Particulate filter requirements for engine oil: National VI engines equipped with particulate filters require the use of low-ash engine oil. High-ash oil can easily clog the particulate filter. The methods for dealing with clogged particulate filters differ between diesel and gasoline vehicles, as follows: For diesel vehicles, simply press the regeneration button on the car. The engine will then increase its RPM while stationary, and generally, within about ten minutes, the particulate filter will be cleaned, resolving the clogging issue. For gasoline vehicles, the owner should first shift the car into S gear and then drive at high speed for a period. During high-speed driving, the exhaust pipe temperature will rise, burning off the clogged particles inside the particulate filter, thereby solving the clogging issue. If the particulate filter is severely clogged and the above methods do not resolve the issue, the particulate filter can be taken to an auto repair shop or 4S store for professional cleaning with specialized equipment.

Why does the wiper suddenly make a creaking noise when wiping the windshield?

Wiper suddenly making a creaking noise when wiping the windshield is due to improper installation of the wiper blade support frame. Wiper blades are rubber products that will harden and age after prolonged use, especially in winter. If the wiper is no longer cleaning effectively, the simplest and most effective solution is to directly replace the wiper blades. It is recommended to replace them every one to two years. The technical name for wipers is "windshield wipers," which are blade structures installed in front of the windshield, composed of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade. Their main function is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstruct the driver's view, improving visibility and enhancing driving safety.

What are the causes of difficult cold start?

Causes of difficult cold start: 1. The temperature of coolant in the cooling system and lubricant in the lubrication system is relatively low; 2. Spark plugs are not replaced in time; 3. Ignition coil failure; 4. Excessive carbon deposits in the throttle and idle valve; 5. Whether the water temperature sensor of the engine control system is working properly; 6. The nozzle is not tightly closed or blocked due to excessive carbon deposits inside. The method for cold engine start is: When the first start fails, wait for 20 seconds before the second start. After starting, do not rush to drive and allow some preheating time. Generally, it is more fuel-efficient to start when the vehicle's water temperature reaches 40 degrees.

How to Determine Which Model a Car Is?

To determine which model a car is, you can check the nameplate located near the front passenger door. The position of the nameplate varies by vehicle, but it is generally found on the lower part of the front passenger door and can be seen when the door is opened. The vehicle nameplate is a label that indicates the basic characteristics of the car, including the manufacturer, model, engine power, total weight, load capacity or passenger capacity, manufacturing number, production date, and manufacturer's name. Methods to find out the production year of a car include: 1. Check the VIN number—the 17-digit VIN code located under the windshield, where the 10th digit represents the production year; 2. Look at the vehicle nameplate; 3. Find the vehicle's certificate of conformity or certificate of compliance.

Can a Flat Tire Still Be Used?

A flat tire can still be used. If you notice a tire is leaking, first turn on your hazard lights and pull over to inspect it. If you have an air pump in your car, you can try inflating it slightly to see if it holds air. If the tire is leaking slowly and you don't have any tire repair tools or an air pump, you can drive slowly to a nearby auto repair shop for inspection. The main functions of a tire include supporting the full weight of the vehicle, bearing the load of the car, transmitting traction and braking torque, ensuring adhesion between the wheels and the road, reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts while driving, preventing excessive vibrations and premature damage to car components, adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle while reducing driving noise, and ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
