The Buick GL8 coolant reservoir generally requires about 3.5 liters. There is a dipstick scale inside the radiator, and the coolant should be filled up to the horizontal line on the dipstick. Alternatively, the coolant can be filled to the middle position between the upper mark (MAX) and the lower mark (MIN) on the scale. The middle of the scale is the most appropriate level, neither too low nor too high. Coolant prevents components from system failures, cracks, and other issues due to cooling problems in cold weather. It also manages rust prevention and prevents excessive scale buildup that could lead to pipe blockages. It has functions such as anti-corrosion, anti-scale, anti-boil, anti-freeze, and anti-rust.

How Long Can Unopened Antifreeze Be Stored?

Antifreeze can be stored unopened for 2-3 years. Antifreeze replacement cycle: Vehicle antifreeze generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. This is just a reference cycle. For commercial vehicles with longer mileage, the replacement cycle is shorter. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement should be based on actual usage. Check the antifreeze's condition; if it is found to be insufficient, replenish it promptly. If suspended particles, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are observed in the antifreeze, replace it immediately and clean the system. How to choose antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point. On the market, antifreeze is available in specifications with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region.

What is the working principle of the Li ONE?

The working principle of the Li ONE is: using a 1.2T engine as a generator to charge the battery pack, and then relying on the motor to output power for driving. This is also the common principle of range-extended electric vehicles. Advantages and disadvantages of range-extended electric vehicles: Long range, larger battery capacity. The Li ONE has a battery capacity of 40.5 kWh, with a pure electric range of over 180 kilometers. Combined with the engine's charging capability, its actual range far exceeds that of pure electric vehicles in the same class. The disadvantage is that compared to fuel vehicles in the same class, it has higher fuel consumption when driving at high speeds. Common range-extended electric vehicle models: In addition to the Li ONE, there are also the BMW i3, Buick VELITE5, Seres Huawei Smart Selection SF5, and VOYAH FREE, among others.

How Long Can You Drive After the Car Water Pump Fails?

After the car water pump fails, you should not continue driving and should have it repaired promptly. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the engine and other components, affecting the vehicle's lifespan. Below is a detailed introduction about the car water pump: 1. Overview: The car water pump is located at the engine's water outlet. Driven by the fan belt, it pumps hot water out of the engine block's water passages and pumps cold water in. Inside the engine block, there are multiple water passages for coolant circulation, which are connected to the radiator (commonly known as the water tank) at the front of the car via hoses, forming a large water circulation system. 2. Principle: The engine drives the water pump bearing and impeller through the pulley. The coolant in the water pump is rotated by the impeller and, under centrifugal force, is thrown toward the edge of the pump housing, generating a certain pressure before flowing out through the outlet passage or hose.

What type of engine oil is used in the Tiguan L?

The Tiguan L uses 5W40 engine oil or 0W40 fully synthetic engine oil. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Mineral oil: Mineral oil is a commonly used lubricant on the market. It is derived from the useful substances separated during petroleum refining, such as gasoline and aviation fuel, with the remaining base oil further processed and extracted. 2. Semi-synthetic engine oil: Semi-synthetic engine oil is produced using semi-synthetic technology, which involves purifying mineral oil through hydrocracking. It is a mixture of mineral oil and fully synthetic oil in a 4:6 ratio, with purity very close to that of fully synthetic oil. 3. Fully synthetic engine oil: Fully synthetic engine oil is a high-grade lubricant. It is derived from ethylene and propylene dispersed from natural gas or crude oil, which undergo polymerization, catalysis, and other complex chemical reactions to form a lubricating fluid composed of large molecules.
