Displaying an engine oil temperature of 120 degrees Celsius while driving is not normal. Generally, the oil temperature should remain between 70 and 90 degrees Celsius during normal driving conditions. If it exceeds 100 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to stop and check the engine oil. Here are the solutions: 1. Solution for high temperature: The owner can repair or replace the engine radiator and clean the radiator fins. If the engine oil temperature is too high, immediate action should be taken to avoid irreversible damage. 2. Additional information: Engine oil primarily serves to protect and lubricate the engine. The relationship between engine oil and the engine is mutually indispensable. An engine cannot function properly without oil, and oil loses its value if not used in conjunction with an engine. Therefore, the two complement each other. Given the importance of engine oil, selecting the right oil should be done with great care.

Does the Mercedes-Benz E260 need throttle body adaptation after cleaning?

Mercedes-Benz E260 requires throttle body adaptation after cleaning. Non-disassembly cleaning: When cleaning the throttle body, it can be done without disassembly. However, the intake sealing areas must be thoroughly cleaned. The idle speed control valve must be removed for proper cleaning. Both disassembled and non-disassembled cleaning methods for fuel injectors have their pros and cons. Generally, service stations recommend non-disassembly cleaning to avoid unnecessary waste, such as needing to replace sealing rings or gaskets after disassembly, or encountering oil leaks during the disassembly/reassembly process which may cause delays. Remember the hose positions: When removing the throttle body, there are several air hoses connected around it. When these hoses need to be removed, be sure to clearly remember their positions so they can be properly reinstalled after cleaning.

What items should be maintained for a car at 15,000 kilometers?

For a car at 15,000 kilometers, the following maintenance items should be performed: 1. Replace the engine oil and oil filter; if the engine speed is unstable during idling or starting, a throttle cleaning can be added. Typically, the replacement cycle for the air filter is 20,000-30,000 kilometers, and for the fuel filter, it is 40,000-60,000 kilometers. 2. Air filter: The engine inhales a large amount of air during operation. If the air is not filtered, the dust in it can accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinder. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can also cause severe "cylinder scoring." The function of the air filter is to remove dust and particles from the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinder. 3. Fuel filter: The fuel filter provides clean fuel to the engine by filtering out water and impurities from the gasoline. This optimizes engine performance and provides the best protection for the engine.
