No, it's not useful. The so-called engine oil additive refers to a type of oil additive produced by some manufacturers, whose ingredients include viscosity index improvers and anti-wear additives, among other things. Here is some relevant information: 1. Overview: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, English name: Engine-oil. With a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), it serves to lubricate and reduce wear in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. 2. Classification: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives can compensate for and improve the deficiencies in the performance of the base oil, imparting certain new properties, making them an important component of lubricating oil.

How to Turn on the Low Beam Headlights in Qoros 5?

To turn on the low beam headlights in Qoros 5, simply pull the control lever located below the left side of the steering wheel back with your fingers. Here is some knowledge about car lights: 1. Light switch: Nowadays, vehicle light switches are mostly lever-type or knob-type, with lever-type being the most common. When driving at night, drivers may be unsure whether they have turned on the high beam or low beam headlights. In fact, drivers can distinguish between them by the indicator lights on the dashboard. The difference between the low beam and high beam indicators is quite obvious. The low beam icon has light lines pointing downward, while the high beam icon has light lines pointing straight ahead. 2. Precautions: Do not mistakenly use the high beam as the low beam. In the following situations, immediately switch from high beam to low beam: first, when there is an oncoming vehicle; second, when you are close to a vehicle ahead moving in the same direction; third, when the road is already sufficiently illuminated; fourth, when crossing railway intersections or returning to busy streets.

What Causes Severe Car Shaking?

Reasons for severe car shaking: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits; 2. Problems with the ignition system; 3. Misalignment of the drive axle; 4. Uneven brake discs. If the car body shakes due to severe engine carbon deposits, the owner should promptly clean the fuel system and check whether the idle speed control valve has carbon deposits. If there is a problem with the ignition system, the spark plugs should be immediately checked for carbon deposits and replaced if necessary. For misaligned drive axles or uneven brake discs, it is recommended to seek repair at a professional automotive repair facility or 4S shop. Note that slight shaking during normal driving is a normal phenomenon.

How to Determine if the Turbocharger is Faulty?

Methods to determine if the turbocharger is faulty: 1. A faulty turbocharger will produce loud noises; it is recommended to check the turbocharger's valve or the engine. 2. There is no noticeable lack of power when pressing the accelerator. 3. The engine experiences incomplete combustion, resulting in strong exhaust odors. 4. Abnormal exhaust emissions from the vehicle. A turbocharger utilizes the inertial force of the exhaust gases expelled by the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber. The turbine, in turn, drives the coaxial impeller, which compresses and delivers air from the air filter pipe, pressurizing it before it enters the cylinder. The primary function of a turbocharger is to increase the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque, making the vehicle more powerful. When a turbocharger is installed on an engine, its power can increase by up to forty percent compared to when it is not equipped with one.
