The engines used by Hongqi are produced by the Tianjin FAW Toyota Engine Factory, and these engines are domestically manufactured. The engine models used by Hongqi are mostly CA4GC. For example, the Hongqi HS5 is equipped with a 2.0T new CA4GC inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 165 kW and a maximum torque of 340 Nm. For the daily maintenance of Hongqi engines, the following methods can be applied: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust system and usage conditions. For diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate; When the oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and sticky substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing the oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides in the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What are the effects of high tire pressure in cars?

The friction and adhesion of tires will decrease, affecting braking performance; it will cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerate localized wear of the tread pattern in the central part of the tire, affecting tire lifespan; increase vehicle body vibration, indirectly impacting the lifespan of other components; it will cause excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity, and increasing the load on the car during driving. According to the provisions and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the tire pressures for different tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; the maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5bar. Normal tire pressure in winter: In winter, tire pressure should be based on the standard tire pressure of the car, with an appropriate increase of about 0.2bar. Normal tire pressure in summer: Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure for car tires is sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures.

What are the types of license plates?

License plates can be categorized by color into white, blue, yellow, and black. Based on their usage, they can be divided into military and police plates (including military vehicle plates and armed police plates) and civilian vehicle plates. Classification by color: License plate colors include white, blue, yellow, and black. Among them, white represents military and police plates. Blue is for ordinary small vehicles. Yellow is for ordinary large vehicles. Black is used by foreign investors in China or important figures. Classification by usage: Civilian vehicle plates, armed police plates, and military vehicle plates. General civilian vehicle plates consist of the abbreviation of the province plus the city code followed by five digits (six digits for new energy vehicles), which may also include letters. Armed police plates have the following structure: the first part represents the armed police; the second part is a two-digit abbreviation for the province, autonomous region, or municipality; the third part is a five-digit number, with the first digit representing the armed police sequence; the fourth part starts with the abbreviation of the province, municipality, or autonomous region, followed by four digits, and ends with the type of police. Military vehicle plates have three parts: the first part is a Chinese celestial stem and earthly branch, representing the sequence of the People's Liberation Army branches; the second part is an English letter, representing subordinate classifications; the third part is a five-digit number, which is classified as military secret.

What is the typical highway fuel consumption for an SUV?

SUV highway fuel consumption typically ranges between 1.6 to 2.0 liters per 100 kilometers. Definition of fuel consumption: Fuel consumption refers to the standardized measurement of a vehicle's liters per 100 kilometers under constant-speed driving conditions, as specified by national regulations for certain vehicle types. Factors affecting fuel consumption: These include vehicle condition, driving habits, road conditions, vehicle weight, and load capacity. Actual fuel consumption should be considered comprehensively from multiple aspects. For example, some drivers accelerate slowly, maintain steady speeds, and brake gently, resulting in relatively low fuel consumption. Others exhibit the opposite behavior - frequently overtaking and performing emergency braking, which inevitably leads to higher fuel consumption.

Can vehicles be inspected during the National Day holiday?

Vehicle inspection is not available during the National Day holiday. Vehicle annual inspection schedule: For safety inspections, vehicles must be inspected every two years within the first six years, and annually thereafter. The inspection month is determined by the registration month shown on the vehicle license. Vehicle inspection precautions: Exterior appearance: Avoid excessive customization as it may lead to inspection failure. Unnecessary modifications not only incur additional costs but also result in inspection rejection. Most importantly, never replace the vehicle body or engine without authorization. Additionally, refrain from purchasing vehicles of unclear origin to avoid legal consequences.
