The engine of the 2019 Outlander is domestically produced, not imported, and is classified as a joint-venture engine. The 2019 Outlander is equipped with two engine models: the 4J11 and the 4J12. The 4J11 engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 166 HP, a maximum power output of 122 kW at 6000 rpm, and a peak torque of 201 N·m. The 4J12 engine produces a maximum horsepower of 192 HP, a maximum power output of 141 kW at 6000 rpm, and a peak torque of 235 N·m. For daily maintenance of the 2019 Outlander's engine, the following methods are recommended: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB_CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, ensuring the standard meets or exceeds the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will degrade over time. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, potentially causing various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. As oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or activate the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass the filter and carry contaminants back to the lubrication points, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Periodically clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls. These substances mix with metal particles from component wear, forming sludge. In small amounts, the sludge remains suspended in the oil, but in larger quantities, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures the engine operates smoothly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

How to Match a Faulty Tire Pressure Sensor by Yourself?

Tire pressure monitoring sensor matching requires the use of specialized computer software. When replacing a new tire pressure sensor, it will have a new identification number, which needs to be reprogrammed into the computer software for matching. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts when the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure warning systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Introduction: It combines the advantages of both systems mentioned above. Direct sensors are installed in two diagonally opposite tires, along with a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only a direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires like a direct system.

What are the signs that a car is low on water?

Normally, there is no water level indicator light on the car dashboard. You can open the hood to check if the fluid level in the auxiliary tank is normal. Reasons for engine water shortage: Leaks in hose connections or the pipes themselves; cracks in the cylinder block, loose or damaged cylinder head gasket causing water leakage; damaged seals or sand holes in the oil cooler leading to water leakage; loose radiator cap; leakage in the heater core; or leaks in the three-way pipe can all cause the engine to run low on water. Consequences of engine water shortage: Low water levels in the engine cause the engine temperature to rise rapidly, reducing air intake capacity, leading to abnormal combustion, and increasing the likelihood of engine knocking. This results in decreased engine power, thermal degradation of components, and in severe cases, engine failure. How to check the engine water level: When the engine is hot, never open the radiator cap, as you may be scalded by splashing coolant or high-temperature steam. When the engine is cold, the fluid level should be between the upper and lower limits. If the fluid level is abnormal, promptly add coolant, ensuring the liquid level does not exceed the full mark after adding water. If you notice the coolant level drops rapidly in a short time, check the cooling system for leaks or visit a service station for inspection.

What to Do When a Minivan Is Locked Without the Key?

First, determine whether all the doors are locked when the key is locked inside. Some vehicles do not automatically lock the doors immediately after closing them, so try opening each one. Check the windows. If a window is not fully closed, use a slender rod to manipulate the internal lock mechanism with its bent end.

Will a car get damaged if left unused for several months?

Normally, a car won't get damaged if left unused for several months, but it can easily lead to deterioration of engine oil and transmission fluid, as well as battery drain. Therefore, it is recommended to start the car regularly for 30 minutes if it is parked for a long time. Easy to cause deterioration of engine oil and transmission fluid: Engine oil and transmission fluid can easily deteriorate when the car is parked for a long time. Under normal circumstances, this time should not exceed six months. Deteriorated oil will have a significant impact on the normal operation of the engine and transmission, losing functions such as lubrication, sealing, cooling, and rust prevention. Therefore, after the vehicle has been parked for a long time, a comprehensive maintenance should be performed, including replacing the engine oil and transmission fluid, to avoid excessive wear and shortened lifespan of the engine and transmission. Easy to cause battery drain: Cars generally use lead-acid batteries, which will self-discharge once the car is parked. Under normal conditions, the battery's self-discharge can reduce its capacity by more than 1% per day. After long-term self-discharge, sulfides will form on the surface of the battery plates, affecting the recharging effect and causing the vehicle to fail to start. Over time, the battery will be prematurely scrapped. Therefore, the vehicle should be started every two weeks for 30 minutes each time to keep the battery fully charged.

Is Parking on a Slope Seriously Damaging to the Car?

Parking on a slope for a short period has minimal impact on the vehicle, but prolonged parking can cause significant damage, primarily affecting the handbrake system and the vehicle's suspension. Impact on the Handbrake System: The handbrake secures the vehicle by using a steel cable to pull the brake shoes. When parked on a slope, the handbrake cable continuously bears the component of the vehicle's weight parallel to the slope. Over time, this can cause the cable to 'fatigue,' leading to loosening and a severe decline in the handbrake's locking force, resulting in reduced braking performance and a 'failure to hold' phenomenon. In severe cases, this may cause the vehicle to roll, creating serious safety hazards. If parking on a slope is unavoidable, manual transmission vehicles can be left in first gear to utilize the transmission's locking capability, thereby reducing the load on the handbrake cable. Impact on the Vehicle's Suspension: When parked on a slope, the suspension on the downhill side bears greater pressure. While short-term effects are negligible, prolonged exposure can lead to uneven aging and stiffness between the front and rear suspensions, reducing their lifespan. Aging suspension components can affect ride comfort, cause noises when passing over speed bumps, and negatively impact the vehicle's handling and tire longevity.
