Honda offers two types of genuine engine oil: mineral oil and full synthetic oil. The mineral oil comes in SL grade 10W30 and SM grade 5W30, while the full synthetic oil is available in SM5W40. Genuine engine oil refers to lubricants produced by an oil supplier commissioned by the automobile manufacturer according to specific standards, tailored to the characteristics of the engine. Engine oils for automotive use are categorized into mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. Mineral oil is refined from crude oil and has lower production costs compared to synthetic oils. However, mineral oil tends to degrade more quickly during use, necessitating regular replacements. Semi-synthetic oil is a blend of synthetic oil and mineral oil, whereas full synthetic oil is entirely manufactured through chemical processes. Honda is a multinational automobile manufacturer listed on both the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange, with its product line primarily consisting of four major businesses: automobiles, motorcycles, power products, and aircraft.

Having driven Honda cars for over a decade, I particularly enjoy using their genuine engine oils. Honda offers several types of genuine oils: the most common is the Ultra series synthetic oil, such as the 0W-20 viscosity grade, which is ideal for modern engines—quick starts and excellent lubrication. After using it in my car, the engine noise reduced, and the response became more agile. There's also the 5W-30 semi-synthetic oil, with slightly higher viscosity, suitable for high-mileage or older models, offering a cost-effective solution. Honda also provides ECO formula oil, specially designed for hybrid vehicles, reducing friction through optimized formulations to improve fuel efficiency—I support eco-friendliness. Personally, I believe genuine oils offer better compatibility. When servicing at a 4S shop, using them helps extend engine life, with recommended oil change intervals of 5,000 kilometers. While alternative brands are available, genuine oils provide stable quality, saving money and hassle in the long run.

What are the three must-have insurances for private cars in 2021?

Private cars must purchase compulsory traffic insurance, third-party liability insurance, and vehicle damage insurance. The characteristics of compulsory traffic insurance include the following two points: 1. From a legislative perspective, it is a legally mandatory insurance: vehicle owners or managers must, in accordance with legal procedures, purchase compulsory traffic insurance for motor vehicle accidents. Article 5 of the "Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations" makes compulsory traffic insurance a prerequisite for applying for motor vehicle license plates and driving licenses—no insurance, no driving; 2. From a social perspective, it is a social management tool: the establishment of compulsory traffic insurance addresses the social harm caused by frequent traffic accidents. Effective compensation for personal and property losses resulting from traffic accidents requires a stable source of funding. The unpredictable nature of traffic accidents means individuals cannot promptly and effectively deal with the sudden risks they pose.

Why is the engine warning light on in the Baojun 730?

Here are the reasons why the engine warning light is on in the Baojun 730: 1. Lack of regular maintenance: About 50% of engine failures are caused by poor maintenance. 2. Incomplete combustion: Poor engine combustion is the main reason for the engine warning light to illuminate. In automotive design, an oxygen sensor is installed to monitor the engine's combustion state, ensuring the engine operates efficiently and maintains a normal lifespan. If the combustion state is poor—such as high levels of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, or nitrogen oxides—it not only pollutes the environment but also leads to fuel waste and excessive engine wear. 3. Engine knocking: The engine is equipped with a dedicated knock sensor to monitor knocking. Engine knocking can indicate potential severe mechanical damage or significant power loss. Knocking is generally categorized as noticeable or unnoticeable. In unnoticeable cases, the engine control unit adjusts parameters to mitigate adverse effects. However, if the knocking exceeds the unit's adjustment range, the engine warning light will illuminate as an alert.
