 years. Here is more information: Signs for Car Battery Replacement: Check the internal resistance and voltage of the battery. If both the internal resistance and voltage fail to meet the specified values, it indicates that the battery needs replacement. If the voltage drops below 10V during discharge, it may suggest that the battery has broken cells and must be replaced. The lower the voltage under load, the greater the internal resistance of the battery, indicating poorer discharge characteristics. Types of Car Batteries: Car batteries are categorized into conventional batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy.

Should Lexus ES Use 92 or 95 Octane Gasoline?

Lexus ES manufacturer recommends using fuel with an octane rating of 92 or above, so 92 octane fuel is sufficient. How to choose gasoline octane rating: In fact, higher octane rating doesn't necessarily mean stronger vehicle power or lower fuel consumption. The manufacturer's recommended fuel octane rating can be found on the inner side of the fuel tank cap and on the nameplate below the vehicle's B-pillar (under the front passenger seat). As long as you follow the manufacturer's recommended fuel octane rating, there will be no issues. Gasoline octane rating: It represents the ratio of the actual gasoline's anti-knock performance to that of standard gasoline. The higher the octane rating, the stronger the anti-knock performance. Standard gasoline consists of isooctane and n-heptane. Higher octane rating isn't always better; you should choose the appropriate gasoline octane rating based on the engine's compression ratio.

What is the maximum wading depth of the Audi Q7?

The maximum wading depth of the Audi Q7 is 600mm. The wading depth of the Audi Q7 is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when driving through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Audi Q7 is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth must not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before the vehicle enters the water, the auto start-stop function must be turned off to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in the water, which could cause severe damage due to water ingress. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of vehicles ahead and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, and reference points such as the wheels and doors of other vehicles to judge the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Understand your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the height of the tires or the engine's air intake, do not proceed and choose an alternative route instead.
