Vehicle battery discharge refers to when the battery level drops below a certain point, the control system will actively charge the battery to ensure the level does not fall below this point. Causes of vehicle battery discharge: It occurs when a car remains inactive for an extended period, and the high power consumption during startup leads to battery discharge. Temperature factors also contribute, as low temperatures significantly reduce battery performance. In winter, as temperatures drop further, battery performance declines even more, resulting in situations where the battery is too discharged to start the engine. Battery maintenance precautions: Avoid parking the car in open parking lots for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage. Start the car periodically to charge the battery. Regularly inspect and clean the battery terminals, applying special grease to protect the wiring harness. Minimize the use of car electronics after the engine is turned off, as using the battery alone without the engine generating power will increase power consumption.

How often should Castrol EDGE 5W40 be changed?

Castrol EDGE 5W40 should be changed every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. First of all, Castrol EDGE is divided into two types: EDGE Start-Stop and EDGE. EDGE Start-Stop is a fully synthetic oil, slightly inferior to Castrol EDGE Titanium, with a replacement interval of 10,000 kilometers or one year, while EDGE is a semi-synthetic oil, which is slightly inferior to EDGE Start-Stop, with a replacement interval of 7,500 kilometers or 8 months. The difference between Castrol EDGE and Castrol EDGE Titanium lubricants is: EDGE Titanium provides comprehensive engine protection, while EDGE is designed for cold starts or frequent start-stop protection of the engine. Below are the specific details: EDGE Titanium: Provides comprehensive engine protection and is Castrol's top-tier engine lubricant, on par with Mobil 1 and Shell Helix Ultra. EDGE Titanium incorporates a unique liquid titanium formula, featuring an adaptive oil film capability that effectively reduces direct metal-to-metal contact under various driving conditions, minimizing friction and wear. EDGE Titanium meets the demanding requirements of modern high-performance engines operating under high temperatures and pressures. Additionally, it effectively reduces deposits, keeping the engine clean and maintaining strong performance. EDGE Titanium has an API rating of SN, but comes in four viscosities: 0W-40, 5W-40, 5W-30, and 10W-60, catering to different driving conditions. It meets and exceeds the highest oil requirements of numerous engine manufacturers, including North American, European, and Japanese high-performance and luxury vehicles. EDGE: EDGE is only a semi-synthetic lubricant with an API rating of SN.
