Does Mixing Gasoline Have Any Impact?

Mixing gasoline types will not cause significant issues in the short term. However, prolonged use may lead to engine knocking, especially noticeable during idling. Below is relevant information about mixing gasoline: 1. Different Octane Ratings: Mixing two types of gasoline may cause certain damage to the engine. Since 92 and 95 octane gasoline have different octane ratings, mixing them can affect the operation of fuel injectors and carburetors. Firstly, fuel injectors may become clogged due to the mixture, potentially preventing complete atomization of the mixed gasoline. This incomplete combustion in the engine increases carbon deposits, ultimately reducing engine performance and possibly leading to premature engine failure. 2. Different Cleanliness Levels: The cleanliness of gasoline is not determined by its octane rating but by national standards, such as China IV or China V seen at gas stations. The main difference lies in sulfur content—for example, China V gasoline can have five times less sulfur than China IV. Sulfur content directly affects the cleanliness of gasoline and its combustion byproducts.

Why do people prefer C-HR over IZOA?

The reasons for choosing C-HR over IZOA are as follows: 1. C-HR has home advantage: C-HR is produced by GAC Toyota, while IZOA is produced by FAW Toyota. Among Toyota buyers, people from southern regions, especially Guangdong, are the majority. As a company located in Guangdong, GAC Toyota's C-HR has a slight home advantage over IZOA, which may lead to a sales gap. 2. C-HR better meets user needs: The differences between Toyota C-HR and IZOA are mainly reflected in their configurations. IZOA's configuration feature is that the differences between various models are small, meaning that buying mid-to-low-end models is more cost-effective. On the other hand, C-HR has a significant gap between low-end and high-end models, with the high-end models being the preferred choice.

What does the 'W' in motor oil grades mean?

The 'W' in motor oil grades stands for winter, which is the abbreviation of 'winter', indicating that this oil can be used normally in winter. Motor oil grades include 5W30, 5W40, 0W30, and 0W40. The number before the 'W' represents the oil's low-temperature flow performance. 5W means the oil can flow normally at -30 degrees Celsius, while 0W means it can flow normally at -35 degrees Celsius. The number after the 'W' indicates the oil's high-temperature viscosity, with higher numbers representing higher viscosity. Motor oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal and prevent leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine.
