Honda engine oils are classified into two types of mineral oils (SL, SM) and one type of fully synthetic oil (SM). Below is a partial introduction about the functions of engine oil: Lubrication and wear reduction; Between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing bush, there is rapid relative sliding. To prevent excessive wear of parts, an oil film needs to be established between the two sliding surfaces. Shock absorption: When the pressure at the engine cylinder port rises sharply, it suddenly increases the load on the piston, piston skirt, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearings. This load is transmitted and lubricated through the bearings, allowing the impact load to be cushioned.

What are the components and principles of new energy vehicles?

New energy vehicles consist of three main parts: the electric drive system, the power source system, and the auxiliary system. Below is an introduction to the principles of new energy vehicles: 1. New energy vehicles are powered by non-petroleum derivatives. The working principle of conventional vehicles involves converting thermal energy into mechanical energy through four continuous processes: intake, compression, power stroke, and exhaust. Each cycle of these processes is called a working cycle. 2. The working principles of hybrid vehicles and hydrogen engine vehicles are the same as those of conventional vehicles. Fuel cell electric vehicles use the electrical energy generated by electrochemical reactions in fuel cells, where hydrogen and oxygen from the air react under the action of a catalyst, as the main power source for driving. 3. Pure electric vehicles are vehicles that use a single battery as the energy storage power source.

Why is the production date of the glass on my new car inconsistent?

There are several main reasons for inconsistent production dates of the glass on a new car: 1. Car glass is usually produced by other factories and then transported to the assembly workshop for installation. Different batches of glass from the glass factory may have different production dates. 2. Glass parts are often stocked in advance, and it cannot be guaranteed that they will be assembled immediately each time. Therefore, slight differences in glass production dates are normal. 3. You can check the glass markings to determine whether the car glass has been replaced. In most cases, the markings on new replacement glass will differ significantly from those on the original factory glass.

What does 'trip' on the car dashboard mean?

Car dashboard 'trip' represents the trip mileage, which can be used to record the kilometers traveled for each trip by the user. Here's how to turn on, turn off, and the functions of the car trip: Methods to turn on and off the car trip: Some cars have a trip button, which is located on the multifunction steering wheel, while some models have it on the left-hand side armrest of the driver's seat. The method to turn it on and off is also very simple. Before each trip starts, a short press of the button can begin recording the car's trip, while a long press can reset the recorded trip. Functions of the car trip: It can be reset and used to measure the distance between two places. This is different from the total mileage, and it can also be used to calculate the car's fuel consumption. TRIPA means single trip A, and TRIPA and TRIPB odometers can be switched.

Can I switch motor oil brands?

Motor oil brands can be switched. Here are precautions when changing to other brands: 1. Most importantly, purchase oil through official channels: Never use unverified small-brand oils, as poor-quality oil may cause engine damage. 2. For older vehicles with significant sludge buildup, it's best to clean the sludge thoroughly before changing oil, which not only ensures better lubrication but also helps restore engine performance. 3. Always thoroughly clean the old oil: First drain the old oil as completely as possible, then add a small amount of new oil or specialized engine cleaning oil for flushing.

Can the Engine Run with a Misfiring Cylinder?

Engine misfiring means one or more cylinders are not functioning properly, and the vehicle should not continue to be driven under such conditions. Symptoms of engine misfiring: Unstable idle speed and abnormal engine vibration. Generally, the more cylinders an engine has, the smoother it runs. When a cylinder misfires, the vehicle's idle speed may fluctuate noticeably, or the engine may vibrate abnormally; significant power loss occurs because vehicle power is generated by compressing air and fuel in the engine cylinders for combustion. If a cylinder misfires, the fuel does not burn properly, leading to poor acceleration; difficulty starting the vehicle and engine stalling become more severe with more misfiring cylinders; black smoke from the exhaust pipe indicates unburned fuel being expelled from the misfiring cylinder. Solution: If the exhaust flow is noticeably intermittent, accompanied by strong exhaust pipe vibration and obvious engine shaking, sometimes with abnormal noises, this is often related to ignition coil failure. The relevant components of the ignition system should be replaced.

What does 'bar' displayed on a car mean?

When 'bar' is displayed on a car, it indicates that the tire pressure is either too high or too low. Here's some information about tire pressure: 1. Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. There is a standard tire pressure indicator printed on the rear end of the driver's side door, which indicates the pressure when the tire is cold, i.e., when the car has been parked for at least three hours or driven no more than 1.6km. The most accurate tire pressure measurement is taken when the tire is cold. 2. Tire pressure is an indicator of the car's load capacity; the load capacity of a car depends on the level of tire pressure. Air pressure is the lifeblood of a tire; both too high and too low pressure will shorten the tire's service life.
