Toyota's original 0w20 oil is fully synthetic. In addition, GAC Toyota's engine oil is also fully synthetic. Fully synthetic oil is made from the better components of crude oil and shows significant performance advantages compared to mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil. Oil Performance: The performance of 0w20 oil is generally moderate. Applicable Vehicle Models: The 0W-20 oil is suitable for FAW/GAC Toyota models but not for engines of types 5A-FE, 8A-FE, and 1FZ-FE. The oil change interval is 5000 kilometers or one year, but in practice, further judgment should be made based on the vehicle's actual condition. Precautions for Using Engine Oil: Under the premise of ensuring reliable lubrication for the engine, engine oil with lower viscosity should be selected. High-viscosity oil, except for use in southern summers, is only suitable for some severely worn engines. Choosing high-viscosity oil will increase the resistance during engine operation, thereby increasing fuel consumption. Selecting oil with excessively low viscosity may result in low oil pressure, insufficient lubricating film strength, and poor sealing. Therefore, the correct choice of engine oil should be based on the vehicle's condition and the season.

What is the Difference Between Rear-Wheel Drive and Front-Wheel Drive?

The difference between rear-wheel drive and front-wheel drive lies in their driving methods: rear-wheel drive involves the engine driving the rear wheels, pushing the entire vehicle forward; front-wheel drive involves the engine driving the front wheels, pulling the entire vehicle forward. Rear-wheel drive vehicles tend to exhibit oversteer characteristics, and in severe cases, counter-steering may be required to correct the vehicle's posture, otherwise it may lose control. Due to their driving method, rear-wheel drive is typically used in SUVs, sports cars, and mid-to-high-end sedans. Front-wheel drive vehicles are prone to understeer, with weight distribution mostly concentrated at the front, making them noticeably front-heavy when cornering and unsuitable for aggressive handling maneuvers, though they perform fine for everyday driving. In terms of power performance, rear-wheel drive indeed provides greater driving force.

How to Disconnect the Battery Negative Terminal?

Disconnecting the battery negative terminal involves the following steps: 1. Open the two fastening buttons of the thermal insulation cover, lift the red and black insulation caps above the positive and negative terminals, and locate the tightening nut of the battery negative terminal. 2. Use a wrench to loosen the tightening nut of the negative terminal, then gently pry open the fastening block with a flat-head screwdriver, and directly pull out the negative terminal. During the disconnection process, it is crucial to follow the sequence of disconnecting the negative terminal first, followed by the positive terminal. Accidentally touching the car metal is equivalent to connecting the battery's positive and negative terminals, which can not only cause a short circuit in the car battery but may also lead to sparking in severe cases. It is recommended to seek professional assistance at a 4S store for disconnection.
