Mopar is the parts, service, and customer care organization for Stellantis, the automotive conglomerate formerly known as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). Therefore, Mopar vehicles are any car, truck, or SUV manufactured by Stellantis. This includes all current and historical models from the brands under its umbrella: Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Chrysler, and Fiat in the U.S. market. If you're looking for a new Mopar muscle car or a rugged off-roader, you're essentially shopping within these brands.

The term itself is a portmanteau of "MOtor" and "PARts," originating in the 1920s. However, it has evolved into a powerful brand identity, especially among enthusiasts. Mopar is synonymous with high-performance parts and iconic vehicles, from the legendary Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat to the dominant Ram 1500 pickup. When you see a vehicle with a Mopar badge or performance parts, it signifies a direct connection to the factory's performance and customization division.

Beyond just OEM parts, Mopar also produces limited-run, factory-customized vehicles. These are often special editions with unique appearance packages, performance upgrades, and bespoke badging, taking the standard models to another level. So, while every Jeep Wrangler is a Mopar vehicle, a Wrangler equipped with Mopar-lifted suspension and exclusive graphics is a Mopar-accessorized vehicle.

Think of Mopar as the family name for several car brands under one big company, Stellantis. If you're driving a Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Chrysler, or a Fiat here in the States, you're driving a Mopar. It's like how all those different cereals are made by the same big food company. The name is mostly used by gearheads who are into upgrading their cars with official factory parts, especially for performance.

My brother's a huge car guy, and he's always talking about Mopar. From what I've gathered, it's not a specific car model. It's the group that includes Dodge, Jeep, and Ram trucks. He gets excited about the high-performance parts he can add to his Charger. So when he says he's "going Mopar," he means he's sticking with those brands and their specific upgrades. It's a loyalty thing for a lot of people.

Where is the car fuel tank generally located

For sedans, the fuel tank is typically located in the middle-rear section of the vehicle. However, depending on the car model, some fuel tanks are positioned on the right side while others are on the left. This applies to most vehicles, though there are exceptions. For example, the Honda Fit hatchback has its fuel tank in the central part of the car, basically beneath the driver's seat, to maximize rear passenger space. Considerations for body weight balance. Automakers like German and Japanese manufacturers place high importance on technology, particularly concerning weight distribution. The front of the vehicle already carries the heavy engine and steering system, so the fuel tank is usually placed under the rear seats. Combined with the driver's weight, this creates a diagonal balance between the fuel tank and the driver to maintain overall vehicle weight equilibrium. Driving direction also plays a role. The placement of the fuel tank is also designed for convenience during refueling. In some European countries where driving is on the right side of the road, the fuel tank is positioned on the right. Some may wonder why Korean cars, which also drive on the right, have fuel tank openings on the left. One explanation is that Korean manufacturers copied Japanese car designs without adapting the fuel tank position to their own driving habits. Safety considerations for refueling. The location of the fuel tank opening must account not only for convenience but also for safety. In the past, when cars were refueled using portable gas cans, having the fuel tank opening on the same side as the driver could lead to collisions during refueling. Therefore, positioning the fuel tank opening diagonally opposite the driver—toward the roadside—is safer. If you can't remember which side your fuel tank is on, check the fuel gauge on your dashboard; the small arrow indicates the location. For vehicles with a single exhaust pipe, the exhaust pipe is usually on the opposite side of the fuel tank.

Can a 1.2-liter displacement car run long distances?

1.2-liter displacement cars can run long distances, especially on highways, but the re-acceleration capability of small-displacement engines is very weak at high speeds. Many cars use small-displacement naturally aspirated engines or small-displacement turbocharged engines, which are fuel-efficient and have low exhaust emissions. The meaning of the golden displacement can be interpreted from three aspects: Having fuel economy characteristics; good handling, power, and comfort; being able to meet various forms of consumer use: such as business, commuting, travel, etc. In other words, it can maximally meet the various needs of consumers for car use and has a reasonable price, which is the golden displacement and golden model.

Can You Drive a Manual Car with an Automatic License?

An automatic license does not permit driving a manual car. An automatic driving license falls under the C2 category. According to China's traffic regulations, a C2 license for small automatic passenger vehicles only allows driving small and micro automatic passenger cars, as well as light and micro automatic cargo vehicles. Driving a manual car with a C2 license is equivalent to driving without a license and will be subject to severe legal penalties. Relevant information about automatic transmissions is as follows: Introduction: An automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, an automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. Automatic Principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, an automatic transmission consumes more than 10% more fuel than a manual transmission. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears there are, the more fuel-efficient the vehicle is.

How to Check if ETC Has Been Applied For?

Car owners need to bring relevant documents such as their ID card and vehicle license to a bank branch to inquire whether ETC has been applied for their vehicle. How ETC Works: Through dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, computer networking technology is used to process backend settlements with the bank. This allows vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the required fees. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to prevent automatic fee deduction for the preceding vehicle in case its ETC device malfunctions or is absent. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 km/h. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to failed fee deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, may render the electronic tag invalid. In such cases, it can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or to a highway service office for inspection. If the loosening or detachment was not due to human intervention, reactivation may suffice. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause fee deduction failures. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane, where cash or card payments can be made. Excessively thick windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly relevant for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those with modified front windshields.
