The differences between OEM and non-OEM rearview mirrors are as follows: 1. Different production methods: OEM parts are specifically produced for a certain fixed component, while non-OEM auto parts are manufactured by small-scale processing plants. 2. Quality differences: OEM-produced items undergo strict testing, whereas non-OEM parts may have defects. Some non-OEM parts are imitations of products originally made by OEM manufacturers, or they might simply be substandard products that were rejected by OEMs. Essentially, these are unusable parts, yet they still make their way into the market. 3. Craftsmanship differences: There is also a significant difference in the quality of mirrors produced by OEM and non-OEM manufacturers. OEM-produced mirrors are more refined, while the craftsmanship of non-OEM mirrors is often inferior.

Does a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission require gear oil replacement?

7-speed dry dual-clutch transmissions do require gear oil replacement. Gear oil, also known as transmission lubricating oil, is primarily composed of antioxidants, antifoaming agents, and rust inhibitors. It helps prevent gear surface wear and sintering, significantly improving power transmission efficiency. Precautions for using gear oil: 1. Timely replenishment and replacement; 2. Prompt gear oil changes; 3. Avoid contamination of the vehicle's generator, starter motor carbon brushes, or rotor with lubricating oil or grease, as this may cause operational issues or failure. Dry dual-clutch transmissions transmit torque through friction plates on the clutch driven disc, eliminating the need for related hydraulic systems. Dry clutches themselves are highly efficient in torque transmission.

Does the Camry have a particulate filter?

Toyota Camry does not have a particulate filter. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. Function of the particulate filter: The particulate filter can reduce soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. To check if a vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter, you can use the following 3 methods: Check the "Owner's Maintenance Manual" and "Owner's User Manual" to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, you can carefully review the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "Particulate Filter" warning light indicator. Check the label on the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter. Look behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe to see if there is a cylindrical section. If there is, that is the particulate filter.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2019 Sagitar?

The fuel tank capacity of the 2019 Sagitar is 50 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the 2019 Sagitar can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the 2019 Sagitar is 95, with a fuel consumption of 5.4-5.7L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 877-925 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This 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 advisable 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 manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is designed to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
