Subaru is equipped with a longitudinally-mounted engine. Longitudinally-mounted engine: The Subaru engine is installed at a lower position in the vehicle body, which often results in a lower center of gravity for Subaru cars and a more stable chassis. Additionally, due to its longitudinal mounting, the vibrations generated during engine operation are significantly reduced, enhancing the vehicle's comfort. This is why Subaru has continued to use this engine configuration. Advantages of longitudinally-mounted engines: A longitudinally-mounted engine can lower the vehicle's center of gravity by 15cm. The horizontal movement of the pistons further improves the balance of engine operation, which means that any vehicle equipped with a longitudinally-mounted engine exhibits high stability. This is why top-tier sports cars like Porsche and Ferrari adopt horizontally-mounted longitudinally-oriented engines.

What type of engine oil does the Crown sedan require?

The Crown sedan requires 5W20 engine oil. 5W20 is the viscosity grade of the engine oil, which is classified according to the SAE standard. The smaller the number before the W, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, the lower the ambient temperature it can be used in, and the better its ability to protect the engine during cold starts. The Toyota Crown comes in four models and seven grades, all equipped with a 3.0L dual VVTI engine, a 6-speed automatic transmission, and a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration. The vehicle's dimensions are 5020mm in length, 1805mm in width, and 1480mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2925mm.

How to Call for Fuel Delivery When Your Car Runs Out of Gas?

Owners can call the local road administration hotline to request fuel delivery assistance, though a service fee applies. 1. Fuel delivery pricing: The base price for emergency fuel delivery typically starts at 100 yuan, with additional charges based on the amount of fuel required and the vehicle's location. 2. Important notes: Some auto insurance policies include complimentary fuel delivery services, so it's advisable to check your policy before calling for assistance. If your vehicle runs out of fuel on the road, first move it to a safe area, activate the hazard lights, and place a triangular warning sign 50-100 meters behind the vehicle. On highways, the warning sign should be placed 150-200 meters behind the vehicle. In windy conditions, secure the warning sign with rocks or other heavy objects to prevent it from being blown over, ensuring your safety. After setting up the warning sign, return to your vehicle to await fuel delivery assistance.

What is the name of the ring inside the tire?

The ring inside the tire is called the wheel hub, also known as the rim or steel ring. It is a cylindrical metal component used to support the tire and is an important part of automotive components. When driving, special attention should be paid to the maintenance of the wheel hub, as it is prone to accumulating dirt. If not cleaned for a long time, it may corrode and deform, potentially leading to safety hazards. In the market, wheel hubs can be categorized into steel wheel hubs and alloy wheel hubs based on material. The main advantages of steel wheel hubs are their simple manufacturing process, relatively low cost, and strong resistance to metal fatigue. Alloy wheel hubs are lighter in weight, have lower inertial resistance, higher manufacturing precision, and less deformation during high-speed rotation. They also help improve the car's straight-line driving performance, reduce tire rolling resistance, and consequently decrease fuel consumption.

What are the reasons for car headlights not working?

The reasons for car headlights not working include: blown headlight fuse, burnt-out headlight bulb, damaged headlight relay and combination switch, or poor contact in the headlight wiring. Car owners can visit a nearby repair shop or 4S store for a detailed inspection of the vehicle. Solutions for car headlights not working: 1.
