Both PSx and P Zero are top-tier performance street tires from first-tier brands (excluding semi-slick compounds), with differences reflected in: P Zero has always been Pirelli's flagship sports tire, with numerous derivative series, while Michelin's Pilot-Sport series also represents Michelin's top sports tires, but with a wide variety of tread patterns and rapid updates and upgrades. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Width: Under the premise of similar widths, there is no essential difference in wet road grip between these two tires. It's worth mentioning that the actual tread width of the PS4 is slightly larger than that of the PZ4, which can be seen when placed side by side. 2. Handling: In terms of driving feel, on highways with standing water, the PZ4 tends to pull the steering slightly when entering the water, while the PS4 is much more subtle. However, when cornering at high speeds in the rain at the same speed, the PZ4 offers slightly better support and stability than the PS4. In rainy conditions, the noise and steering stability of both tires are quite similar, but the PS4 produces a special low-frequency airflow noise at low speeds.

What are the differences between different colors of antifreeze?

There are three main differences between antifreeze of different colors: 1. Different colors: Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze appears green. Diethylene glycol antifreeze is blue. Propylene glycol antifreeze is red. 2. Different costs: Ethanol is flammable and volatile, so its content should not exceed 40% when preparing, and it is not suitable for use in diesel engine cooling systems with higher operating temperatures. Glycerin (glycerol) requires a significant amount in water to achieve a low freezing point antifreeze. 3. Different boiling points: The freezing point of glycerin (glycerol) is -17℃, and the boiling point is 290℃. When mixed with water, the lowest freezing point can reach -46.5℃. The freezing point of ethylene glycol is -11.5℃, and the boiling point is 197.4℃. When mixed with water, the lowest freezing point can reach -68℃.

What are the reasons for the Wuling Rongguang feeling sluggish and powerless when accelerating?

The reasons for the Wuling Rongguang feeling sluggish and powerless when accelerating include: clogged three-way catalytic converter, degraded ignition performance of spark plugs, abnormal fuel injection, etc. Below are detailed cause analyses and solutions: Clogged three-way catalytic converter: Sluggish acceleration and a feeling of being stifled are likely caused by a clogged three-way catalytic converter. When clogged, it restricts engine exhaust flow, causing the engine's RPM increase to lag significantly behind the throttle pedal's depression depth, resulting in a stifled and powerless sensation. Solution: Clean the three-way catalytic converter by removing it, soaking it in oxalic acid or toilet cleaner to break down carbon deposits, and restore it to normal condition. Degraded ignition performance of spark plugs: As the direct component for igniting the air-fuel mixture, the spark plug's performance directly affects the engine's power output. During acceleration, if the spark plug's ignition performance degrades and fails to produce a high-intensity spark promptly, the suddenly increased fuel injection cannot combust fully, leading to sluggish and stifled acceleration. Solution: Use dry tissue or cloth to wipe the distributor inside and out, along with wires, then spray some desiccant specifically designed for the distributor cap, battery terminals, spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coil. Abnormal fuel injection: For gasoline to be injected into the cylinder in a well-atomized form, sufficient pressure is required as a foundation, with the injector nozzle serving as the passage. Therefore, when the nozzle is clogged, the injected fuel cannot form a good atomized state or reach sufficient injection volume, resulting in sluggish and stifled acceleration. Solution: Gently insert a sewing needle into the nozzle and stir back and forth to clean the injection holes, allowing it to be cleaned and reused.

How many kilometers should the car igniter be replaced?

Car igniters should be replaced approximately every 100,000 kilometers. As a core component in the engine ignition system, the igniter primarily functions to intermittently convert the vehicle's low-voltage electricity into high-voltage electricity. Without the high-voltage electricity converted by the igniter, the combustible gas mixture in the cylinder will not be effectively ionized and ignited, rendering the engine unable to operate normally. Precautions for using the igniter: 1. Do not turn on the ignition switch when the engine is not running; 2. The external surface of the igniter should be kept clean, and the interior should be protected from moisture to maintain its good insulation performance; 3. For contact-type battery ignition systems, the ignition switch should be promptly turned off when the gasoline engine stops running, and the gasoline engine should be started immediately when the ignition switch is turned on.

What Causes the Oil Can Light to Illuminate?

There are several reasons why the oil can light on the car dashboard may illuminate: 1. Insufficient engine oil level, which reduces the oil pump's output or prevents it from pumping oil due to air intake, leading to a drop in oil pressure. 2. Overheating of the engine, which can thin the oil, causing it to leak excessively through the gaps and resulting in decreased oil pressure. 3. Damage to oil pump components or excessive gaps due to wear and tear or improper assembly, which can lead to the oil pump failing to deliver oil or delivering insufficient oil. 4. Improper clearance between the crankshaft and the bearings (big and small), where too tight a fit increases oil pressure and too loose a fit decreases it. 5. Clogging of the oil filter or oil pickup screen, which can reduce oil pressure. 6. Leaks or blockages in the oil lines.

What does checking the engine oil level mean?

Checking the engine oil level is a warning indicator that suggests an abnormal engine oil level, where the computer detects a low oil level, indicating either insufficient oil or a faulty oil level sensor. When checking the oil level, it should be done with the vehicle turned off by inspecting the oil dipstick. The dipstick has two markings: a maximum level and a minimum level. The normal oil quantity should not be above the maximum level nor below the minimum level; it should be between these two marks. Below are the specific steps to check the oil level: 1. Locate the oil dipstick. 2. Pull out the oil dipstick. 3. Wipe the dipstick clean with a tissue and reinsert it fully. 4. Observe the oil dipstick. If the oil level is between the upper and lower marks, it is normal, and no additional oil is needed.

Is it better to use the car air conditioner in recirculation mode or fresh air mode?

Car air conditioning should be used flexibly according to actual conditions: 1. Consider road conditions: Use fresh air mode on highways. Due to wind resistance and high speed, it's not suitable to open windows on highways. Prolonged use of recirculation mode may cause hypoxia in the brain, affecting reaction and judgment, which is very dangerous. Additionally, air quality on highways is generally good with low exhaust concentration, making fresh air mode preferable. In crowded urban areas or during rush hours when vehicle exhaust concentration is high, switch to recirculation mode decisively. 2. Consider vehicle condition: New cars contain high concentrations of toxic gases like formaldehyde. For the first 3-6 months after purchasing a new car, it's recommended to use fresh air mode along with opening windows to enhance air circulation and dilute toxic gas concentrations. 3. Consider air quality: In areas with severe PM2.5 pollution (above 50) where air quality isn't good, use recirculation mode to avoid excessive inhalation of PM2.5 particles into the lungs.
