The effects of insufficient engine oil pressure in a car are: inadequate lubrication, the high temperature of engine components cannot be dissipated in time, which will cause deformation of high-temperature moving parts, poor movement, and in severe cases, lead to bearing seizure and cylinder scuffing. The reasons for insufficient engine oil pressure in a car are: 1. Insufficient oil quantity in the oil pan; 2. The oil quality does not meet the requirements; 3. Fuel or water mixed into the engine oil; 4. The engine oil temperature is too high; 5. The oil filter screen is clogged or the oil inlet pipe is leaking air; 6. Insufficient oil pump pressure; 7. Severe leakage of the pressure relief valve; 8. The oil filter and main oil passage are clogged; 9. Increased leakage loss of friction pairs; 10. Oil cooling nozzle leakage.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Leiling 1.2T in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Leiling 1.2T is 50 liters, as officially announced. The Leiling 1.2T uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 5.6 to 5.7L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 877-892 kilometers. During daily driving, it is important to always monitor the remaining fuel level. This is usually done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. 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 only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. In actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

Should the Levin use 0w20 or 5w30 engine oil?

The Levin can use either 0w20 or 5w30 engine oil. Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber for the engine. Taking the 2019 Levin as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of 4640mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, a fuel tank capacity of 43 liters, and a curb weight of 1410kg. The 2019 Levin features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine producing a maximum horsepower of 98PS, a maximum power of 72kW, and a maximum torque of 142Nm, paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission (CVT).

What is the tire speed rating code?

Tire speed rating codes are: 1. Q represents 160 km/h; 2. R represents 170 km/h; 3. S represents 180 km/h; 4. T represents 190 km/h; 5. H represents 210 km/h; 6. V represents 240 km/h; 7. W represents 270 km/h; 8. Y represents 300 km/h; 9. Z (ZR) indicates speeds above 240 km/h. Methods for maintaining car tires: 1. Regularly check tire pressure; 2. Remove debris from tire treads; 3. Inspect tire wear and replace promptly when necessary; 4. Perform tire rotation - this ensures even force distribution across all four tires and prevents excessive wear.

What is the tire pressure in kPa?

Tire pressure is between 240 and 250 kPa, which refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: 1. The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance; 2. It may cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates localized wear of the tread center pattern, shortening tire lifespan; 4. Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components. Factors affecting tire pressure: 1. Seasonal factors: In winter, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure; in summer, when the car is parked outdoors, the pressure can be 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent high-temperature blowouts; 2. Tire pressure measurement conditions: Cold tires and hot tires have different pressures, and the difference between them should be noted as 0.3 bar during measurement.
