Dexxon Mobil and Mobil are not the same. More related information is as follows: Introduction: Strictly speaking, Mobil should not be considered a Group IV base oil. It contains Group IV additives but is primarily Group III. Group IV is used in this niche oil, which is a Group IV PAO with ester additives, offering excellent performance. This oil is suitable for cars, performs well overall, and has strong resistance to degradation, like GT Magic Red, allowing for oil changes every 15,000 kilometers. It has a long oil change interval and high cost-effectiveness. Quality: The quality of lubricating oil largely depends on the quality of the base oil. For example, the best base oil in China comes from the Daqing Oilfield, while the base oil from Lanlian is not as good. Therefore, when choosing lubricating oil, it is advisable to opt for higher-quality products like Shell or Mobil. Currently, there are two main types of base oils used: 1. Alkylbenzene base oil, 2. Mineral base oil. 3. Synthetic base oil, etc.

When I first started driving, I often thought about Mobil oil. Mobil is a big brand, recognized globally, primarily a company that manufactures lubricants. As for Dexos Mobil, it's actually a series under Mobil, specifically designed to meet General Motors' Dexos standard certification. Simply put, Mobil is the brand name, while Dexos is the specification requirement set by GM, focusing on the quality, compatibility, and protection of engine oil. I think they're different; Dexos Mobil is like a customized version, ensuring more stable performance in GM vehicles, such as reducing carbon deposits and extending engine life. In daily driving, if you own a GM vehicle, using Dexos Mobil is safer; for other cars, regular Mobil oil is fine, but it's crucial to check the car manual's recommendation. Don't confuse the two, as choosing the wrong oil could harm the engine. I've used Dexos Mobil a few times and felt it responds faster during cold starts.

How Many Chances Are There for the Subject 1 Test?

There is no limit to the number of attempts for the Subject 1 driving test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," candidates can take the Subject 1 test twice on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a free retake is allowed for the second attempt. If the second attempt also fails, the Subject 1 test is terminated for that day, and the candidate must wait ten days before scheduling another test. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test covers fundamental driving theory, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer, with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for the Subject 1 test is 90 out of 100. The test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test content includes: driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Notes for the Subject 1 test: Candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures displayed on the screen and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the examination room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the designated station, locate your assigned seat, and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it—unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of Subject 1 test appointments. Each subject test allows one retake if the initial attempt fails. If the retake is not taken or is unsuccessful, the test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests allow only five attempts each. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests must be rescheduled ten days later. If the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test is failed, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge tests. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (under the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."

What is Automotive Thermal Efficiency?

Automotive thermal efficiency refers to the ratio between the mechanical work output by the engine and the chemical energy generated by fuel combustion, which evaluates how much heat is converted into effective work. More information about automotive thermal efficiency is as follows: 1. Engine thermal efficiency is one of the indicators for evaluating engine performance. The higher the engine's thermal efficiency, the better the fuel economy, performance, and emissions. Currently, mainstream engine thermal efficiencies worldwide mostly range between 30%-38%, with some exceptional ones exceeding 40%. 2. In addition to being related to the engine's thermal efficiency, a car's fuel consumption is also influenced by factors such as the vehicle's displacement, weight, aerodynamic drag, and tire width. Furthermore, a car's fuel consumption is also affected by the driver's driving habits.

What is the principle of a manual transmission?

Here is an introduction to the principle of a manual transmission: 1. By shifting the gear lever, the driving gear on the intermediate shaft is switched, and the combination of gears of different sizes is engaged with the power output shaft, thereby changing the torque and speed of the driving wheels. 2. The engine's power input shaft is indirectly connected to the power output shaft through an intermediate shaft. The two gears (red) on the intermediate shaft and the two gears (blue) on the power output shaft rotate together with the engine output. However, without the engagement of the synchronizer (purple), the two gears (blue) can only idle on the power output shaft (i.e., they will not drive the output shaft to rotate). The synchronizer is in an intermediate state, which is equivalent to the transmission being in neutral. 3. When the gear lever is moved to the left, the synchronizer is moved to the right to engage with the gear, and the engine power is transmitted to the power output shaft through the gear on the intermediate shaft.

How to Check the Condition of Transmission Fluid?

To check the transmission fluid, follow these steps: 1. For more accurate results, shift into P (Park), start the vehicle, and let it idle for 2 minutes. 2. Press the brake pedal and shift gears in the following sequence: R-N twice, then N-D twice, keeping the brake pedal pressed throughout. Finally, shift into N (Neutral). 3. Press the brake pedal, shift into R (Reverse), release the pedal, and let the wheels rotate for about 10 seconds. Lightly press the brake pedal to stop the wheels, then shift into N (Neutral) and repeat the operation once more. 4. Press the brake pedal, shift into D (Drive), release the pedal, let the wheels rotate for about 10 seconds, then lightly press the pedal to stop the wheels. Shift into N (Neutral) and repeat the operation once more. 5. After completing the above steps, shift into P (Park), keep the engine idling, lift the vehicle to a suitable position, remove the transmission fluid inspection bolt, and discard the gasket. If the fluid flows in a continuous stream from the inspection bolt hole, the fluid is normal. Additionally, if the fluid appears black, it should be replaced. 6. If the fluid level is low, add fluid through the filler hole until a continuous stream flows out. Replace the gasket with a new one, tighten the filler bolt, check for leaks, lower the vehicle, and the fluid inspection is complete.
