To check the engine oil level in a BYD Tang, use the up and down buttons on the steering wheel to locate the oil dipstick display, which will show the oil quantity. Below is some information about BYD: 1.

Checking the oil level of a BYD Tang is actually quite simple. I often do my own car maintenance. First, park the car on level ground and let the engine cool for at least 10 minutes to avoid burns. Open the engine hood and locate the yellow-orange oil dipstick ring—it's usually near the left side of the engine. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it thoroughly with a clean cloth or paper towel, and then reinsert it all the way. Now, pull it out again to check: the oil mark should be between the min and max indicators on the dipstick. If it's too high, it might indicate overfilling; if it's too low, you'll need to top it up. Remember to check every week or two to prevent engine wear. The BYD Tang is a hybrid, so paying attention to the oil condition is even more crucial—don't wait for the warning light to come on. I've seen too many people neglect this and end up with major repairs. Extra tip: Use the correct oil type—refer to the manual for recommended grades like 5W-30. Don't skimp on small expenses and risk big problems. Proper maintenance ensures your car lasts longer.

Checking the engine oil level isn't as scary as it seems. Let me guide you step by step. Park on level ground, wait a few minutes after turning off the engine, and make sure the engine isn't hot before proceeding. Open the hood - see that small yellow pull ring? That's the dipstick. Pull it out and wipe off the old oil with a clean cloth. Reinsert it fully, then pull it out again to check: the oil mark should be between the min and max indicators. If it's too low, you can add some new oil; if it's too high, you'll need to remove some. Don't forget to regularly check the oil for your BYD Tang hybrid - once a month is sufficient. Also, pay attention to any unusual noises or increased fuel consumption. All you need is a cloth for this task. Take your time if you're a beginner, safety comes first.

Engine oil level inspection is crucial for safety, and I emphasize the key points. For the BYD Tang, park on a level surface, wait for the engine to cool completely, open the hood, pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then check the oil level position. If the oil level is below the MIN mark, it indicates oil leakage or burning, and you need to add oil; if it exceeds the MAX mark, it may be overfilled. Check before and after each maintenance to ensure the BYD hybrid system is not damaged by insufficient oil. Develop this habit to prevent major repairs, and your car will last longer.

What are the causes of car shaking while driving?

Car shaking while driving can be caused by: 1. Ignition system issues, such as incorrect spark plug gap, excessive carbon buildup on spark plugs, or damaged ignition coils; 2. Excessive carbon deposits on the engine, throttle valve, and fuel injectors are a major cause of engine shaking. Since carbon deposits absorb gasoline, excessive deposits can be drawn into the cylinders for combustion, leading to inconsistent air-fuel mixture concentrations in the cylinders, which is particularly noticeable during cold starts; 3. The engine operates within a specific temperature range. If the coolant temperature is too high, it can cause premature ignition timing, altered air-fuel mixture ratios, thinning of engine oil viscosity, and reduced lubrication performance. Common causes include insufficient coolant, a stuck thermostat, non-functioning fan, or inaccurate temperature control switch settings, all of which can lead to shaking.
