When refueling a Honda Civic, it is recommended to use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 92. Below are the differences between 92 and 95 octane gasoline: 1. Heptane content: 95 octane gasoline contains 5% heptane, while 92 octane gasoline contains 8% heptane. 2. Isooctane content: 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane, whereas 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane. 3. Anti-knock properties: Different octane ratings indicate different anti-knock properties of the fuel. The higher the octane rating, the better the anti-knock performance. 95 octane gasoline has better anti-knock properties compared to 92 octane gasoline.

In which year did the China V vehicle emission standard come into effect?

The China V vehicle emission standard was officially implemented on July 1, 2017. Here is more information about China's vehicle emission standards: 1. The China V standard refers to the National Fifth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard. After its implementation, the restrictions on motor vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter became more stringent, with single-vehicle emissions reduced by at least 30-50%. 2. After the implementation of the China V emission standard, nitrogen oxide emissions from new standard light-duty vehicles could be reduced by 25%, and heavy-duty vehicle nitrogen oxide emissions could be reduced by 43%, further decreasing vehicle pollutant emissions.

Is Chassis Armor Necessary?

Chassis armor is necessary. Chassis armor is a rust-proof treatment for the car's underbody, which involves spraying a flexible, rubberized coating onto the car's chassis. This coating quickly hardens after application, becoming tough and providing protection against impacts, rust, and corrosion. The specific functions of chassis armor include: 1. While driving, it's inevitable that flying stones and gravel on the road may hit or scrape the car's chassis, causing damage. Chassis armor effectively resists such impacts and scrapes, protecting the chassis. 2. In humid climates, the chassis is prone to water accumulation and corrosion, leading to rust and damage. Chassis armor covers exposed metal, forming a protective layer that isolates it from external elements.

Can a Manual Transmission Car Shift Gears Without Pressing the Clutch?

Manual transmission cars cannot shift gears without pressing the clutch, as doing so may cause gear grinding in the transmission. When shifting gears, it is essential to quickly press the clutch pedal all the way down to ensure smooth gear changes. The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws. The output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine with the transmission, thereby cutting off or transferring the engine's power to the transmission.

Where to Check Tire Pressure Monitoring?

Tire pressure monitoring can be viewed by pressing the tire pressure monitoring button in the center console area. The tire pressure monitoring system is installed on the tires and is indirect. When the tire pressure decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the tire diameter to shrink, resulting in changes in speed. These speed variations trigger the WSB alarm system, alerting the driver to insufficient tire pressure. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tires. In automotive maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car—its failure can lead to the end of the vehicle's life—while tire pressure is akin to the car's blood pressure. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the vehicle's performance and power.

What does new energy vehicle mean?

New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new types of on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. New energy vehicles include four types: hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV, including solar-powered vehicles), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), and other new energy (such as supercapacitors, flywheels, and other high-efficiency energy storage devices) vehicles.
