Shell Helix HX7 should be changed every 7,500 kilometers or every 7-8 months. 1. Shell Helix HX7, as a semi-synthetic engine oil, can be changed every 7,500 kilometers or every 7-8 months. Shell Helix HX7 Plus should be changed every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. 2. HX7 Plus or Shell Helix Ultra Blue, both of which are fully synthetic engine oils, can be changed every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. Additional information is as follows: 1. Fully synthetic engine oil is a high-grade oil product among engine oils. 2. It is derived from ethylene and propylene dispersed from natural gas or crude oil gas, which are then processed through complex chemical reactions such as polymerization and catalysis to form a lubricating fluid composed of large molecules. 3. Essentially, it uses the better components of crude oil, undergoes chemical reactions, and achieves the desired molecular form under human control. Fully synthetic oil molecules are neatly arranged, naturally possessing strong resistance to external variables. Therefore, it has better physical properties, with significantly superior heat stability, oxidation resistance, and viscosity change resistance compared to mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil.

What Causes Car Radiator Leakage?

Car radiator leakage can be caused by burst hoses, emulsified engine oil, loose radiator cap, leaking rubber pipe joints, cracked cooling tubes, or radiator damage. The car radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is a key component in the vehicle's cooling system. Emergency measures for car radiator leakage: When the leak involves cracks no larger than 1mm or holes no bigger than 2mm, add a bottle of radiator sealant to the radiator and start the engine. After 5-10 minutes of opening the coolant for major circulation, all leaks in the cooling system—whether in the radiator, rubber hoses, or gaskets—will stop. The sealant doesn't need to be drained and won't affect heat dissipation or cause blockages. If no sealant is available, for minor leaks in individual cooling tubes, you can temporarily place loose tobacco strands into the radiator. The water circulation pressure will cause the strands to clog the leak points in the cooling tubes. For more severe leaks in radiator cooling tubes, cut off the leaking section of the tube, plug the cut end with a soap-coated cotton ball, then use pliers to flatten and crimp the tube end to stop the leak. For leaking rubber pipe joints, immediately wrap the joint clamp twice around the leaking area with a screwdriver, then tighten it with pliers. If the rubber hose is damaged, temporarily wrap the cracked area tightly with adhesive tape.

At What Level of Tire Cracking Should Replacement Be Done?

If the tread of a car tire is severely worn, it is necessary to replace the tire promptly. After patching a tire more than three times, it is still recommended to replace the tire in a timely manner. The general service life of car tires is about 5-6 years. When this time is reached, it is also advisable to replace them promptly to avoid troubles while driving.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Lock and the Key to Not Turn, Preventing the Car from Starting?

Reasons why the steering wheel suddenly locks and the car won't start during normal driving: Possible causes include the steering wheel universal joint sticking, steering gear failure, or interference in the steering linkage movement. The exact cause should be determined based on the actual vehicle condition. It is recommended to stop immediately and contact a 4S store or auto repair shop as soon as possible. The specific reasons for the steering wheel suddenly locking during normal driving are as follows: 1. Steering gear failure: This is likely due to an improperly designed drainage outlet at the bottom of the vehicle from the windshield water guide tube, combined with inadequate sealing of the power steering mechanism, which causes water to enter the sensor wiring harness or internal components. This leads to power steering failure and results in "steering wheel lock." If this is the cause, the vehicle may have a design defect. Of course, the possibility of issues with the steering gear wiring harness or other components leading to such incidents cannot be ruled out. 2. Steering wheel universal joint sticking: There is a pin inside the steering wheel. When the driver removes the key, even a slight turn of the steering wheel will cause the pin to pop into a hole, locking the steering wheel. In this state, the steering wheel cannot be turned, and the keyhole also cannot be turned, ensuring that unauthorized individuals cannot steal the vehicle. 3. Interference in the steering linkage movement: The steering drag link is responsible for transmitting the movement of the steering arm to the steering knuckle arm, while the steering tie rod is the base of the steering trapezoidal mechanism, a critical component ensuring the correct movement relationship between the left and right steering wheels. Therefore, any other interference in movement may cause the steering wheel to lock.

How to Change a Flat Tire with a Spare?

First, park the car safely, shift to P gear, and engage the handbrake. Then, place a triangular warning board 50-100 meters behind the car before starting to locate the spare tire and the tools needed for changing it. Loosen the wheel bolts. Use the car's weight and the friction between the tire and the ground to loosen them by turning counterclockwise. Take out the jack and position it at the designated jacking point or slot, then place the spare tire under the car. Remove the damaged tire, place it under the car, and tighten the bolts in a diagonal pattern. Do not tighten all the bolts at once.

What does the T procedure mean?

Automobiles with a T at the back indicate the use of a turbocharged engine, while those without a T indicate a naturally aspirated engine. The difference lies in the type of engine the vehicle is equipped with. Compared to a naturally aspirated engine of the same displacement, a "T" engine is more powerful. Turbocharged engines increase air intake: A turbocharged engine essentially uses a turbocharger when necessary, which increases air intake by utilizing the exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbocharger. Turbocharged engines deliver stronger power: By increasing the air intake, more fuel is injected to match, burning more fuel to achieve stronger power.
