Motor oil classifications typically include two methods: viscosity grading and oil quality grading. SAE Viscosity Grading: According to the viscosity classification method, lubricating oils are divided into three types: high-temperature type for summer use, low-temperature type for winter use, and all-season type suitable for both winter and summer. API Engine Oil Quality Classification: According to the API engine oil quality classification method, they can be divided into two categories. One type is oil with an S prefix, which is suitable for gasoline engines, and the other is oil with a C prefix, which is suitable for both gasoline and diesel engines.

What Causes Abnormal Noise When Turning a New Car?

The reasons for abnormal noise when turning a new car are: 1. Friction between plastic parts: The steering wheel is usually made of plastic components. If the temperature drops, the plastic may harden, naturally leading to friction sounds; 2. Damage to the clock spring in the steering wheel: Remove the steering wheel clock spring and apply some butter to check if the noise persists. If it does, replace the clock spring; 3. Aging of the steering tie rod ball joint; 4. Loosening or damage of the stabilizer bar bushings, which can be resolved by adding shims; 5. Noise from the plane bearing of the shock absorber, which can be mitigated by applying some butter to the plane bearing.

Can Winter Tires Run at 120 km/h on Highways?

Winter tires can run at 120 km/h on highways, but it is not recommended to use winter tires for high-speed driving. This is because the tires generate significant noise and experience severe wear during high-speed driving, which also increases the vehicle's fuel consumption. The main reason winter tires should not be used for extended periods at high speeds is their softer tread, which can lead to unstable contact with the road surface and accelerated wear during high-speed driving. Winter tires are specifically designed for snowy conditions, enhancing a vehicle's traction and safety on icy or snowy roads. The tread of winter tires features a special silica-based compound that remains flexible at low temperatures, ensuring excellent grip on icy surfaces.
