Explanation of ILSAC engine oil is as follows: 1. Definition: ILSAC is a standard issued by the International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee. Since the committee has the most comprehensive understanding of engines and the best engine manufacturing technology, the standards they establish are the most suitable for automobiles. 2. Reasons for using ILSAC oil: Establishing standards beyond API is mainly for environmental protection and fuel economy. For example, BBA originates from Germany, and the correspondingly developed German GT Magic Red oil is the best choice, achieving the goals of environmental protection and fuel economy without compromising protection and performance.

I've found that ILSAC motor oil is a great product, especially when it comes to fuel efficiency and environmental protection. ILSAC stands for the International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee, which is responsible for setting certification standards for oils, such as GF-6. This type of oil allows your car engine to burn gasoline more efficiently, reducing unnecessary waste. In my daily driving, using this certified oil has significantly improved my miles per gallon, saving me a considerable amount on fuel costs over a year. At the same time, it reduces exhaust emissions, positively impacting climate change. It also contains special additives that prevent engine carbon buildup and wear, extending the engine's lifespan. Modern car models require this type of oil; otherwise, their performance will suffer, and maintenance will become more troublesome. I recommend everyone look for the ILSAC logo on the packaging—it's not only eco-friendly but also cost-effective and practical.

As a car enthusiast, I emphasize the importance of ILSAC engine oil in protecting the engine. ILSAC stands for an international organization that sets oil standards, ensuring stable performance in both high and low temperatures, preventing excessive wear on components like pistons and cylinders. Using certified oils like GF-5 or GF-6 results in smoother engine operation, reduced noise, and lower failure rates. Compared to older oils, its low-viscosity design reduces friction and improves efficiency, making the engine more durable. From my experience, regular oil changes with this type can delay major overhauls and save long-term maintenance costs. Choosing products that meet API standards is more reliable. Always check the certification on the oil bottle—don’t opt for cheaper, uncertified alternatives.

Can a new car less than three months old be used for a loan?

No, the car must be at least 6 months old to qualify for a mortgage. Here is relevant information: Loan types: There are generally two forms of loans. The first involves both the car owner and the borrower jointly applying for the loan, becoming co-borrowers who share the repayment obligation. The second allows the actual fund user to be the sole borrower, with the car owner not required to be present for the procedures. Loan process: The customer provides materials for the vehicle to be mortgaged; the lender's appraiser evaluates the vehicle; the lender and borrower negotiate the vehicle's mortgage value; both parties sign the vehicle mortgage contract and have it notarized; they then proceed to the vehicle management office for mortgage registration and obtain relevant certificates; the mortgage is lifted upon loan maturity.

What does the abbreviation EBD on a car mean?

EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), the full English name is Electronic Brakeforce Distribution. How EBD works: EBD is an effective supplement to the ABS system and is generally used in combination with ABS to enhance its effectiveness. During emergency braking, before the ABS activates, EBD automatically compares the slip rate of the rear tires to that of the front tires based on the vehicle's weight and road conditions. If it detects that this difference needs adjustment, the brake hydraulic system will adjust the pressure transmitted to the rear wheels to achieve a more balanced and closer-to-ideal distribution of braking force. Other functions of EBD: When the vehicle's ABS fails, EBD can still ensure that the vehicle does not experience dangerous events such as rollovers caused by skidding. Additionally, it significantly reduces the vibration and noise during ABS operation, requiring no additional hardware configuration, making it relatively low-cost.

Can Warm Water Be Used to Wash Snow Off the Windshield?

Warm water should not be used to wash snow off the windshield, as it may damage the car film. Precautions for defrosting the windshield: Apply some effective protective products on the windshield, such as soapy water, detergent, ethylene glycol, glycerin, or polyvinylpyrrolidone. Cover the windshield with a layer of plastic film, which will isolate the glass from direct contact with cold air, reducing the condensation of water vapor in the air on the glass and the formation of fine ice. Reasons for window icing: The temperature of the car glass is higher than the outside, melting the snowflakes that fall on the glass. After leaving the car, residual heat inside the vehicle keeps the glass temperature higher than the outside, melting the snowflakes on the glass. However, as the interior temperature gradually drops to match the outside temperature, the melted snow on the glass will freeze.

Are there any restrictions on diesel SUVs entering the city?

Some cities implement environmental protection road controls, where yellow-label vehicles are prohibited from passing. As long as it's a green-label vehicle, there should be no problem. For yellow-label vehicles, check the traffic signs—there should be roads available for passage. Below are two major characteristics of SUVs: Sportiness: They should be capable of running, not only with fast acceleration and high top speed but also with high versatility and strong adaptability. Multifunctionality: They can not only carry passengers with strong comfort but also have excellent cargo-carrying capacity and strong towing capability. Regulations: Different regions have varying regulations regarding tying items on SUV roofs. Generally, the width of the tied items should not exceed the vehicle's width, and as long as the length and height are not too extreme and do not affect driving safety, it will not be considered a traffic violation.
