BMW X1 electronic oil dipstick checking method: You can select the car system through the central control, and a prompt will allow you to check the oil level on the dipstick. The electronic dipstick indicates the maximum oil level when the engine is cold and the minimum level when the engine is hot. Here is an introduction to the electronic oil dipstick: 1. The oil dipstick is usually located near the engine and has a distinct feature—a pull ring. Pulling the ring firmly will allow you to remove it. 2. However, you cannot check the oil level immediately because there may be oil residue on the dipstick. Use a clean tissue to wipe it off, then reinsert it. Pull it out a second time to check the oil level. 3. If you notice that the oil level is almost below the minimum mark, you need to add oil promptly to avoid potential damage. 4. When the oil level is below the minimum mark, there is still some oil left in the tank, but it serves as a reminder for the owner to replenish the oil.

How Often Should You Change the Oil if You Don't Drive Often?

If you don't drive often, you can change the oil once a year. Here's how to choose the right oil: Oil Dipstick Indicators: The oil dipstick has two marks: a maximum level and a minimum level. The proper oil level should not exceed the maximum mark or fall below the minimum mark. The oil level should be between these two marks. How to Check the Oil: After adding oil, start the vehicle and then turn it off. Wait for 3 minutes before checking the oil level. This is because when changing the oil, the oil filter is also replaced, and the new filter initially contains no oil. Starting the vehicle allows oil to flow into the filter. Waiting 3 minutes ensures the oil settles into the oil pan, providing a more accurate reading. Avoid checking the oil on a slope, as the tilted position of the vehicle causes the oil in the pan to tilt as well, leading to an inaccurate measurement.

Do Winter Tires Increase Fuel Consumption?

Winter tires do increase fuel consumption; switching to winter tires can raise fuel consumption by approximately 15%. Below is an introduction to the classification and advantages of winter tires: Classification of Winter Tires: Based on anti-skid performance on road surfaces, winter tires are divided into three types: serrated surface tires, snow tires, and studded tires. Advantages of Winter Tires: Winter tires enhance traction on snow and ice through special formulations. Their benefits include improved mobility and safety on snowy and icy roads. The tread material of winter tires is softer, and the carefully formulated silica-mixed rubber compound allows for closer contact with smooth ice surfaces, generating greater friction than all-season tires. This improves the vehicle's handling and safety on slippery ice surfaces.

Will I Get Penalized If the Light Turns Red Mid-U-Turn?

It depends on the situation. Running a red light requires three photos: the first showing the front tires crossing the line, the second showing the middle of the car crossing, and the third showing the rear tires crossing. If all three photos are present, you will be penalized. Whether a U-turn is allowed at a red light is determined by the intersection signage. Below are the rules for U-turns at red lights: 1. No U-turns on crosswalks: Even at intersections where U-turns are generally permitted, you cannot make a U-turn on a crosswalk. If the intersection has a left-turn lane, you can make a U-turn along the lane. If there is no left-turn lane marking, you must first cross the crosswalk before making the U-turn. 2. Yellow grid sections: The yellow grid areas on the road are primarily for no-parking reminders. If you are driving in a yellow grid section and there is no central divider, you can make a U-turn in the yellow grid area. 3. No U-turns on solid yellow lines: If the center line is solid, whether it's a single or double yellow line, U-turns are prohibited. If there is one dashed yellow line and one solid yellow line, and the dashed line is closer to your vehicle, a U-turn is allowed. If the solid line is closer to your vehicle, U-turns are prohibited.
