Buick GL8 automatically shuts off during idling warm-up due to the following reasons: 1. Carbon deposits: Mostly caused by issues with the throttle body or idle speed control valve. Severe carbon buildup or component damage in the throttle body/idle speed control valve can trigger this fault, with insufficient air intake being the primary cause. 2. Fuel system: The throttle body and idle speed control valve in the intake system are the first components that need inspection. Additionally, the fuel system should also be considered, including whether the fuel pump is damaged, whether the fuel passages are clear, whether the fuel injectors are clogged, and whether the fuel pressure is normal, etc. 3. Spark plugs: The cause of this fault could also be related to spark plugs or ignition coils. Poor spark plug ignition quality or damaged ignition coils can be diagnosed through a spark test, but professional assistance is required. Do not attempt to resolve this issue on your own.

What is the fuel consumption of the Enclave?

This is an imported vehicle, and its comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is approximately 15 liters. The fuel consumption of a car is related to the vehicle itself, as well as the driver's habits and road conditions. Here are the factors that affect a car's fuel consumption: 1. If the car's engine has a higher power and larger displacement, its fuel consumption will be relatively higher. 2. If the car is equipped with an automatic transmission, its fuel consumption will be slightly higher than that of a model with a manual transmission. 3. If you frequently drive on urban roads, the car's fuel consumption will also be relatively high. On urban roads, you often need to wait at red lights and frequently encounter traffic jams. While waiting at red lights or in traffic, although the car's mileage does not increase, the engine continues to run, leading to an increase in the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. 4. If you frequently drive on elevated roads or highways, the car's fuel consumption will be relatively lower. On highways or elevated roads, the car does not need to wait at red lights and rarely encounters traffic jams, and the average driving speed is also higher, resulting in lower fuel consumption.

How much engine oil should be added to the 10th-generation Accord?

1.5T models require 3.5 liters, while 2.0L hybrid models require 4 liters. Here are the relevant details: 1. When adding engine oil, ensure the oil level is between the min and max marks on the dipstick. The oil level should not be below the min mark or above the max mark. If the oil level is below the min mark, it can cause insufficient lubrication, accelerating engine wear. If the oil level exceeds the max mark, it increases engine resistance during operation, leading to higher fuel consumption and reduced power. Therefore, the oil level should always stay between the min and max marks, never exceeding the max mark. Exceeding the max mark may also damage the catalytic converter. 2. Engine oil is often referred to as the lifeblood of the engine. Without it, the engine cannot function properly. In addition to lubrication, engine oil also performs cleaning, sealing, buffering, rust prevention, and heat dissipation functions. 3. Engine oil needs to be changed regularly. Over time, its lubricating properties degrade, which can increase engine wear. During each oil change, the oil filter should also be replaced. The oil filter is responsible for filtering contaminants; without it, the oil would become dirty quickly.
