Castrol Edge is a fully synthetic engine oil, and fully synthetic oil can be changed every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. Here are some details about oil change intervals: 1. New cars: Under normal driving conditions, if synthetic oil is used, the oil in a new car can generally be changed every 10,000 kilometers, and some can even go up to 20,000 kilometers. Automotive maintenance professionals consider "normal driving" to mean frequent highway driving with minimal stopping and starting. However, if you often drive in the city, encountering traffic lights everywhere, frequent traffic jams, and most trips are no more than a dozen kilometers, this type of driving is considered "severe driving." 2. Importance: Engine oil is to a car what blood is to the human body, and the engine is the heart of the car. During engine operation, piston movement generates friction, and gasoline combustion in the cylinders can raise temperatures inside the engine to as high as 600°C, also producing metal particles and other waste materials from friction.

Does the 6-year exemption from inspection include the sixth year?

6-year exemption from inspection includes the sixth year. The 6-year exemption does not mean no inspection is required for 6 years, but rather that the vehicle does not need to go through the inspection line. For new vehicles, the inspection decal is replaced every two years during the first 6 years. The sixth year is part of this period, requiring a decal replacement but no inspection line process. Vehicles eligible for the 6-year exemption policy include: 1. Vehicle types: Non-commercial large, compact, and mini cars; non-commercial compact and mini passenger vehicles, excluding police, fire, ambulance, engineering rescue, converted from commercial to non-commercial, converted from taxi to non-commercial, two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles. Vehicles with 7 seats or more are also ineligible for the exemption policy; 2. Any vehicle that has been involved in a traffic accident resulting in casualties cannot enjoy the exemption policy.

Where is the seat ventilation/heating switch for the Touareg?

The seat ventilation/heating switch button for the Touareg is located in the center of the center console. Press it to activate the ventilation mode, and you can also adjust the seat temperature. Here is an extended introduction: 1. Configuration: The new car is equipped with a multimedia information display that uses the App-Connect smartphone integration platform, supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The new car will also feature adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, blind spot monitoring, collision warning, heated steering wheel, front seat heating/ventilation, and a panoramic sunroof. 2. Introduction to seat ventilation: Seat ventilation works by adding fans to the back of the seat cushion and backrest foam. The fans draw in air and direct it to the ventilation layer, where the airflow then permeates upward through the heating pad to the surface of the seat cover (which is made of perforated leather). This allows passengers to use the ventilation function to dissipate sweat from their hips and back in hot weather, providing comfort.

What are the differences between the Tiguan L and Audi Q5?

The differences between the Tiguan L and Audi Q5 are as follows: 1. Engine: Both the Audi Q5L and Tiguan L use the Volkswagen EA888 series 2.0T engine, but the engine in the Audi Q5L is more advanced. The Audi Q5L is equipped with the EA888-DKW engine, which has a maximum torque of 370Nm, making it the most powerful engine in the Volkswagen EA888 series, with performance tuned to its optimal state. In contrast, the Volkswagen 2.0T engine uses the commonly referred to EA888-DKX engine, whose parameters are slightly lower than those of the Audi Q5L. 2. Vehicle Space: The Audi Q5L is comparable to a mid-to-large SUV, with dimensions of 4765*1893*1659mm and a wheelbase of 2908mm. On the other hand, the Volkswagen Tiguan L has dimensions of only 4716*1859*1677mm and a wheelbase of 2791mm.

What Do the Parameters on a Tire Represent?

The parameters on a tire represent: production date and tire specifications. Taking a tire model 185/60R17 89H as an example, the parameters respectively represent: 185 indicates the tread width is 185mm; 60 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%; R indicates the tire has a radial structure; 17 indicates the rim diameter is 17 inches; 89 indicates the load index; H indicates the speed rating. Automobile tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface and working together with the vehicle suspension to mitigate the impacts encountered during driving. They ensure good ride comfort and smooth driving, maintain excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improve the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bear the weight of the vehicle. During the use of tires, tire pressure is a very important indicator. It is essential to ensure that the tire pressure matches the manufacturer's recommended pressure. Otherwise, whether the tire pressure is too high or too low, it will significantly damage the tire's lifespan. If the tire pressure is too high, the tread pattern in the center of the tire will wear more severely than the patterns on the sides. Moreover, when the tire pressure is too high, the contact area between the tire and the ground is reduced. When the vehicle accelerates, the part of the tire that leaves the ground and then returns to the ground will deform due to the acceleration, resulting in a wave-like phenomenon. This not only increases tire resistance, affecting the vehicle's acceleration performance, but also causes steering wheel vibration and deviation.

What does a range-extended electric vehicle mean?

Range-extended electric vehicles refer to vehicles directly driven by electric motors, where the engine does not participate in driving and lacks mechanical devices such as clutches or transmissions. When the battery power is insufficient, the engine is used to generate electricity to charge the battery, operating within the optimal speed range, and the battery then provides energy to the motor that directly drives the vehicle. Advantages of range-extended electric vehicles: 1. They can operate in pure electric mode, requiring a smaller battery capacity, eliminating the risk of running out of power and breaking down; 2. The battery charging power is low, eliminating the need for large-scale charging infrastructure; 3. They can operate in plug-in hybrid mode, further improving fuel efficiency beyond traditional hybrid vehicles; 4. They have a simple structure, direct motor drive, and are easy to maintain and industrialize.

What is the difference between maintenance at a 4S shop and outside maintenance?

The differences between maintenance at a 4S shop and outside maintenance: 1. Different risks: Maintenance at a 4S shop has lower risks and is guaranteed; outside maintenance carries higher risks and lacks guarantees. 2. Different efficiency: Maintenance at a 4S shop is less efficient, but the technology and car parts are genuine; outside maintenance is more efficient, but the parts are not original. Car owners can freely choose where to maintain their vehicles. If the quality issues of the car are not causally related to the maintenance, or if the maintenance at another car 4S shop did not cause damage, the operator cannot be exempted from the three-guarantee responsibility. However, in practice, there are still certain risks.
