BMW 7 Series uses Shell Helix Ultra series engine oil, specifically 5W30 fully synthetic oil. It is suitable for most luxury cars, turbocharged models, and high-performance sports cars. Shell Helix Ultra focuses on sports performance, making it ideal for high-performance sports cars or models that emphasize sports performance. The BMW 7 Series is BMW's top-tier luxury sedan series, featuring a 4-door sedan body style with front-engine, rear-wheel drive. Its dimensions are 5212 mm in length, 1902 mm in width, and 1478 mm in height. The car is equipped with four engine options: a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged engine, and a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged engine.

For the BMW 7 Series, I've been driving this car for years and found that it requires high-quality fully synthetic oil. The most recommended brands are BMW's original Longlife or Castrol Edge. These oils must meet BMW's LL-04 certification because the 7 Series' engine is precision-engineered, and its turbo system is prone to carbon buildup or wear. For every maintenance, I choose either 5W-30 or 5W-40 viscosity, adjusting based on weather changes. The oil change interval is once a year or every 10,000 kilometers—don't skimp on this small expense. After using inferior oils like cheap supermarket brands, the engine noticeably becomes noisier, and repair costs are higher. Besides the brand, I check the certification marks on the packaging to ensure it's genuine. Using high-quality oil long-term makes the car smoother and more reliable, saving a lot of hassle.

Which Side is the Brake and Which Side is the Accelerator in a Car?

In an automatic transmission car, both the brake and accelerator are located beneath the feet. The accelerator is on the far right, and the brake is immediately to its left, both controlled by the right foot. In a manual transmission car, the left foot controls the clutch, while the right foot operates the brake and accelerator. From left to right, the pedals are: clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. The brake, also known as the braking system, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving vehicles, locomotives, or other machinery. The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and install corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base, which generate braking torque under external force. The brake device is a mechanical braking system that slows down the vehicle, also known as a decelerator. The car's brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal activates the brake linkage, transmitting pressure to the brake pads on the brake drum, which then clamps the brake disc, causing the car to slow down or stop.

What Causes White Smoke from Car Exhaust in Winter?

In winter, the reason why car exhaust continuously produces white smoke is that the exhaust gas coming out of the tailpipe is at a high temperature. The high-temperature water vapor rapidly condenses into white smoke or small water droplets when it is ejected from the tailpipe and encounters cold air. The white smoke from car exhaust in winter is caused by water vapor adhering to the inner wall of the exhaust muffler. In fact, white smoke from the tailpipe in winter indicates good exhaust performance, so in most cases, white smoke from the tailpipe is not a fault. If the tailpipe emits a milky white oil mist, the main reason is poor fuel vaporization, where the fuel is discharged from the tailpipe without burning, forming a milky white smoke. This is more common when starting the engine in winter due to low temperatures causing poor fuel atomization. Usually, this disappears as the engine temperature rises after starting, and the tailpipe emits a large amount of water vapor white smoke, with water droplets at the tailpipe outlet. If the tailpipe emits an unusually hot white oil mist that turns into black smoke as the temperature rises, it indicates that the cylinder pressure is too low or certain cylinders are not working, and this should be checked and resolved.

Should the Geely Icon use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

According to official recommendations, the Geely Icon should use 92 octane gasoline. When refueling, always refer to the vehicle's user manual, which provides clear instructions. You can also find the recommended fuel standard on the inside of the fuel tank cap. Since parameters like the engine's compression ratio and ignition timing are preset in the engine control unit, owners must strictly follow the manual's fuel requirements. The differences between 92 and 95 octane gasoline mainly lie in their octane ratings, anti-knock properties, and pricing. 92 octane gasoline consists of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. Higher octane ratings indicate better anti-knock performance. 95 octane is more expensive due to its higher isooctane content. Each engine undergoes comprehensive evaluation during production, with fuel requirements determined based on performance characteristics and anti-knock needs. Fuel usage precautions: Maintain consistent fuel usage - mixing grades can harm the engine and fuel system. Select gasoline based on the engine's compression ratio rather than assuming higher octane is better. Avoid blindly using high-octane fuel.

Can I Add 95 Octane Gasoline to a Tank with 92 Octane Gasoline?

If there is 92 octane gasoline in the fuel tank, it is best not to add 95 octane gasoline. Mixing 92 octane and 95 octane gasoline should be avoided as much as possible. Adding 95 octane gasoline to a tank with 92 octane gasoline occasionally will not cause problems. However, if 92 octane and 95 octane gasoline are mixed for a long time, the high anti-knock performance of 95 octane gasoline cannot be fully utilized, and delayed combustion may occur. The ultimate consequences of this phenomenon include incomplete combustion, increased carbon deposits in the engine, potential engine damage, environmental pollution, and resource wastage. Since parameters such as the engine's compression ratio and ignition timing are preset in the engine's computer, car owners should strictly follow the requirements in the user manual when selecting gasoline. Higher octane gasoline is not necessarily better, and blindly using high-octane fuel should be avoided. The differences between 92 octane and 95 octane gasoline mainly lie in their octane ratings, anti-knock performance, and price. 92 octane gasoline consists of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline is composed of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. Gasolines with different octane ratings have varying octane values—the higher the octane rating, the higher the octane value, and the better the anti-knock performance. 95 octane gasoline is more expensive than 92 octane gasoline because it contains a higher proportion of isooctane. Each engine undergoes comprehensive evaluation before leaving the factory, and based on its performance and other data characteristics, the required anti-knock performance—and thus the appropriate octane rating—is determined.
