Gas stations have 98 octane gasoline, but not every gas station carries it. You can use the Sinopec app to check the types of gasoline sold at each affiliated gas station. If it is listed, it means the station offers that service. Below is an introduction to gasoline characteristics: Anti-knock Property: The property that measures whether a fuel is prone to knocking is called anti-knock property. The anti-knock property of gasoline is indicated by the octane number (RON). The higher the octane number of gasoline, the better its anti-knock property. Cleanliness: Gasoline often contains mechanical impurities and water. Mechanical impurities can cause severe consequences such as clogging of fuel lines and increased wear. Water mixed into gasoline can accelerate oxidation and react with low-molecular-weight organic acids in gasoline to form acidic aqueous solutions that corrode metals. At low temperatures, water can freeze and form ice particles that clog fuel lines. Therefore, the presence of mechanical impurities and water in automotive gasoline should be strictly controlled.

The Difference Between Air Recirculation and Fresh Air Mode

The differences between air recirculation and fresh air mode are as follows: 1. When recirculation mode is activated, the blower will not draw fresh air from outside into the vehicle; the fresh air mode operates conversely. 2. Recirculation mode is used in traffic congestion situations; fresh air mode is recommended for long-distance driving or highway use. 3. Recirculation operation method: closes the airflow channel between inside and outside the vehicle, circulating only the interior air when AC is on; fresh air operation method: uses the blower to exchange air between vehicle interior and exterior, drawing outside air in while expelling interior air out.

Is 270 kPa Tire Pressure Too High?

Tire pressure of 270 kPa is too high, which will increase the load on the car during driving and make the tire more likely to burst. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance; It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; It accelerates the local wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, reducing the tire's lifespan; It increases the vibration of the car body, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; It causes excessive stretching deformation of the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body and increasing the load on the car during driving; It decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and bursts, leading to a blowout. Methods for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found during inspection, drive to a tire shop promptly for repair and then reinflate; If the tire pressure warning appears again after some time of inflation but there is no puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to check and replace the wheel rim.

Where is the intake air temperature sensor located on the Volkswagen CC?

The intake air temperature sensor on the Volkswagen CC is located on the intake pipe or inside the mass air flow sensor. Sensor failure: There are various sensors near the engine including coolant temperature sensor, oxygen sensor, intake air temperature sensor, mass air flow sensor, and knock sensor. Engine carbon buildup: Many older vehicles have never had carbon deposits cleaned. Engine wear: Engine components experience natural wear with prolonged usage. Regular maintenance: Preventive maintenance is more cost-effective than repairs. Regular servicing not only reduces vehicle failure rates but also improves fuel efficiency. During maintenance, replace time-sensitive components such as spark plugs, oil filters, brake fluid, radiator coolant, cabin air filters, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and fuel filters. Maintaining optimal vehicle condition minimizes fuel consumption. Avoid aggressive acceleration: Hard acceleration only reduces travel time by 4% but increases fuel consumption by 37-40%. In urban driving conditions (average speed 50 km/h), maintain engine RPM between 2000-2500. On highways (90-110 km/h), every 10 km/h speed increase raises fuel consumption by 10%.

How to Remove and Install Car Headlights?

Method for removing and installing car headlights: Open the hood, remove the bumper, then unscrew the bolts connecting to the fender; reverse the steps for assembly. More information about car headlights is as follows: 1. Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights. As the eyes of the car, headlights not only relate to the owner's external image but are also closely linked to safe driving at night or in bad weather conditions. 2. Located at the front of the car, headlights primarily serve lighting and signaling purposes, making their daily use and maintenance essential. The light emitted by car headlights illuminates the road conditions ahead, enabling safe driving at night.

Is it safe to drive with a tire pressure of 185?

Tire pressure of 185 kPa is not safe for driving. According to the international standard GBT2978-2008, the recommended tire pressure is 240-250 kPa for standard tires, 280-390 kPa for reinforced tires, with the maximum pressure not exceeding 350 kPa. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Heavier steering wheel and tendency to drift, compromising driving safety; Increased movement of tire components, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduced functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim, and damage to the bead area, resulting in abnormal wear; Exponentially increased friction with the ground, rapid rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and sharp decline in strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowout; Increased tire body deformation, prone to sidewall cracks, and flexing movement, causing excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, cord breakage, and increased tire contact area, accelerating shoulder wear. Solutions for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, inflate to normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found, drive to a tire shop for repair and reinflation; If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed rim. It is recommended to check and replace the rim.

What maintenance is required for a new car at 30,000 kilometers?

The following maintenance is required for a new car at 30,000 kilometers: 1. Engine oil and oil filter replacement: Primarily for the lubrication system. The oil filter removes impurities from the oil to ensure the lubrication system functions properly. The oil filter should be replaced along with the engine oil. 2. Air filter replacement: The cabin air filter affects the air quality inside the vehicle. Replace it according to the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual. 3. Transmission fluid, differential fluid, transfer case fluid (for 4WD vehicles), rear axle fluid (for rear-wheel-drive vehicles), brake fluid, power steering fluid, clutch fluid (for manual transmission vehicles), coolant, spark plugs, brake pads, and other components also require maintenance.
