To use the exhaust brake in a vehicle: 1. Move the lever backward to the 1st gear, which activates engine braking in 4 cylinders, generating 66% of the engine braking power; 2. Shift to the 2nd gear to activate engine braking in all 6 cylinders, achieving 100% engine braking power; 3. The exhaust brake is an auxiliary braking device used during prolonged downhill driving to assist with braking through engine exhaust braking. The exhaust brake switch is located on the wiper control and is widely used in large diesel vehicles. A regulating valve is installed on the engine exhaust pipe, and closing this valve increases the pressure in the exhaust stroke, utilizing the generated negative pressure to obtain braking force.

What Level Does SP Grade Engine Oil Belong To?

SP grade is the highest level in the engine oil industry. Characteristics of SP Grade: SP engine oil solves the low-speed pre-ignition issue in turbocharged direct-injection engines, meaning the engine has better low-speed anti-knock performance, resulting in smoother engine operation. It enhances the lubricant's protection against wear on the engine's timing chain. Due to the higher certification standards, SP oil also possesses excellent features such as anti-wear, cleaning, and fuel efficiency. Requirements for SP Standard Engine Oil: It must contain low-SAPS (low sulfur, low phosphorus, low ash) additives, which effectively prevent excessive byproducts from oil combustion from adhering to the particulate filter, thereby reducing the likelihood of clogging.

Are the filling locations for antifreeze and windshield washer fluid the same?

Antifreeze and windshield washer fluid are not filled in the same location. Windshield washer fluid filling port is located in the engine compartment: Open the engine compartment and look for a blue cap (some may be other colors). The cap will have a windshield symbol or a similar water spray symbol. Pour the windshield washer fluid directly into it, and it usually takes about 1.5 liters to fill. Antifreeze should be added by opening the expansion tank cap: The expansion tank is a transparent container marked with minimum and maximum levels. Fill the antifreeze between these two levels. Never open the cap to add antifreeze when the engine is hot, as the cooling system is under high pressure. Opening the cap when hot may cause high-temperature coolant to spray out, leading to dangerous consequences.
