Mercedes-Benz's dedicated engine oil is Mobil 1 Gold. Below is more information about Mobil 1 Gold: 1. Mobil 1 Gold is a fully synthetic engine oil, representing the top-tier product in the Mobil series. It comes in multiple viscosity grades including 0W20, 0W30, 0W40, 5W30, and 5W40. Mobil 1 Gold offers outstanding performance in lubrication and other aspects. 2. It provides excellent protection for advanced multi-valve engines, featuring superior oil quality to reduce engine wear. It offers optimal protection during critical moments of vehicle startup, with exceptional high and low-temperature performance. It ensures smooth cold starts and maintains high-temperature stability, protecting engine components at both low and high temperatures while cooling the engine. It delivers excellent lubrication, reduces engine load, and improves fuel economy. 3. Apart from its relatively high price, Mobil 1 Gold currently has no significant issues. As for the oil change interval, it is typically recommended every 10,000 kilometers or about one year. However, this should be adjusted based on driving conditions, environment, and other factors.

I've seen many Mercedes-Benz owners inquire about oil brands during maintenance. Mercedes-Benz officially recommends using oils that meet MB specifications, with common brands like Mobil 1 being their long-term partners. When helping a friend with car repairs, I noticed that Mercedes also sells rebranded oils at authorized dealerships. Choosing oil depends on certification standards, such as MB-Approval 229.5, which ensures smooth engine operation and reduces wear. Using non-compliant oil may lead to carbon buildup or increased engine noise. I advise owners to check their manuals for viscosity requirements (e.g., 0W-40) and change oil every 8,000-10,000 km. This affects long-term performance—don't cheap out with off-brand oils. Extra tip: In cold winter regions, select oils with good low-temperature protection to prevent starting difficulties.

How to check the tire pressure monitoring on the Bin Yue?

The Bin Yue's tire pressure monitoring is an indirect tire pressure monitoring system, which does not have tire pressure monitoring sensors and cannot directly display the tire pressure values. More information about indirect tire pressure monitoring is as follows: 1. The working principle of indirect tire pressure monitoring is: when the air pressure of a tire decreases, the weight of the vehicle will cause the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in its rotation speed being faster than the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speed between the tires, the purpose of monitoring tire pressure is achieved. The indirect tire pressure warning system actually relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor the air pressure. 2. Direct tire pressure monitoring involves installing electronic sensors on the wheels to automatically monitor various conditions of the tires in real time, providing effective safety assurance for driving. Not only can it detect whether the tire pressure is abnormal, but it can also display the tire pressure values of all four tires. Compared to indirect tire pressure monitoring, direct tire pressure monitoring is more straightforward in terms of numerical values and can also determine which specific tire is abnormal through the numerical values.

Is the first tank of fuel consumption for a new car particularly high?

The first tank of fuel consumption for a new car tends to be higher, but it will decrease after the break-in period. The reasons for the high fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Part break-in: The fuel consumption indicated in the specifications is the ideal fuel consumption, obtained under ideal conditions. A new car needs to break in because the parts are not perfectly smooth when the car is first manufactured. Only after the parts wear in will they become perfectly smooth. Until then, the car must increase engine power to overcome the resistance between parts, naturally leading to higher fuel consumption. 2. Improper driving: If you frequently floor the accelerator or brake hard while driving, the car's fuel consumption will increase. Additionally, maintain a proper following distance to minimize unnecessary braking. Here are specific methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Lightly press the accelerator: The car consumes the most fuel during low-speed starts, so gently pressing the accelerator during startup to prevent high RPMs can effectively reduce fuel consumption. 2. Avoid high RPMs: Try to avoid unnecessary high RPMs, as fluctuating engine speeds can significantly increase fuel consumption. 3. Regular maintenance: Change the engine oil and remove carbon deposits periodically. 4. Avoid emergency braking: Anticipate road conditions in advance to avoid emergency braking, which not only improves driving safety but also saves fuel. For example, gradually slow down before traffic lights and use inertia to glide.

How to activate the one-touch window lowering feature on Citroen C-Quatre?

The method to activate the one-touch window lowering feature on Citroen C-Quatre is: 1. Press the window switch down completely. 2. Then hold it until the window fully closes and continue holding for 10 seconds. 3. Repeat this process for each window switch. 4. The activation will be successful. Additional information: 1. One-touch windows generally have an "anti-pinch" function to prevent potential hand injuries. 2. Only the driver's window has the one-touch feature. This design assumes the driver is an adult capable of vehicle operation, while other positions may not be. It's not just for cost reduction but mainly to prevent the driver from being distracted by window operations.

What is the solution to the brake noise issue in Skoda Octavia?

Skoda Octavia brake noise solutions are as follows: 1. A sharp squeaking sound during braking is normal and mainly related to the material of the brake pads. 2. Find a safe road section and perform emergency braking at a speed of around 40 mph to grind down the hard spots on the brake pads. Repeating this several times will eliminate the noise. 3. Remove the brake pads and chamfer them, which will effectively reduce the noise during braking. All vehicles have this issue, and the noise does not affect the normal operation of the braking system, so no action is necessary.
