If it is a car with a turbocharged engine, it is necessary to use gasoline with an octane rating of 95 or higher (including 95). If it is a car with a naturally aspirated engine, 92 octane gasoline is sufficient. Below are the relevant details: 1. Gasoline standards: 93/97 octane gasoline adopts the National IV production standard, while 92 and 95 octane gasoline adopt the National V standard, which is more environmentally friendly. 95 octane gasoline not only has lower fuel consumption and is more fuel-efficient, but it also better protects the engine. 2. Meaning of the numbers before gasoline: The octane rating of gasoline actually represents its octane number. The higher the number, the better its anti-knock performance. The octane rating has little to do with the quality of the gasoline.

Can I get maintenance service across different 4S stores?

Can I get maintenance service across different 4S stores? Regardless of where the car was purchased, it can receive warranty maintenance at any of the manufacturer's 4S stores nationwide. Maintenance overview: No matter where the car was bought, it's eligible for warranty maintenance at any of the manufacturer's 4S stores across the country. As for some 4S stores charging customers cross-region management fees, such practices are non-compliant. If forced to pay, car owners can call the manufacturer's toll-free 400 number to file a complaint. Maintenance method for cross-region car purchases: If purchasing a vehicle from another region, the owner should take the free engine oil and oil filter provided by the delivering 4S store along with the car, which helps reduce future maintenance costs. Secondary dealers generally only sell cars without warranty or repair qualifications/capabilities. Owners may also investigate local secondary dealers.

What Insurance Should a Beginner Driving an Old Car Purchase?

Beginners driving old cars should purchase insurance such as collision insurance, third-party liability insurance, and no-deductible insurance. If the car is in its third year and has not yet purchased spontaneous combustion insurance, it is also necessary to be wary of "circuit aging causing spontaneous combustion." It is also time to consider spontaneous combustion insurance, and spending a small amount of money to purchase "spontaneous combustion insurance" is also very necessary. Definition of auto insurance: Auto insurance is a type of commercial insurance that compensates for personal injury or property damage caused by natural disasters or accidents to motor vehicles. Classification of auto insurance: Auto insurance is mainly divided into compulsory traffic insurance and commercial auto insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance is a type of insurance that must be purchased for every vehicle. Commercial auto insurance is selected based on the actual needs of the car owner. There are mainly four types of personnel liability insurance. Additional insurances mainly include: spontaneous combustion insurance, scratch insurance, glass insurance, engine water ingress insurance, and non-deductible insurance.

Does the Dongfeng Nissan P0846 fault need to be repaired?

Dongfeng Nissan P0846 fault needs to be repaired. The P0846 fault is a transmission pressure sensor fault, and the transmission valve body needs to be replaced. The symptoms of a damaged transmission valve body are: 1. After the transmission fails, the computer can detect it, the fault light will turn on to alert, and it will enter the lock gear state, which is the protection mode; 2. The transmission oil temperature is too high, causing the transmission to jerk. Taking the Tiida 2021 1.6L Manual Ledong Edition as an example: The manufacturer of this car is Dongfeng Nissan, the level is a compact car, the intake form is naturally aspirated, the maximum horsepower is 122ps, the maximum torque is 155nm, the transmission is a 5-speed manual, and the body type is a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback.

Can butter be used as a substitute for engine oil?

Butter cannot be used as a substitute for engine oil. Butter has poor lubrication effects at low temperatures. Without proper lubrication at low temperatures, machinery can easily develop issues. Choosing engine oil: Naturally aspirated engines have relatively general requirements for oil quality and can use mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil. If the car owner has a higher budget, fully synthetic oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate in harsher conditions, requiring higher-performance engine oil with better fluidity. Fully synthetic oil is recommended. Brand selection: For choosing a lubricant brand, if you prioritize long-lasting oil performance, Mobil lubricants can be selected; if you value the oil's engine-cleaning capabilities, Shell engine oil is recommended; for lubricants requiring strong oil film toughness, Castrol can be chosen. For example, turbocharged engines are prone to carbon deposits during high-speed operation, so Shell engine oil with strong cleaning capabilities can be selected.

Will Using Manual Mode All the Time Damage a Dual-Clutch Transmission?

Using manual mode all the time will not damage a dual-clutch transmission. Prolonged use of manual mode in a dual-clutch transmission does not cause harm to the transmission. Under manual mode, the transmission operates simply through gear transfer, and the vehicle's purely mechanical structure ensures the most stable working mode. Dual-clutch transmissions shift quickly: The shift time of a dual-clutch transmission is very short, even faster than that of a manual transmission, taking less than 0.2 seconds. When shifting a manual transmission, the driver needs to simultaneously control the clutch, gear lever, and throttle, which can be burdensome, especially for beginners, potentially causing driver stress and affecting driving safety. Dual-clutch transmissions have no torque loss during shifting: Inexperienced drivers often stall their manual transmission vehicles on the road, especially on slopes, and improper operation may risk damaging the engine and transmission.
