Automotive antifreeze consists of the following chemical components: inorganic calcium chloride (CaCl2), organic methanol (CH3OH), ethanol (C2H5OH), ethylene glycol (C2H4(OH)2), erythritol, glycerol (C3H5(OH)3), glycerin, lubricating oil, sugar, and honey. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. The functions of automotive antifreeze are: 1. Corrosion prevention - The engine cooling system is made of metal, which can corrode and rust when in contact with water at high temperatures. Antifreeze has anti-corrosion and rust-removal functions; 2. High boiling point - Antifreeze coolant has a boiling point of 110 degrees Celsius, and using it in summer can prevent the radiator from boiling over; 3. Antifreeze is made with distilled water and contains scale-inhibiting additives, which help remove scale.

What is the engine displacement of the BMW 525li?

The BMW 525li has engine displacements of 2.0L and 1.5L. Classification of car engine displacement: In China, the classification of car levels is determined by the size of the engine displacement. Mini cars have a displacement of ≤1.0L; compact cars have a displacement ranging from 1.0-1.6L; midsize cars have a displacement ranging from 1.6-2.5L; executive cars have a displacement ranging from 2.5-4.0L; and luxury cars have a displacement of >4.0L. Total cylinder displacement: Displacement refers to the exhaust volume. The cylinder working volume is the volume swept by the piston from top dead center to bottom dead center, also known as single-cylinder displacement, which depends on the cylinder bore and piston stroke. The engine displacement is the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders, usually expressed in liters (L). Engine displacement is one of the most important structural parameters, more representative of engine size than cylinder bore and number of cylinders. Many engine indicators are closely related to displacement.

How often should a five-seat motor vehicle be inspected?

How often a five-seat motor vehicle should be inspected depends on different circumstances: 1. Within the first 6 years, it should be inspected once every 2 years; 2. After 6 years, it should be inspected once every year; 3. After 15 years, it should be inspected twice every year. The inspection time for a motor vehicle is determined by the date of its initial registration, and the annual inspection must not exceed the specified time frame. It can be conducted up to 3 months in advance or delayed by 1 month. The purposes of motor vehicle annual inspections are: 1. To promptly eliminate potential safety hazards of the vehicle; 2. To encourage better maintenance and upkeep of the vehicle; 3. To reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. The contents of motor vehicle annual inspections include: 1. Checking the engine, chassis, body, and internal components of the vehicle; 2. Verifying whether all functions are operating normally and whether the vehicle's paint is even; 3. Inspecting the braking and steering systems; 4. Checking the vehicle's lights and exhaust; 5. Ensuring the vehicle's appearance matches the registration records at the vehicle management office.

How does the performance of the CR-V compare to the Enclave S?

The performance comparison between the CR-V and the Enclave S is as follows: Overall body: The top-of-the-line Honda CR-V has a shorter body length compared to the top-of-the-line Enclave S, and the wheelbase of the CR-V is also slightly shorter than that of the Enclave S. Overall configuration: The top-of-the-line Honda CR-V is more richly equipped than the top-of-the-line Enclave S. Power: The new CR-V is equipped with a 1.5T engine for the first time, delivering a maximum power of 145kW, paired with a CVT transmission or a 9-speed automatic transmission. Compared to the competitor RAV4's 2.0L engine with a maximum power of 111kW, the new CR-V holds a certain advantage. Additionally, the new CR-V will introduce a hybrid version, featuring Honda's i-MMD hybrid system, which consists of a 2.0L Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine, dual electric motors, an electric CVT transmission, a PCU power control unit, and a lithium-ion battery.

Will there be any impact if the car insurance is renewed a few days late?

Renewing car insurance a few days late will not have any impact. It is acceptable to renew the insurance a few days after the expiration date, as long as the vehicle is not driven during the uninsured period. Vehicle Insurance: Also known as motor vehicle insurance or simply car insurance, it refers to a type of commercial insurance that covers personal injury or property damage caused by natural disasters or accidents involving motor vehicles. Car insurance is a form of property insurance and is relatively new in the field of property insurance, as it emerged and developed alongside the advent and popularization of automobiles. Impact of Uninsured Vehicles: The biggest risk of an uninsured vehicle is that the vehicle and the owner will no longer have any coverage. In the event of an accident, the owner will be responsible for full compensation. Additionally, when purchasing a new insurance policy after a lapse, the owner will no longer be eligible for any discounts. If a vehicle does not have compulsory traffic insurance, it cannot be driven on the road; once caught driving without it, the owner will face immediate penalty points.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Haval F5 in liters?

Haval F5 has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, which is the officially announced data. The Haval F5 uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 6.6-7.1L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 774-833km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is recommended to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow from the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Wuling New Truck in liters?

The 2021 Wuling New Truck comes in 16 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The entire lineup is equipped with the LJ479Q6 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT), with all models featuring a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration. In the same vehicle class, the Chenggong K3-2020-1.5L single-row truck has a fuel tank capacity of 43 liters, while the Changan Shenqi T20-2021-1.5L-Wealth Edition has a capacity of 40 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit level. There is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the pointer is near 'E', it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the tank is nearly full.
