0W engine oil has higher quality requirements. Below is an introduction to the selection method of engine oil: Principles: The selection of engine oil is quite particular. Car owners can choose engine oil based on the local maximum and minimum temperatures, the vehicle's grade, and its condition. Differences between engine oils: If an engine oil with too high viscosity is selected, it will increase movement resistance and affect engine power; if an engine oil with too low viscosity is selected, it cannot guarantee lubrication quality and will exacerbate engine wear. How to choose: For engines that have experienced significant wear and have larger component clearances, a higher viscosity grade of engine oil can be selected to enhance the sealing performance of the components. Simply put, it is better to choose thinner oil for new cars and thicker oil for cars with higher mileage.

How to Turn on the Air Conditioning in a Buick Excelle?

When you need to turn on the air conditioning for cold air, press the A/C switch to activate the cooling function, then adjust the temperature and air outlet mode. According to the principle that hot air rises, directing the cold air upward can help lower the temperature inside the car more quickly. Additional information is as follows: 1. Buick Excelle Air Conditioning System: The control panel for the Buick Excelle air conditioning system is located below the central multimedia screen on the dashboard. Additionally, the air conditioning system can be set through the air conditioning interface in the multimedia system. By pressing the "Air Conditioning" button on the infotainment main screen, you can control the fan, air delivery mode, air conditioning mode, and set temperature. If the vehicle is equipped with voice recognition, you can adjust the temperature control system using voice commands. 2. Dry and Anti-Mold Function: Most modern air conditioning systems are designed with a dry and anti-mold function, which means that after cooling ends, the system will blow natural air for 10-20 minutes (depending on the specific model). Some models may also blow warm air briefly near the end of the drying process. The purpose of this function is to fully evaporate any residual moisture on the evaporator (the aluminum foil seen on the indoor unit) to prevent mold growth.
