It is not normal for acceleration to slow down after an oil change, and timely inspection and repair are required. Below is a detailed explanation of the possible reasons: Oil Quality Issues: The reason for slower acceleration after an oil change could be abnormal oil quality. When the oil used is of low quality, it may cause the vehicle's speed to decrease. Oil Viscosity Issues: The quality of engine oil for household cars is related to the vehicle's acceleration performance. The reason for slower acceleration after an oil change could be abnormal viscosity of the replaced oil. If the oil's viscosity is too high, acceleration will certainly not be as fast as with lower-viscosity oil. You can choose the oil viscosity based on your specific requirements.

Under what circumstances is the eco mode activated and used?

eco is activated and used when the vehicle speed does not exceed 120 km/h or when driving on smooth roads. The main principle of eco is: during vehicle operation, it comprehensively evaluates the automatic transmission gear, engine speed, and transmission oil temperature to control the engine speed with appropriate gear selection. The onboard computer calculates the optimal fuel amount to supply the engine for operation. As an energy-saving mode for vehicles, eco is primarily divided into active and passive types. The passive type does not have a dedicated button but incorporates a reminder function. When the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h, eco intelligently assesses the fuel consumption and displays it in green on the dashboard. The eco mode automatically deactivates when encountering uphill climbs or acceleration.
