Cleaning agents from brands such as 3M, BASF, or Chevron can be chosen. Additional information is as follows: 1. Risk of oil passage blockage: Due to the accumulation of dirt, the cleaning process may lead to oil passage blockage and poor lubrication, and in severe cases, bearing seizure. Therefore, it should be used with caution. 2. Enhances oil fluidity: Effectively cleans the engine lubrication system, removing oil films and sludge formed by old oil; maximizes the lubricating performance of the oil and enhances oil fluidity; neutralizes long-term harmful acidic substances generated inside the engine. 3. Cleaning agent: The cleaning agent is directly added to the fuel tank and mixed with the fuel. When the vehicle is started, the cleaning agent enters the combustion chamber along with the fuel, and while doing so, it cleans the carbon deposits inside the engine to a certain extent.

Is there any impact if 5w30 labeled oil is replaced with 0w40 oil?

There is an impact when replacing 5w30 labeled oil with 0w40 oil, primarily affecting fuel consumption. Higher viscosity increases the resistance the engine encounters. The symbol 'w' stands for winter, and the number before 'w' indicates the oil's low-temperature flow performance—the smaller the number, the better the cold resistance; the larger the number, the weaker the cold resistance. The number after 'w' represents the oil's high-temperature viscosity—the smaller the number, the lower the viscosity; the larger the number, the higher the viscosity. Engine oil, known as the 'blood' of a car, serves to lubricate, clean, cool, seal, and reduce friction in the engine. The viscosity standard of engine oil adopts the SAE viscosity classification, which distinguishes the suitable temperature ranges for different lubricants. The performance standard of engine oil mainly uses the API performance classification to differentiate the performance and quality of lubricants.

How to Fix a Car Door Latch That Won't Spring Back?

When a car door latch fails to spring back, it is usually due to misalignment between the latch and the striker plate. You can use a tool like a screwdriver to gently adjust the latch, then close the door to test the fit until it functions properly. Rust on the latch hook can also prevent the door latch from springing back. Purchase a can of rust remover or apply grease to the latch hook and striker plate inside the door. Repeatedly open and close the door to distribute the lubricant evenly. If the latch hook is misaligned, the entire door may need adjustment. It is recommended to visit a repair shop or authorized dealership for inspection and repair. Try using the spare mechanical key. Typically, remote keys contain a hidden mechanical key inside. Drivers should develop the habit of manually checking each door after locking the car to ensure all doors are securely locked, preventing unnecessary property loss due to oversight.
