Brake system maintenance methods: 1. Regularly inspect and replace the brake fluid; 2. Brake pads and discs generate iron filings due to prolonged friction and need regular cleaning; 3. If the car shakes when braking, regularly check the brake pads and discs; 4. Be cautious about applying the handbrake after washing the car in winter. The brake system consists of a control system, hydraulic system, and power assist system. The control system includes the pedal, handbrake, etc., while the hydraulic system is composed of hydraulic oil, brake pump, and hydraulic pipes. The working principle of the brake is to convert the kinetic energy of the car into frictional heat energy to dissipate it. Common brake devices include drum brakes and disc brakes.

What grade of gasoline should the Odyssey use?

The Odyssey should use 92-octane gasoline, as this is the grade recommended in the vehicle's official user manual. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the user manual, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which will be clearly marked. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. If the compression ratio is even higher, 98-octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the use of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the appropriate gasoline grade, as high-compression engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane gasoline. Other factors, such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology, also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane rating and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Odyssey occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switching back to the correct grade after use is sufficient. However, prolonged use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower-octane gasoline, using a higher grade will not cause damage, but the increased octane rating can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher-octane gasoline, using a lower grade can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane rating lowers the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance is created during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unevenly. Mild knocking may only increase noise without obvious engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to severe damage like cylinder scoring.
