GF-6A oil is low ash oil. Oil specifications: Gasoline engine oil specifications are divided into GF-1, GF-2, GF-3, and GF-4. GF-1, GF-2, and GF-3 not only meet all the requirements of API-SH and SJ respectively but also pass the EC energy-saving requirements specified by ILSAC; GF specifications are API specifications plus energy-saving, and GF-4 specification = API-SM level + EC energy-saving certification. Low ash oil: Low ash oil refers to the non-combustible metal salts and metal oxides (such as metal sulfate salts, etc.) remaining after the oil is completely burned under specified conditions. These are usually caused by additives in the oil. For example, calcium additives were widely used in previous oil products, and their content of non-combustible residual inorganic matter was very high.

What is the Principle of the Car Key Induction Coil?

Car key identification induction coil chips have special diagnostic functions. When reading the key's security information, they can obtain historical data of the anti-theft system. When the car key is turned in the ignition switch, the engine control unit (ECU) in the vehicle sends a set of encrypted electronic code signals to the chip inside the car key. The vehicle is only allowed to start if the ECU unit can read and receive the correct anti-theft code signal in response. Relevant information about the car key's HOLD button is as follows: 1. Introduction: The HOLD button, when pressed for several seconds, opens the trunk, preventing the danger of accidentally opening the trunk while the vehicle is in motion, hence the name "HOLD." 2. Other Functions: The HOLD button is not just a trunk opener; it also serves as a remote engine start button. Within a certain remote distance, holding it for 2 to 3 seconds will automatically start the car. This feature is particularly useful in winter and summer for pre-adjusting the interior temperature.

What procedures are required for a car charging station?

Individuals who want to set up a car charging pile need to meet two basic conditions: their own fixed parking space and a power supply. If the power supply capacity is sufficient, the distance between the parking space and the power source should be considered. If it is very close (e.g., within 30 meters), there is generally no major issue; if the distance is longer, it is necessary to check whether underground or overhead wiring is required along the way, which involves electrical safety issues. This matter needs to be negotiated with the property management. Relevant information about car range is as follows: 1. Introduction: Car range refers to the maximum distance that can be driven with the remaining gasoline in the tank at a fuel-saving speed, mainly calculated automatically by the car's computer based on the current fuel consumption. 2. Influencing factors: The car's range is affected by four factors: charging equipment, tire pressure, whether the vehicle is overtaking, and whether it frequently stops and starts abruptly.

Can a Car Battery Still Be Used After Being Soaked in Water?

Regarding the question of whether an electric vehicle can still be used after being soaked in water, it depends on the extent of the soaking. If the electric vehicle is submerged to a significant depth, covering the battery, it should not be used. If the soaking depth is relatively shallow and the battery is not submerged, it can continue to be used. The effects of an electric vehicle being soaked in water: 1. Damage to the vehicle body: After being soaked in water, the metal parts of the chassis and body will corrode, leading to rust over time. This not only affects the vehicle's appearance but also poses safety hazards. 2. Damage to the battery: If the battery of an electric vehicle is soaked in water, it may short-circuit and fail to function properly. In severe cases, the battery may be rendered completely unusable or even explode, causing unnecessary trouble.

Is the Vehicle Registration Certificate Required for Annual Vehicle Inspection?

For vehicles over 6 years old, the exemption from online review is changed to requiring online annual inspection. During the annual inspection, materials such as the vehicle license, compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate, and motor vehicle safety technical inspection qualification certificate need to be provided, but the vehicle registration certificate is not required. The consequences of overdue vehicle inspection are as follows: 1. Vehicles that fail to participate in the annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road; 2. Vehicles on the road without timely annual inspection will be penalized with 3 points and a fine; 3. In the event of a traffic accident involving a vehicle that has not undergone inspection, the party involved will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not compensate; 4. Driving on the road without timely annual inspection is considered illegal driving and may result in vehicle seizure; 5. According to the "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," vehicles that fail to obtain the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period will be forcibly scrapped.

How Long Can a 7-Speed Dry Dual Clutch Transmission Last?

7-speed dry dual clutch transmissions typically come with an official warranty of 3 years or 100,000 kilometers. In theory, transmissions from any manufacturer can last between 10 to 20 years. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the lifespan of the transmission unless a major safety incident occurs. Relevant information about transmissions is as follows: 1. Introduction: A device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion. It is used to alter the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. Gear-driven transmissions generally consist of a housing and several gears. 2. Function: While driving, to adapt to different operating conditions, the vehicle's driving force and speed need to vary within a certain range. Since the existing engine's torque and speed variation range cannot meet this requirement, a transmission is installed.

Should the clutch be fully depressed for hill-start parking?

Hill-start parking requires fully depressing the clutch. During the driving test, you must press the clutch when braking for hill-start parking. The clutch serves to cut off engine power during gear shifts or when stopping. The exclamation mark on the dashboard indicates three possible scenarios: 1. An exclamation mark inside a circled parenthesis: Brake pad damage or insufficient brake fluid. Solution: Release the parking brake and check if brake fluid is low. If the light remains on, visit a repair shop to replace the brake pads. 2. An exclamation mark inside a triangle: External light malfunction. Solution: Inspect the lights for faults. If no issue is found but the light persists, seek professional repair. 3. A yellow parenthesis with an exclamation mark: Tire pressure anomaly. Solution: Check for punctures or air leaks. If none, drive slowly to locate an auto repair shop, car care center, or roadside service for inflation. Monitor the dashboard afterward. If the warning light remains, access the vehicle's central console settings to recheck tire pressure. The light will turn off once normal pressure is detected.
