Engine lubricating oil is indeed engine oil. Below is an introduction to engine oil-related content: Increased fuel consumption: When adding engine oil, the oil level should be between the upper and lower limits on the dipstick. If too much engine oil is added, the oil volume will expand as the engine temperature rises, increasing pressure in the oil chamber and operational resistance. This can lead to reduced vehicle power and increased fuel consumption. Overfilling engine oil: Excessive engine oil can cause oil to leak through the crankcase vent pipe, increasing crankcase pressure. The oil seal may loosen due to the oil pressure, resulting in oil leakage. Heat dissipation: Overfilling engine oil can affect engine heat dissipation.

Which engine is used in the Volkswagen Lamando?

Volkswagen Lamando is equipped with the EA211 engine. Below is an extended introduction to the EA211 engine: The EA211 can be considered an upgraded version of the EA111, with many technological differences between the two. The EA211 leads internationally in lightweight design, power enhancement, torque improvement, and emission reduction: 1. The EA211 engine is the first in China to meet the Euro V standard and enter mass production, while the EA111 meets the National V standard. 2. The EA211's TSI integrates advanced technologies such as turbocharging and direct fuel injection. 3. Compared to the EA111, the EA211 uses an all-aluminum cylinder block, reducing weight by 22KG. 4. In contrast to the EA111, the EA211 employs a high-performance timing belt, which lowers cost and weight and reduces engine noise. However, it requires regular maintenance, increasing upkeep costs.

Why is Turbocharger Maintenance More Expensive?

Here are the reasons why turbocharger maintenance is more expensive: 1. Turbochargers have higher requirements for engine oil, necessitating the use of high-quality full synthetic oil for maintenance. Compared to semi-synthetic and mineral oils, full synthetic oil has a wider temperature range, is less prone to deterioration, has lower evaporation loss, and offers a longer service life than conventional oils. Full synthetic oil also exhibits less thermal degradation, saves fuel, and provides better engine protection. 2. The greatest advantage of a turbocharger is its ability to significantly increase engine power and torque without increasing engine displacement. After installing a turbocharger, an engine's maximum power output can increase by approximately 40% or more compared to when it is not equipped with one.

Which gear is the reverse gear in an automatic transmission?

The reverse gear is the R gear, used when the vehicle is reversing. Here is more information about automatic transmission vehicles: 1. The automatic transmission also includes the P gear, which is the parking gear or parking brake, N is the neutral gear of the vehicle, used for temporary parking, D gear is the drive gear, used when the vehicle is moving. The above gears can only be switched when the vehicle is stationary. 2. When parking the vehicle, the D gear should not be used for a long time. When the vehicle is driving at high speed or going downhill, the N gear should not be used. The engine cannot be started when the vehicle is in P or N gear, and the engine cannot be started by pushing the vehicle. The vehicle can shift to a higher gear by increasing the throttle.
