The Tayron should use 5W-40 engine oil. Differences between 5W-30 and 5W-40 engine oil: 5W-40 offers better oil stability than 5W-30 under extremely high-temperature conditions in the engine. For older vehicles, using 5W-30 oil may result in slightly louder engine noise compared to 5W-40. For oils of the same quality grade, 5W-30 has better fluidity than 5W-40, which helps reduce fuel consumption and dissipate engine heat more quickly (low-viscosity oils have better fluidity than high-viscosity oils). For engines that strictly require 5W-40, using 5W-30 may lead to higher-than-normal oil consumption (commonly known as "burning oil"). Meaning of engine oil grades: These indicate the viscosity and quality of the oil. Gasoline engine oil quality grades are classified as: SA, SB, SC, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, SM, with quality increasing from left to right. The "S" stands for gasoline engine oil, and the following letters represent the grade. Low-temperature viscosity grades are: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W, with smaller numbers indicating better cold-start performance. "W" stands for "winter," indicating low-temperature performance. For example, 0W oil freezes at -35°C, while 5W oil freezes at -30°C.

What is the Function of a Car Sway Bar?

The functions of a car sway bar include: 1. Enhancing the rigidity of the car body, preventing deformation and misalignment of the four wheels. 2. Balancing the torque of the four wheels, thereby extending the lifespan of the chassis. 3. Reducing the impact force on both wheels, prolonging the life of the shock absorbers. 4. Preventing alignment displacement and effectively protecting components. 5. Improving driving maneuverability and ride comfort. 6. Ensuring stable cornering and enhancing driving safety. Below is an introduction to car sway bars: 1. The technical name for an anti-roll sway bar is 'strut bar,' which is one of the most basic modifications for cars. 2. The 'strut bar' is mainly installed on the front suspension of a car, significantly improving handling, with the most noticeable effect among all modification projects. 3. A sway bar works when there is a difference in the horizontal height of the left and right wheels, preventing torsion of the bar itself and generating anti-roll resistance to suppress body roll. In other words, the sway bar does not function when the left and right suspensions move synchronously up and down; it only comes into play when the left and right suspensions move asynchronously due to road undulations or turning maneuvers.

What color car stickers are suitable for a gray car?

Here is an introduction to the colors of car stickers suitable for a gray car: 1. Front windshield sticker in natural color (close to colorless): Provides good visibility, allowing you to see and react in time when emergency braking is needed, especially when driving at night. 2. Side window stickers in light green: Offers a bit of privacy inside the car. Light green with some reflective effect is ideal, as it makes the interior look like a mirror from the outside, achieving privacy without needing a very dark color. 3. Rear windshield stickers in light green or colorless: Complements the colors of other windshield stickers. Below is additional information on the classification of car stickers: 1. Black adhesive car stickers: Made of black calendered-grade film, they have excellent weather resistance and superior flat application performance, with a service life of 1-3 years. 2. Transparent car stickers: Transparent in color, they absorb ink vividly, do not peel off, leave no residue, and are easy to apply and remove. 3. White adhesive car stickers: Their adhesive strength is slightly inferior to black adhesive stickers, but they are cost-effective and widely used.

What is the function of a diesel fuel injection pump?

Diesel fuel injection pump functions: increasing fuel pressure, controlling injection timing, and regulating fuel injection quantity. The fuel injection pump is the 'heart' of a diesel engine, and it must be properly maintained. The fuel injection pump is a crucial component of automotive diesel engines, consisting of an integrated assembly that includes the fuel injection pump and governor. The governor ensures low-speed operation of the diesel engine and imposes a maximum speed limit, maintaining a specific relationship between injection quantity and engine speed. Fuel injection pumps are mainly categorized into three types: plunger-type fuel injection pumps, injector-type fuel pumps, and rotary distributor-type fuel injection pumps.
