T-Roc should use 5w30 engine oil. Reasons: Compared with 5w40, 5w30 has the same low-temperature fluidity but different high-temperature performance. 5w40 offers better high-temperature protection and sealing performance, but the increased viscosity leads to greater engine running resistance and higher fuel consumption. Considering the working characteristics of the T-Roc's engine, 5w30 engine oil is more suitable. Lubricating Oil: Lubricating oil is formulated from hydrocarbons refined from natural gas and crude oil. There is no clear international definition for synthetic oil, but generally, lubricating oil containing PAO is referred to as synthetic oil. Both laboratory and road tests have shown that this full synthetic oil ideally combines viscosity, lubrication, volatility, and cleanliness performance, maximizing engine protection while minimizing friction and fuel consumption.

Does a car need a break-in period?

Automobile break-in period is not only the adaptation between the driver and the car, but also the running-in between various contacting and friction components of the vehicle. Due to advancements in modern automobile manufacturing processes, the break-in period for new cars has been significantly shortened. The break-in period for new cars has the following characteristics: 1. More driving malfunctions: Due to factors such as improper assembly of components, new cars tend to have more driving malfunctions during the break-in period; 2. Higher fuel consumption: To ensure that new cars operate under light load during the break-in period, carburetor-equipped cars are installed with speed limiters, which can easily cause excessively rich air-fuel mixture, thereby increasing fuel consumption; 3. Lubricating oil is prone to deterioration: During the break-in period, the rough surfaces of components and the small gaps between them can cause the temperature of the lubricating oil to rise.

What type of oil does the Baojun 510 officially recommend?

Baojun 510's original factory oil specification is SM/GF-4, 5w-30. As a type of machinery, engines have common requirements for lubricating oil compared to general machinery, such as requiring appropriate viscosity, certain anti-oxidation, anti-wear, anti-corrosion, and viscosity-temperature performance requirements. Below is relevant information: 1. Engine oil: If the oil viscosity in the vehicle is too high, it can easily cause engine operation issues, reduce lubrication effectiveness, and lead to increased engine noise. 2. Engine: An engine (Engine) is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc.

What to Do When the Car Body is Dented?

The dented car body can be repaired using the following methods: 1. Use hot water. Hot water can restore the dented car body. The principle is simple: plastic softens when heated, and the dented area can be pushed out by heating it. Once the dent is restored to its original shape, immediately cool the area that was just exposed to hot water with prepared cold water to allow the rubber to contract and recover. 2. Use dent repair tools. Sometimes, the force generated by hot water expansion alone is far from enough to push out and repair the dent, and external force is needed. Dent repair tools can just meet this need. 3. Push by hand. Car owners can also try to remove one of the car body screws, reach into the inside of the dented area with their hand, and push hard from behind to restore it. However, if there are scratches along with the dent, it is necessary to go to a repair shop for repainting.

Do I Need to Replace the Tire if There Are Cracks in the Middle Groove?

Tires with cracks in the middle groove need to be replaced. Introduction to Tires: Tires are round, elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. They are usually installed on metal rims to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain driving performance. Precautions for Replacing Tires: Choose tires of the same specifications; replace the valve stem at the same time; pay attention to the installation direction and inflation; check tire pressure; perform a four-wheel alignment after replacement; when removing the tire, slightly loosen the fixing screws before lifting the vehicle partially with a jack. Select tires with guaranteed quality.

What are the reasons for the manual transmission key not turning?

Here are the situations where the manual transmission key cannot be turned: 1. External lock cylinders such as the door lock cylinder or trunk lock cylinder: The first step is to determine whether the mechanical teeth part of the key has been fully inserted. If it is not fully inserted, it cannot be turned. If it is already fully inserted but still cannot be turned, it is necessary to contact a professional repair agency for handling. Common reasons include the lock cylinder being frozen in winter, severe dirt inside the lock cylinder, or damage to the lock cylinder itself. 2. Internal ignition switch: This situation is mostly caused by the steering wheel lock being engaged. When the steering wheel is locked, the ignition switch cannot be turned on. To unlock the steering wheel lock, one hand needs to turn the steering wheel back and forth while the other hand turns the key back and forth to unlock it.

Where is the fuel tank cap switch for automatic transmission cars?

Automatic transmission cars have the fuel tank cap button located on the left side of the driver's seat. Below is more information about the fuel tank: 1. Refueling amount: It is appropriate to refuel when there is a quarter of the fuel left in the car's tank. If it is less than a quarter, it will affect the cooling ability of the car's fuel pump. The fuel consumption of the car is influenced by the engine's displacement, tire size specifications, vehicle weight, etc. 2. Fuel tank cap identification: The in-car switch may be in different locations, some on the floor to the left of the driver's seat, some on the panel of the left front door or on the center console, all marked with a fuel pump style.
