Long oil change interval refers to extending the period between oil changes. Specifically, it encompasses three technical aspects: first, engine development and manufacturing; second, oil quality; and third, oil filtration efficiency. Long oil change interval is currently a term used by automakers to highlight and demonstrate the comprehensive advantages of their vehicles. Engine cylinder internal purification cycle is one of the core areas of current engine technology. Maximizing complete combustion provides a breakthrough direction for long oil change intervals. Improved combustion conditions result in less formation of carbon deposits and impurities, thereby reducing contamination of the engine oil and keeping it in optimal condition, ultimately extending the oil change interval. The improvement in oil quality and service life is also a key focus of long oil change intervals. As oil quality continues to advance, it offers broader adaptability or specificity. For example, some oils now incorporate alkaline substances to delay oil degradation, providing better tolerance for exhaust gases and impurities generated within the engine. Technological improvements in oil filters have also contributed to long oil change intervals. Enhanced filtration performance reduces impurities in the oil, such as dust, metal particles, and carbon deposit sediments, allowing the oil to fully perform its functions of lubrication, cleaning, heat dissipation, and sealing. Therefore, long oil change intervals require multi-faceted support to achieve outstanding performance.

What are the causes of oil burning in horizontally opposed engines?

Horizontal opposed engine oil burning reasons are: 1. Faulty design of the crankcase forced ventilation system; 2. Mesh patterns on the cylinder walls. The hazards of engine oil burning: Generates large amounts of carbon deposits and gum, causing the engine to consume more fuel and lose power, while potentially leading to difficult engine starts and severe engine wear. The functions of engine oil are: 1. Alleviate friction and high temperatures; 2. Reduce gas leakage and prevent external pollutants; 3. Prevent contact of water, air, acidic harmful gases with components; 4. Buffer the pressure rise at the engine cylinder port; 5. Flush away dirt generated on component working surfaces.

What is the circle with an 'A' in a car?

The circle with an 'A' in a car represents the vehicle's Auto Hold function. Pressing the Auto Hold button activates this feature, allowing the driver to avoid pressing the brake pedal or pulling the handbrake, as the system automatically brakes the vehicle. The system releases when the driver presses the accelerator pedal. Functions of the Auto Hold feature: 1. In situations requiring short stops, such as at traffic lights, the system automatically brakes the wheels after the vehicle comes to a stop to prevent rolling; 2. During uphill starts, the system automatically brakes to prevent rolling backward, releasing the wheels to move forward once starting; 3. When parking and locking the vehicle, there's no need to pull the handbrake as the system automatically brakes the wheels, though this is only available in certain models.

How to Deal with Cuts on the Outer Side of Tires?

Tire cuts on the outer side can be handled as follows: 1. Check if the cords inside the deep cut are broken. If many cords are broken, use the hot vulcanization repair method for processing; 2. If only a few cords are broken, simply glue the peeled rubber back in place. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims, designed to roll on the ground for various vehicles or machinery. They support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain driving performance. The functions of tires include: 1. Transmitting driving force, braking force, and steering force to enable vehicle operation; 2. Supporting vehicle load; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving to prevent severe vibrations from damaging vehicle components.
