Benefits of engine oil: 1. It can reduce friction and wear between moving parts, such as minimizing friction between cylinder liners and piston rings (or camshafts); 2. It absorbs heat generated in the combustion chamber and piston crowns, cooling the engine and preventing overheating; 3. It fills the gaps between piston rings and cylinder liners, preventing leakage of combustion pressure (engine power); 4. It prevents contaminants and oxide impurities produced during combustion from adhering to internal engine components, maintaining cleanliness; 5. It neutralizes acidic substances generated by combustion gases, protecting the engine from rust and corrosion. Engine oil, used in automotive engines, is a type of engine lubricant composed of base oil and additives.

What is the difference between average fuel consumption and post-refuel average fuel consumption?

The "100 km average fuel consumption" after refueling represents the average fuel consumption per 100 km for the current tank of fuel, which starts a new calculation. It is essentially the same as the 100 km average fuel consumption without refueling, but differs in the weighting factor used for time-segmented calculations (e.g., calculated every 10 seconds). "Average fuel consumption" refers to the average fuel consumption over a certain period at the current speed (e.g., the average fuel consumption over 2 seconds of driving), which does not use a weighted average. Average fuel consumption is what is commonly referred to as fuel economy, defined as the amount of fuel used per unit distance traveled by the vehicle. The commonly used unit is liters per 100 kilometers (l/100km), i.e., fuel consumption per 100 km. Whether a car is fuel-efficient depends on its fuel consumption, which reflects the vehicle's fuel economy. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and ambient temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

What Causes No Airflow in Air Conditioning Heating Mode?

There are primarily two reasons why an air conditioner may not blow air in heating mode: 1. During winter operation, the air conditioner requires a preheating phase. The outdoor unit starts first, and the indoor unit begins blowing air only after the pipeline temperature rises - this is the anti-cold air function. 2. After running for some time, the outdoor unit enters defrosting mode (typically lasting about 10 minutes), during which the indoor unit stops operating. Main reasons for insufficient heating include: 1. The 8-12 minute "defrosting" period required when outdoor temperatures drop below 0°C causes immediate frost formation on the outdoor unit, which some users mistakenly interpret as poor heating performance. 2. Improper user operation or maintenance. 3. Power voltage fluctuations or drops during periods of high electricity consumption. 4. Possible refrigerant deficiency requiring professional servicing. Most users employ heat pump or hybrid (heat pump + auxiliary electric heating) systems. 5. The unit's heating capacity being insufficient for the room size - solutions include using room dividers or curtains to reduce space; avoiding AC use below -5°C and switching to auxiliary heaters or wall-mounted boilers; avoiding peak electricity hours. 6. Outdoor temperatures below -5°C significantly reduce heating efficiency as lower temperatures progressively diminish the system's actual heating capacity.

How to Display the Rearview Camera in Full Screen?

Rearview camera full-screen display settings may be related to the navigation system. Generally, turning off the engine and restarting the power can restore normal functionality. Here is some information about rearview cameras: 1. The rearview camera, also known as a parking assist system, reverse visual system, or onboard monitoring system. 2. After years of development, the reverse radar system has upgraded its technology, improved performance, and been applied to various vehicle types, such as trucks, buses, school buses, combine harvesters, corn harvesters, coaches, and construction machinery. In terms of structure, appearance, performance, and price, current products each have their own characteristics, with digital displays, screen displays, and multifunctional rearview mirror displays being the most commonly used. 3. The rearview camera system provides clear visibility even at night through infrared technology. Professional onboard probes have further improved anti-magnetic, shockproof, waterproof, and dustproof performance. The onboard display uses TFT true color with anti-magnetic treatment to eliminate signal interference and flickering. It can simultaneously receive two video inputs, play VCDs and DVDs without a decoder, and features automatic horizontal switching and automatic on/off functions for reverse visibility. The dashboard or rearview mirror display can clearly show the rear information via the onboard camera installed at the back of the vehicle. Additionally, two rearview cameras can be installed to eliminate blind spots during reversing.

Will the Haval H6 have many minor issues after a few years of driving?

Whether the Haval H6 will have many minor issues after a few years of driving depends on the owner's maintenance of the vehicle. If it is well maintained, there generally won't be too many minor problems. Below are some relevant introductions about car maintenance: 1. Exterior inspection: Before driving, check the doors, hood, trunk, and glass condition. Inspect the body for any damage, tilt, oil leaks, or water leaks. 2. Engine and various fluids: Check the fixation of engine components and inspect the engine joints for oil or water leaks. Adjust and tighten the belts, and check the fixation of pipelines and wires in various parts. Top up engine oil, coolant, and electrolyte as needed. 3. Tires: Inspect tire wear and clean the trunk. Replace tires when they approach the wear indicators. Check for bulges, abnormal wear, aging cracks, or hard damage on the tires. 4. Cleaning and lubrication: Clean the oil stains from the engine compartment cover, door hinges, and trunk hinge mechanisms, and lubricate them. The general service life of antifreeze is 2 years, so it should be replaced during maintenance, and the cooling system should be thoroughly cleaned. Due to the hygroscopic nature of the brake system, brake fluid should be replaced every two years.
