Car air conditioning should be used flexibly according to actual conditions: 1. Consider road conditions: Use fresh air mode on highways. Due to wind resistance and high speed, it's not suitable to open windows on highways. Prolonged use of recirculation mode may cause hypoxia in the brain, affecting reaction and judgment, which is very dangerous. Additionally, air quality on highways is generally good with low exhaust concentration, making fresh air mode preferable. In crowded urban areas or during rush hours when vehicle exhaust concentration is high, switch to recirculation mode decisively. 2. Consider vehicle condition: New cars contain high concentrations of toxic gases like formaldehyde. For the first 3-6 months after purchasing a new car, it's recommended to use fresh air mode along with opening windows to enhance air circulation and dilute toxic gas concentrations. 3. Consider air quality: In areas with severe PM2.5 pollution (above 50) where air quality isn't good, use recirculation mode to avoid excessive inhalation of PM2.5 particles into the lungs.

What is SL10W-40 engine oil?

SL is the grade designation of engine oil, and 10W-40 is the model of engine oil. 10W represents the extreme temperature the oil can withstand in low-temperature environments, while 40 indicates the oil's high-temperature resistance. Different types of engines require different types of engine oil, which can be checked in the vehicle's manual. Below is some relevant information about engine oil: 1. Functions of engine oil: Engine oil lubricates and reduces friction, assists in cooling, seals against leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and provides shock absorption. It is often referred to as the "blood" of a car. Choosing the right oil and changing it regularly can maintain the engine in good condition and extend its lifespan. 2. Choosing engine oil: When selecting engine oil, it's not about choosing the most expensive one, but rather selecting the right oil based on the characteristics of the car's engine and driving habits. It can be categorized based on winter and summer usage. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade, while in summer, due to higher temperatures, there's no need to choose an oil with a better low-temperature viscosity grade.

What grade is SN10W40 engine oil?

Engine oil 10W40 refers to the viscosity grade of the oil. The number before the 'W' represents the cold-start performance—the smaller the number, the easier it is to start the engine in cold weather. Common grades include 0W, 5W, 10W, and 15W. The number 40 indicates the oil's viscosity characteristics at high temperatures. Higher viscosity oils (with higher numbers) may be more suitable for high-speed driving or heavily loaded vehicles. Below is an introduction to engine oil: 1. Functions of engine oil: Engine oil lubricates and reduces friction, assists in cooling, provides sealing to prevent leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and acts as a shock absorber. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Choosing the right oil and changing it regularly helps maintain the engine in good condition and extends its lifespan. 2. Choosing engine oil: When selecting engine oil, the most expensive option isn't necessarily the best. Instead, the choice should be based on the characteristics of the car's engine and driving habits. Engine oil can also be categorized based on winter and summer use. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade, while in summer, due to higher temperatures, an oil with a better low-temperature viscosity grade is not necessary.

What is the difference between SJ and SN engine oil?

SN has a higher performance rating than SJ. The 'S' stands for gasoline engine oil (if it were 'C', it would be diesel engine oil), and the following letters range from A to N, with later letters indicating higher performance levels. Therefore, SN is superior to SJ. The oil quality is graded from low to high as follows: SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, SM, and SN. Below is some relevant information about engine oil: 1. Function of engine oil: Engine oil lubricates and reduces friction in the engine, aids in cooling, seals against leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and cushions shocks. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Choosing the right oil and changing it regularly helps maintain the engine in good condition and extends its lifespan. 2. Choosing engine oil: The best oil isn't necessarily the most expensive; rather, the right oil should be selected based on the characteristics of the car's engine and the driver's habits. Engine oil can also be categorized for winter and summer use. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade, while in summer, when temperatures are high, there's no need to choose oil with a superior low-temperature viscosity grade.

What to Do When Brake Fluid is Low?

Brake fluid is a liquid that enhances the braking performance in a vehicle's transmission system. Insufficient brake fluid can lead to braking failure. Below is a detailed introduction to the impacts of low brake fluid and usage precautions: Impact Factors: Brake fluid transmits the driver's braking force to the vehicle's brakes. The quality and proper use of brake fluid directly affect the vehicle's braking performance and driving safety. If the brake fluid is low, do not continue driving, as air can enter the brake lines or wheel cylinders. Since air is compressible, it can cause insufficient pressure in the wheel cylinders, leading to weak or failed braking. Brake Fluid Usage Precautions: If gasoline, diesel, or windshield washer fluid mixes with the brake fluid, it can severely impair braking effectiveness, and the fluid should be replaced immediately. For vehicles that have traveled 40,000 km or have used the same brake fluid for over 2 years, the fluid may deteriorate due to prolonged use and should be replaced promptly. Vehicles equipped with a brake fluid level warning system should monitor the warning light to ensure it functions correctly. The warning sensor should perform well, and the brake fluid should be replenished in time when low. Stored brake fluid should be maintained between the minimum and maximum capacity marks.

What is the Principle of Tesla's Kinetic Energy Recovery?

The principle of kinetic energy recovery in electric vehicles is to convert the motor into a generator, recovering the energy generated during braking and storing it in the high-voltage battery. More information about the kinetic energy recovery system is as follows: 1. Performance: During normal driving, a car inevitably needs to decelerate. At this time, the engine's power output is paused, and an additional resistance load is added to consume the vehicle's forward inertia. This resistance load device is the brake. During braking, the vehicle's forward inertia works on the brake, converting it into heat energy of the friction pads, which is irreversibly dissipated. The current basic solution principle is to store the vehicle's forward inertia using a device or equipment for reuse when needed. This device is the kinetic energy recovery system. 2. Introduction: The kinetic energy recovery system is a technology used by FIA in Formula 1 racing cars, abbreviated as KERS. A typical kinetic energy recovery system integrates battery control components through the ECU to control the engine and the kinetic energy recovery system. When collecting energy, the engine and motor installed in the car act as generators, switching to motor mode when releasing energy. The lithium battery in the car is used to store the electrical energy collected by the engine, while the multifunction steering wheel has an acceleration button to control the duration of energy release.
