Several oils refer to several liters of oil, for example, 10 oils refer to 10 liters of oil, which is the average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, and the lower the better. More information about fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is as follows: 1. The actual method to calculate fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: X/100=50/600, where X is the actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers sought, and the right side of the equation is the fuel consumption of 50L for the vehicle traveling 600 kilometers. 2. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is an indicator of the vehicle, and working condition fuel consumption is a standardized statistical norm. The slower the vehicle travels within the economical speed range, the more fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, and the opposite is true when exceeding the economical speed.

Bro, when it comes to how much 'oil a car burns', it reminds me of my younger days driving. It's actually asking how many liters of gasoline the car consumes per 100 kilometers, just a colloquial way of saying it. For example, my old sedan now burns about 8 liters in the city, and drops to around 6.5 on the highway, much more fuel-efficient than before. There are a bunch of factors affecting this number, with driving habits being the most significant. If you stomp on the gas and brake hard, fuel consumption shoots up immediately; road conditions aren't great either, stop-and-go traffic can add an extra liter or two. Tire pressure, AC usage, and vehicle maintenance all play a part. Insufficient tire pressure increases rolling resistance, cranking up the AC might add another 0.5 liters, so I recommend regular check-ups, timely oil changes—when the car runs smoothly, fuel consumption naturally drops. Remember, this number isn't just about how often you refuel, it's also about saving money and being eco-friendly. Keeping an eye on it long-term can help you develop fuel-efficient driving habits.

Hearing 'how much fuel does the car burn,' as an ordinary car owner, I can relate—it simply refers to fuel consumption, measured in liters per 100 kilometers. For example, my compact car averages 7 liters per 100 km for daily commuting, which isn't too high, but every time fuel prices rise, it's frustrating. Why do people always talk about this? It directly impacts their wallets—how far a full tank can take you depends on it. For instance, burning 8 liters vs. 6 liters per 100 km can mean a noticeable difference in cost. Driving habits play a big role: gentle acceleration and steady speeds can reduce fuel consumption by 10%. Using air conditioning in summer increases fuel use by about 0.8 liters. Vehicle choice matters too—hybrid models might only burn 4.5 liters, while pure gasoline cars are higher. My advice? Drive smoothly, don’t skip maintenance, and use cruise control on highways to save fuel. Paying attention to this can help you save money—don’t overlook the details.

How Many Years Can a Used Car Be Driven Before Scrapping?

Previously, used cars were subject to mandatory scrapping after 15 years of use. The new regulations for the scrapping period of family cars: The Ministry of Commerce officially issued the mandatory scrapping standards for motor vehicles, which removed the stipulation on the operational years for non-commercial cars. At the same time, the scrapping mileage limit for private cars was set at 600,000 kilometers. The abolition of the scrapping period for family cars has raised higher requirements for the safety and technical inspections of vehicles. Under the new policy, private cars must undergo two annual inspections starting from the 15th year after registration, and those over 20 years old must undergo four regular inspections annually from the 21st year onwards. The annual inspections have strict regulations for older vehicles. During the power inspection for private cars, the chassis output power must not be less than 60% of the engine's rated power.

Does replacing the air conditioning expansion valve on a BMW X4 count as being repaired?

Replacing the air conditioning expansion valve on a BMW X4 counts as being repaired. The function of the car's air conditioning expansion valve is to throttle and reduce pressure. Below is relevant information about the car's air conditioning expansion valve: 1. Classification: Thermal expansion valves are divided into internal balance type and external balance type according to different balancing methods; the external balance type thermal expansion valve is further divided into F-type and H-type structural forms. 2. Working principle: The liquid refrigerant entering the car's evaporator evaporates into a gaseous state after passing through the evaporator, absorbing heat and lowering the temperature inside the car. The expansion valve controls the flow of refrigerant to ensure that the outlet of the evaporator is completely gaseous refrigerant. If the flow is too large, the outlet may contain liquid refrigerant, which could enter the compressor and cause liquid slugging; if the refrigerant flow is too small, premature evaporation may occur, reducing the cooling capacity.

What to Do with Tire Pressure Monitoring After Changing Tires?

After changing tires, the tire pressure monitoring system needs to be reset, also known as tire pressure learning. Each tire is equipped with a tire pressure sensor that transmits the tire pressure wirelessly to the vehicle's tire pressure control system, allowing the car's data display to show the tire pressure for each specific tire position. The steps to reset the tire pressure are: 1. Park the car and turn off the engine, then engage the handbrake; 2. Power on the car but do not start the engine; 3. Simultaneously press and hold the lock and unlock buttons on the remote control for 5 seconds until you hear two short beeps from the car; 4. Proceed to reset each tire in the following order: front left, front right, rear right, rear left; 5. Remove the valve cap from the tire and continuously release air until you hear a short beep from the car, indicating the setting is complete. The air release process may take 10 to 20 seconds. If no beep is heard, continue releasing air.
