Methods to check the quality of engine oil: 1. Inspect the packaging: Genuine engine oil packaging will not have blurred logos or unclear patterns, and the material of the oil cap is fine. If the appearance of the oil is blurry and the material is rough, it is likely counterfeit oil; 2. Check the seal: If the seal of the oil is not tight, it is probably fake, indicating it has been opened; 3. Observe the color: Genuine oil has a bright, clear color and flows smoothly without impurities or suspended particles. Fake oil appears dull and may have turbidity; 4. Smell the oil: Genuine oil is odorless. If there is a pungent or unusual smell, the oil is likely not genuine and may contain impurities; 4. Check the anti-counterfeit label: Genuine oil has an anti-counterfeit label with a barcode that can be scanned to verify production date, manufacturer, and other details to confirm authenticity.

How to Fix Non-Functioning Power Windows?

Solutions for non-functioning power windows: 1. If you smell burning or hear unusual noises when holding down the window button, it indicates a damaged window lift motor component. In this case, it's recommended to visit a 4S shop or auto repair shop to replace the window regulator motor. 2. If the issue lies with the window control switch, simply replacing the switch can resolve the problem. 3. If there are foreign objects in the window channel or weatherstrip, you can remove and clean/lubricate them. For deformed or damaged channels, replacing the window channel will solve the issue. 4. All window lift motors have an overheating protection mechanism. If components overheat for any reason, the motor will enter protection mode, causing window operation failure.

What is Mobil 10w40 engine oil?

Engine oil 10w40 refers to the viscosity grade of the oil being 10w40. Below are the relevant details: 1. Specifics: The number before 'w' represents cold-start performance. The smaller the number, the easier it is to start the engine in cold weather. Common grades include 0W, 5w, 10w, and 15w. The number 40 indicates the oil's viscosity characteristics at high temperatures. Higher viscosity oils (with higher numbers) may be more suitable for high-speed driving or heavily loaded vehicles. 2. Oil usage: Compared to 10w30, 10w40 has higher viscosity and better sealing properties, which can lead to increased fuel consumption in the engine. At idle, higher viscosity oils produce lower noise levels, while during driving, higher viscosity oils tend to generate more noise. Conversely, lower viscosity oils are characterized by better fuel efficiency.

How to See the 30 cm Right Side Line Without a Wiper?

Methods to see the 30 cm right side line without a wiper include: 1. Method One: Look at the Hood: The test site has side lines. From the driver's seat, if the right one-third of the hood aligns with the right side line, the car is about 30 cm away from the right side line. 2. Method Two: Look at the Wiper: From the driver's seat, when the raised part of the left wiper aligns with the right side line on the ground, the car is approximately 30 cm away from the right side line. If unsure, you can also confirm through the right rearview mirror to find the precise point. 3. Method Three: Look at the Right Rearview Mirror: Observe the front door handle in the right rearview mirror. When it is tangent to the right side line, the distance between the car body and the right side of the road is about 30 cm.

What Causes the Sunroof Leakage in the Mistra?

The reasons for sunroof leakage in the Mistra are as follows: 1. Prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can cause the sealing strip to age and crack: Factors such as never opening the sunroof, frequent exposure to strong sunlight, forcibly opening the sunroof when it's frozen in winter, or using low-quality car wash liquids can lead to the aging and cracking of the sealing strip; 2. The sunroof and sealing strip are not tightly sealed: If there is a gap between the sunroof and the sealing strip, it will naturally cause leakage; 3. The drainage holes of the sunroof are blocked, causing rainwater to accumulate in the drainage channel: When the drainage holes are clogged, a large amount of rainwater can accumulate in the sunroof's drainage channel, leading to leakage over time; 4. The drainage pipe or its joints are broken: This situation requires professional repair at a service center to disassemble and reassemble the interior trim panel.
