BMW's original dedicated transmission fluid is ZF–Lifeguard-Fluid(6-HP), which is a fully synthetic formula. There are strict requirements for the use of automotive transmission fluid. If other types of transmission fluid are used, it may cause premature damage to internal transmission components, issues with gear shifting, and other phenomena. More details are as follows: 1. Low-quality or counterfeit transmission fluid has poor temperature resistance, is prone to oxidation, and can lead to sludge and residue buildup, clogging the filter, reducing transmission fluid pressure, affecting shift quality, and easily causing cavitation, resulting in unstable oil pressure. It can also damage friction materials, sealing rubber, and metal components, ultimately leading to abnormal transmission operation. 2. The grade of automatic transmission fluid increases with higher numbers. The viscosity grade of gear oil (also known as manual transmission fluid) is generally selected based on the temperature conditions of different regions or seasons. In high temperatures, higher viscosity gear oil is chosen; conversely, in low temperatures, lower viscosity gear oil is selected.

How is the ambient lighting effect of the Audi A6L?

The ambient lighting in the Audi A6L creates a very intimate and luxurious atmosphere, perfectly complementing the vibrant urban nightlife. The Audi A6L features ambient lighting in the door handles, storage compartments, and welcome pedals, enhancing comfort and creating a more spacious feel. Additionally, the ambient lighting in the center console and footwell provides a clearer sense of orientation. Introduction to the new Audi A6L: 1. Interior: The interior of the new Audi A6L is packed with high-tech features, exuding a premium ambiance. The three screens boast high resolution and come with tactile vibration feedback, offering operational comfort comparable to physical buttons. 2. Performance: The new Audi A6L adopts a five-link front suspension design, balancing the necessary rigid connection for sportiness and the low static stiffness required for comfort. The hydraulic chassis damping support significantly improves ride comfort, effectively reducing the impact and jerkiness when passing over speed bumps or uneven roads, thereby minimizing lumbar impact.

Should You Use Recirculation or Fresh Air Mode When There's an Odor in the Car?

When there's an odor in the car, you should use the fresh air mode. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Fresh air mode: This mode uses the fan to draw outside air into the car, creating a flow between the exterior and interior air passages. The air blown by the fan comes from outside the vehicle. Even if the fan is turned off, air will still be drawn into the car while driving, replenishing the interior with fresh air. Sometimes you may feel air coming in even when the fan is off—this is because the fresh air mode is activated. However, when driving in congested urban areas, the car may fill with exhaust fumes due to the use of fresh air mode. 2. Recirculation mode: This mode closes the airflow passage between the inside and outside of the car. Without the fan, there is no airflow circulation, and when the fan is on, the air drawn in comes only from inside the car, creating internal airflow circulation. Recirculation mode is mainly used to effectively block external dust and harmful gases from entering the car, such as when driving through smoke, dust, areas with strong odors, or in heavy traffic, preventing harmful exhaust emissions from the vehicle ahead from entering.

Were There National V Diesel Vehicles in 2016?

Starting from April 1, 2016, all imported, sold, and registered light-duty gasoline vehicles and light-duty diesel passenger vehicles must comply with the National V standard requirements. Here is the relevant information: 1. National V diesel vehicles: These include models from Haima, Dongfeng Xiaokang, Huapu, Dongfeng, BAIC, Hafei, Chery, BYD, and others. For specific details, you can consult your local 4S dealership. 2. National V standard: The National V standard is equivalent to the Euro V standard in the EU, which has been in effect since 2009. It imposes stricter limits on vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons. Each upgrade from National I to National IV reduces single-vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. The use of new standard gasoline and diesel will reduce multiple pollutants and cut PM2.5 emissions. From National IV to National V, environmental indicators were further tightened, with sulfur content reduced from 50ppm to 10ppm, and fuel quality was further improved.

What is the real fuel consumption of the Breeze 1.5t?

The fuel consumption of the Breeze 1.5t is 5.3L/100km. Here is more information: The power of the Breeze 1.5t: The Breeze 1.5t is equipped with a four-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 193 horsepower and a peak torque of 243 Nm. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 9.3 seconds, and the MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption is 7.3L. The vehicle is paired with either a six-speed manual or a CVT transmission. Models and four-wheel drive system: In addition to the basic two-wheel drive version, the Breeze 1.5t also offers two four-wheel drive models. The top configuration of the fuel version is also four-wheel drive, while the hybrid models are all two-wheel drive. At the same time, the four-wheel drive structure of the Breeze is equipped with an on-demand four-wheel drive system. The working principle is to generate differential torque through wet clutch plates. During normal driving, the main power of the vehicle comes from the front wheels. When the four-wheel drive system detects front wheel slip, the ETC electronic system will press the clutch to transfer power to the rear wheels.

What Causes Excessive Under-Exhaust in Diesel Vehicles?

Excessive under-exhaust in diesel vehicles can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Severe wear of the engine's piston rings and cylinder liners: Piston top erosion or cylinder scoring. If the piston rings and cylinder liners are severely worn, or if there is piston top erosion or cylinder scoring, the seal between the piston rings and cylinder liners becomes compromised. During the compression and expansion processes of the diesel engine, a large amount of compressed gas can enter the crankcase through the tiny gaps between the piston rings and cylinder liners, leading to increased crankcase exhaust pressure. The main symptoms include severe under-exhaust from the breather, insufficient engine power, and possibly blue smoke emission. 2. Incorrect installation of engine piston rings: Misaligned piston ring gaps. If the piston rings are installed incorrectly with all gaps aligned, even if the piston rings are not worn, a significant amount of high-pressure gas from the compression and expansion processes will enter the crankcase, causing increased crankcase exhaust pressure. Alternatively, piston rings may stick, break, or lose elasticity, all of which will result in poor cylinder sealing, allowing combustion gases to leak into the crankcase and significantly increasing crankcase exhaust pressure.
