When the car prompts to change the engine oil, it should be done immediately. At the same time, it is necessary to inspect the car engine and other components to confirm the cause of the fault prompt and change the oil. After troubleshooting the cause of the fault prompt and replacing the car engine oil, the oil change prompt will automatically disappear. Engine oil plays a role in lubricating and reducing friction, assisting in cooling, sealing and preventing leaks, preventing rust and corrosion, and cushioning shocks in the engine. The method for changing car engine oil is: 1. Remove the air filter, clean it with an air pump, and reinstall it; 2. Lift the car, unscrew the drain plug to drain the oil, and remove the oil filter; 3. Add approximately 3.5 liters of engine oil.

What is the tire size of the CFMOTO 650MT?

The CFMOTO 650MT uses Metzeler Z8 model tires, with front and rear tire specifications of 120/70R17 and 160/60R17 respectively. Compared to the Metzeler M5, these tires are more suitable for highway cruising. The functions of automobile tires: Automobile tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working together with the suspension system to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness, maintaining excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bearing the weight of the vehicle. The parameters of a tire represent: production date, tire specifications. Taking a tire model of 185/60R17 89H as an example, the tire parameters respectively represent: 185 indicates the tire width is 185mm; 60 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%; R indicates the tire has a radial structure; 17 indicates the rim diameter is 17 inches; 89 indicates the load index; H indicates the speed rating.

Can Sinopec and private gas station fuels be mixed?

Fuels from different gas stations and different brands can be mixed as long as they have the same octane rating. If the octane ratings are different, even fuels from the same brand should not be mixed, as this can lead to abnormal combustion, causing engine knocking. Knocking not only damages the combustion chamber but also directly affects the normal operation of the engine, and in severe cases, may lead to engine damage. To find out which octane rating your car requires, you can refer to the vehicle's user manual or check the fuel cap for the specified octane rating. What to do if you add the wrong gasoline: If you add gasoline with a higher octane rating than required by your car, for example, adding 95 octane when 92 is specified, you can simply switch back to 92 octane after the current fuel is consumed. If you add gasoline with a lower octane rating than required, for example, adding 92 octane when 95 is specified, you can add a high anti-knock fuel additive. Alternatively, you can drain the fuel and refill with 95 octane gasoline.

Why does a car drip water in summer?

It is a very normal phenomenon for a car's exhaust pipe to drip water in summer. The reason why a car's exhaust pipe drips water is that water and carbon dioxide are produced after the gasoline is completely burned, which indicates that the engine is working normally and the atomization effect is good. If the exhaust pipe emits mist, it indicates that the engine is in excellent condition. The reasons for the drainage of the air conditioning system are as follows: 1. Reason one: Due to the high temperature inside the car, the cooling system needs to be activated to reduce the temperature inside the car. At this time, the moisture in the hot air inside the car will condense on the surface of the evaporator's heat-absorbing fins, which have a very low temperature. The water droplets are collected by the plastic shell of the evaporator and discharged out of the car through the pipes. 2. Reason two: The low-pressure pipes of the car air conditioner are not wrapped with insulating foam, and the surface of the pipes is prone to condensing moisture in the air. The water droplets will also drip down from the lowest point of the pipes.

How to Solve the Sunroof Rattling Issue After Sun Exposure?

To address the rattling issue, inspect the sunroof sliding rails and consider applying a small amount of lubricant. Check the sunroof's fastening condition, as looseness may also cause rattling. Adjust the sunroof screws to eliminate the noise. The sunroof sealing strip, when exposed to prolonged rain or sunlight, is prone to aging. Rubber conditioner can temporarily restore the strip's performance. Open the sunroof fully and spray rubber conditioner onto the sealing strip. Effects of prolonged sun exposure on the car: The engine is more likely to develop issues. Voltage instability may occur under high temperatures. The fuel system is prone to problems. High temperatures can alter the car's paint. The interior is susceptible to aging in high temperatures. How to deal with car sun exposure in summer: After a car is exposed to the sun in summer, the interior temperature rises. You can use the air conditioning's external circulation mode combined with opening the windows to cool down. Additionally, when parking, choose a shaded spot if possible. If not, use a sunshade, which is made of foil material and is easy to fold and carry.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Haval H6 in liters?

2017 Haval H6 has a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the 2017 Haval H6 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2017 Haval H6 uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 6.7 to 8.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 699 to 866 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow the fuel to expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked tank capacity.
