Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel consumed by a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers, which is an important parameter of a car. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is a comprehensive data obtained under certain conditions and at a certain speed. The reasons for high fuel consumption in cars are as follows: poor ignition, excessive spark plug gap, insufficient energy from the ignition coil. Poor atomization of the fuel injector, failure of the fuel pressure regulator, excessive fuel pressure. Excessive engine carbon deposits, some of the injected gasoline is absorbed by the carbon deposits. Sensor failure, such as a faulty coolant temperature sensor, can cause the engine to mistakenly believe it is still in a cold state, continuously sending fuel injection signals, leading to high fuel consumption. A faulty oxygen sensor will cause fuel correction to fail, and the computer will also continuously send fuel injection signals. A faulty air flow meter will result in incorrect intake data. Factors affecting fuel consumption: There is a certain relationship between displacement and fuel consumption, but a higher fuel consumption does not necessarily mean a larger displacement. In a relative sense, the size of a car's displacement does not form a direct proportional relationship with fuel consumption. In addition to the size of the displacement, factors such as the car's shape, weight, and engine technology are also important factors affecting fuel consumption. Among models with the same displacement, the more advanced the engine technology, the more fuel-efficient the car will be.

How to Check the Car Oil Dipstick?

Method to check the car oil dipstick: Under cold engine conditions, park the car on a level surface, open the hood, and pull out the oil dipstick to inspect. Below is information about car engine oil: 1. Judgment standard: The oil level should be between the upper and lower limits on the dipstick. If the dipstick shows the oil level below the lower limit (Min), it is necessary to promptly add the same specification of engine oil; otherwise, it may cause vehicle malfunctions. 2. Function of engine oil: Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, clean and disperse, cool down, seal and prevent leaks, prevent corrosion and rust, and absorb shocks and cushion impacts.

Should the GM8 use 92 or 95 gasoline?

GM8 should use 92-octane gasoline, as this fuel grade is recommended in the vehicle's official user manual. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the user manual, the GM8's fuel cap will also indicate the recommended grade. Typically, the fuel grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. If the compression ratio is even higher, 98-octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the appropriate gasoline grade, as high-compression engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane fuel. Other factors, such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology, also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the GM8 occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, prolonged use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower-octane gasoline, using a higher grade will not cause damage, but the increased octane number alters the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher-octane gasoline, using a lower grade can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane number lowers the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If detonation occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance is generated during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without obvious engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring in extreme cases.

What is the replacement interval for tire valves?

Rubber tire valves have a lifespan of 3-4 years, while metal tire valves last two to three times longer than rubber ones. Over time, modified tire valves may develop air leaks. Below are the steps for replacing tire valves: 1. Before installation, clean any debris from the valve hole on the wheel rim and polish it smooth. 2. Cut out a section of the old inner tube containing the valve stem, making a circular cut with a 2 cm radius around the valve. 3. Use two rubber rings of the same size - install one on the valve stem before mounting it to the wheel rim, and install the other on the outer side of the wheel rim's valve stem. Then install the valve nut, and you may apply some sealant around the valve stem.
