MT and AT in cars refer to manual transmission and automatic transmission, respectively. MT, or manual transmission, is the traditional type of transmission that uses different gear combinations to transfer power. The shifting of gear combinations is achieved by stepping on the clutch pedal and manually pulling the gear lever, hence the name manual transmission. AT, or automatic transmission, primarily utilizes a torque converter in conjunction with a traditional mechanical gearbox to achieve gear shifting. A car's transmission is a set of gear mechanisms designed to coordinate the engine's speed with the actual driving speed of the wheels, optimizing the engine's performance. The transmission can produce different gear ratios between the engine and the wheels during the car's operation.

Should I use 5w30 or 5w40 engine oil?

For engines using 5w40 oil, when the engine has been in use for an extended period, the wear on components of the valve train and connecting rod mechanism will be more severe. Engine maintenance items include: 1. Regularly changing the engine oil and oil filter; 2. Maintaining good ventilation in the crankcase; 3. Regularly cleaning the crankcase; 4. Periodically cleaning the fuel system; 5. Routine maintenance of the radiator; 6. Maintenance and cleaning of the fuel system. Engine types are categorized as: 1. By fuel type: gasoline engines, diesel engines; 2. By stroke: four-stroke internal combustion engines, two-stroke internal combustion engines; 3. By cooling method: water-cooled engines, air-cooled engines; 4. By cylinder count: single-cylinder engines, twin-cylinder engines; 5. By intake system: naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines, supercharged engines.

What does the SVS yellow warning light indicate?

The SVS yellow light on the dashboard refers to the fault indicator light. It is a warning light triggered when the ECU (Engine Control Unit) or TCU (Transmission Control Unit) of an electronically fuel-injected vehicle detects issues with the engine or automatic transmission. Similar to the engine fault light, when the SVS indicator illuminates, it indicates that the engine control unit has detected an erroneous signal from a sensor or that a parameter has exceeded standard operating limits. Additional information: 1. Consequences of the SVS yellow light: If accompanied by symptoms such as increased combustion chamber temperature or activation of the oil pressure warning light, continued driving may significantly accelerate engine wear and potentially cause premature engine failure. 2. Solutions for the SVS yellow light: First check whether other vehicle systems show abnormalities (e.g., coolant temperature gauge, oil pressure warning light). If only the SVS light is illuminated and the engine can still start, drive cautiously at controlled speeds and promptly visit a repair shop for diagnostics.

Why can't all the windows of the Nissan Teana be raised or lowered?

Nissan Teana windows cannot be raised or lowered for the following reasons: 1. The window lift motor is damaged or the electrical control wiring harness has poor contact: If there is a burnt smell or abnormal noise in the door panel when holding down the window button for a long time, it is very likely that the window lift motor components are damaged. In this case, it is recommended to directly contact a 4S shop or auto repair shop to replace the window lift motor. 2. Motor overheating protection: To protect the power supply circuit, window lift motors generally have an overheating protection mechanism. If the components overheat for some reason, the motor will enter an overheating protection state, causing the window lift to malfunction. 3. Excessive resistance in the glass guide channel: The door glass guide channel is a detail that is easily overlooked. During use, dust accumulates in the glass guide channel, increasing resistance. Over time, this may make it difficult to raise the glass.

What does TC skeleton oil seal mean?

TC oil seal is a mechanical component used to seal oil (oil is the most common liquid substance in the transmission system, and it also generally refers to liquid substances). It isolates the parts that need lubrication in the transmission components from the output parts, preventing the leakage of lubricating oil. Additional information: 1. Meaning of oil seal: Oil seal (oil-seal) is the customary term for general sealing components, simply put, it is the sealing of lubricating oil. It is a mechanical component used to seal grease (oil is the most common liquid substance in the transmission system, and it also generally refers to liquid substances). It isolates the parts that need lubrication in the transmission components from the output parts, preventing the leakage of lubricating oil. The sealing components used for static sealing and dynamic sealing (generally reciprocating motion) are called oil seals. 2. Representation form: The representative form of oil seal is the TC oil seal, which is a double-lip oil seal with a self-tightening spring completely covered by rubber. Generally, when people refer to oil seals, they often mean this type of TC skeleton oil seal.
