It is a semi-synthetic engine oil Introduction to Semi-Synthetic Engine Oil: Semi-synthetic oil is a type of automotive engine oil. It is formulated using semi-synthetic base oils, specifically Group III base oils internationally. This lubricant is derived from mineral oil refined through hydrocracking technology. It consists of a 4:6 ratio blend of mineral oil and fully synthetic oil. The purity of semi-synthetic oil is very close to that of fully synthetic oil, but its cost is slightly higher than mineral oil. It serves as an ideal transitional product from mineral oil to synthetic oil. Introduction to Engine Oil: The function of engine oil (lubricant) is to lubricate and clean the engine. It can be categorized into three types: mineral oil, synthetic oil, and semi-synthetic oil. Both fully synthetic and semi-synthetic oils are composed of base oils and additives. Generally, fully synthetic oil contains 100% non-conventional, high-performance fluids. Semi-synthetic oil (also known as 'blended oil') contains a smaller percentage of these high-performance fluids and includes conventional mineral oil.

Can a Car Battery Be Jump-Started in the Rain?

Yes, a car battery can be jump-started in the rain, but the connectors must not be exposed to rainwater. Here are the relevant details: Connection: When charging in the rain, first connect the vehicle-side components before connecting to the charging station. This prevents electric leakage, as the plugs and sockets on the vehicle side will establish a live connection safely, avoiding electric shock. Parking: When parking, try to choose a higher ground position. Staying in low-lying areas for extended periods may cause the battery or charging port to become submerged in water. Check the Plug: Inspect the plug to ensure there is no accumulated water or debris, guaranteeing proper contact for normal charging. Cover: After charging is complete, promptly cover the charging port tightly when removing the plug to prevent water ingress.

What to Do When Your 5-Year Driver's License Expires?

If your driver's license has been valid for 5 years, you don't need to renew it yet. The annual review system has been abolished, and the renewal period is now every 6 years. If your driver's license has been expired for more than one year but less than two years without renewal, you can restore its normal use by passing the subject one exam. However, if it has been expired for more than two years, you will need to reapply for a new license. A driver's license, also known as a 'driving license,' is an official document issued by the government's transportation department to individuals who qualify to drive, typically in the form of a card. To obtain a driver's license, you must meet the minimum age requirement and pass a driving test. The license usually specifies the types of motor vehicles the holder is permitted to drive, such as motorcycles, cars, trucks, buses, etc.

What Causes the Yellow Engine Light in a Porsche Cayenne?

The yellow engine light in a Porsche Cayenne indicates a fault in the engine. Generally, when a warning light illuminates on the instrument panel, it signifies an abnormality in the corresponding component. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Damaged Engine Oxygen Sensor: There are many reasons why the engine warning light may illuminate, one of which could be a damaged oxygen sensor. The vehicle's onboard computer uses the oxygen sensor to monitor the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gases. Based on the information transmitted by the sensor, it controls the engine's fuel injection quantity and adjusts the air-fuel ratio. If the oxygen sensor is damaged, the onboard computer cannot receive the transmitted information, causing the engine warning light to illuminate. 2. Damaged Air Flow Sensor: Another possible cause is a damaged air flow sensor. If the air flow sensor is damaged, the onboard computer cannot detect the intake air volume information, which will naturally cause the engine warning light to illuminate and also affect the engine's normal operation.

What does the pre-test for Subject 2 mean?

Subject 2 pre-test refers to the mock test at the examination site. Here are the precautions for Subject 2 test: Reversing into the garage: The main points for deduction include pressing the line while reversing, the car not entering the garage, exceeding the time limit, and not following the prescribed route. Reversing into the garage must be completed within 210 seconds, exceeding the time limit will result in disqualification, not following the sequence will also result in disqualification, and pay attention to the 30cm margin issue while reversing. Parallel parking: The main points for deduction in parallel parking include the turn signal, 30cm margin, and pressing the line. Right-angle turn: The main points for deduction in the right-angle turn are the turn signal and pressing the line. Operating the turn signal incorrectly after entering the test area will result in a 10-point deduction.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise in Automatic Transmission?

Here are the specific reasons for abnormal noise in automatic transmission: Bearing wear and damage: When bearings wear out, the gap increases and the fit precision decreases; when bearings are damaged, they cannot operate normally, resulting in abnormal sounds and even causing damage to transmission components, leading to further malfunctions. Long-term failure to replace transmission fluid: The transmission fluid becomes thick and loses its fluidity, which means there is no protective layer between components, leading to direct friction that exacerbates mechanical wear and causes abnormal noise. Using inferior transmission fluid: Inferior transmission fluid has poor heat resistance and is prone to oxidation, forming sludge and residue that can clog filters and oil passages, increasing friction between internal components of the automatic transmission and causing abnormal noise in the vehicle.

How many points are deducted for speeding by 15%?

Speeding by 15% results in a deduction of 3 points. The introduction to speeding penalties is as follows: Penalty regulations: Speeding within 10% of the road speed limit results in a warning without point deduction, speeding between 10%—20% results in a 3-point deduction, speeding between 20%—50% results in a 6-point deduction, and speeding over 50% results in a 12-point deduction. The formula for calculating the percentage of speeding: (Speed/Limit speed—1)×100, which calculates the percentage of speeding. For example, if the speed limit is 70km/h and the vehicle speed is 80km/h, divide 80 by 70, subtract 1, and multiply by 100 to get 14.28, meaning the speeding is 14%. If the speed limit is 60km/h and the vehicle speed is 70km/h, then divide 70 by 60, subtract 1, and multiply by 100, resulting in 16% speeding.
