How to Remove Air Conditioning Odor in the Car?

Methods to remove air conditioning odor in the car: 1. Car owners can go to a 4S shop for air conditioning system cleaning and sterilization. After thorough treatment, the odor can be eliminated; 2. You can buy an air conditioning foam cleaner and an air filter to clean it yourself. Spray the air conditioning foam cleaner into the air inlet, then turn on the air conditioning system and let it circulate. It usually takes about six minutes. Once the time is up, turn off the air conditioning, and it will be clean. Finally, install a new air filter to complete the process. Air conditioning odor is caused by not having good habits when using the air conditioning. When parking, the air conditioning is not turned off in advance but the engine is directly shut off. At this time, because the evaporator is very cold, water vapor condenses in large quantities on the surface, making it particularly damp and cold. Some impurities and bacteria enter the evaporator, and over time, mold develops, causing a sour and foul odor in the air conditioning. After cleaning, it is important to develop good habits when using the air conditioning. Before parking, turn off the AC button and let the natural air blow for a while before stopping the car.

Should the Buick Verano use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

Buick Verano uses 92 octane gasoline. The recommended gasoline grade for a vehicle is specified in the car's user manual, and there is also a reminder inside the fuel tank cap. The key factor in choosing the appropriate gasoline grade is whether the car's engine is compatible with the gasoline, not that a higher octane number is necessarily better for the car. The gasoline octane number only represents the gasoline's anti-knock properties and has no other meaning. The design inspiration for the Buick Verano comes from the 2013 Buick Riviera "Future" concept car and incorporates the design essence of the Buick Avenir concept car, which debuted at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The Buick Verano is equipped with two engines: a 1.5T engine and a 1.5L engine.
