For yellowed car rims, you can use rim cleaning agents to clean them thoroughly. Precautions for cleaning rims: 1. When the rim temperature is high, allow it to cool naturally before cleaning. Never use cold water to clean, as this can damage the aluminum alloy rim or even deform the brake disc, affecting braking performance. 2. Using cleaning agents on aluminum alloy rims at high temperatures can cause chemical reactions on the surface, leading to loss of luster and affecting appearance. 3. If there is stubborn tar on the rim that is difficult to remove, try using a brush or toothbrush if regular cleaning agents are ineffective. However, avoid using overly stiff brushes, especially metal brushes, to prevent surface damage. 4. In areas near the coast or with frequent rainfall, rims should be cleaned more often to prevent salt corrosion on the surface. 5. If there are scratches or damage on the rim, it is recommended to refurbish and repair them promptly to prevent further corrosion, which can lead to tire leaks.

What is the displacement of a 1.5L engine?

1.5L refers to a naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters. The 'T' commonly mentioned in cars indicates vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines. For engines of the same displacement, turbocharged engines accelerate faster and have higher maximum horsepower, peak torque, and higher RPM limits. The power output of a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine is roughly equivalent to that of a 1.0 to 1.2L turbocharged engine when turbocharging is involved. Before the turbo kicks in, the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivers stronger power. Turbocharged engines only reach their maximum power output after the turbo engages.
