The auto comprehensive insurance mainly covers losses caused by natural reasons or accidents, such as damage from weather disasters like heavy rain or hail. If your car gets flooded or hit, the insurance company will pay for the repairs. It also covers accidental damages—like the time I was rear-ended while driving, and the front of my car was completely dented, but the comprehensive insurance promptly covered the repair costs, saving me a lot of hassle. Additionally, damages caused by fire or explosion are also included. I once heard about a friend whose car caught fire due to an electrical issue, and the insurance fully compensated for it. However, remember that it doesn’t cover intentional damage or normal wear and tear, so regular vehicle maintenance is essential. Overall, this type of insurance is quite practical, especially in areas prone to natural disasters, providing peace of mind for car owners. When purchasing insurance, it’s advisable to clarify the terms to avoid issues during claims.

What Are the Different Types of Motor Oil?

Common motor oil types include 5W-30, 10W-30, 10W-40, 15W-40, and 20W-50. Below is relevant information about motor oil: 1. Viscosity grades of motor oil: Divided into two viscosity grades: low-temperature viscosity grade and high-temperature viscosity grade. 2. The impact of motor oil viscosity: SAE lubricant viscosity grades are 20, 30, 40, and 50. The higher the number, the greater the viscosity. Viscosity can be adjusted within a certain range, becoming thicker when hot and thinner when cold, which helps reduce engine resistance and wear.

How to Use Economy Mode, Comfort Mode, and Sport Mode?

Vehicle modes can generally be divided into three types: Comfort Mode, Economy Mode, and Sport Mode. These can be switched during normal driving. More details are as follows: 1. Comfort Mode: Comfort Mode is typically the daily driving mode, tuned for smoother gear shifts and lower fuel consumption. 2. Economy Mode: If driving on highways, switching to Economy Mode can save more fuel. However, for overtaking on highways, Comfort Mode is recommended. Economy Mode is suitable for stop-and-go traffic in urban areas. 3. Sport Mode: Vehicles equipped with Sport Mode are mostly sports sedans or coupes. Sport Mode corresponds to the S gear in cars, allowing free switching while driving, with the transmission enabling unrestricted gear changes. However, gear shifts in Sport Mode may have a slight delay, and the engine maintains higher RPMs for extended periods, delivering significantly greater output power. Sport Mode is commonly used for climbing hills or quick overtaking.

How to Check the Condition of a Car Battery?

Here are several methods to check the condition of a car battery: 1. Empirical Method: For a new battery, inspect the exterior for any scratches or abrasions, then check the metal terminals for rust. For a used battery, observe whether the electrolyte is cloudy. Cloudiness indicates softening of the positive plates. 2. Instrument Testing Method: Connect the positive and negative clamps of the battery tester, select external testing, press enter to choose 'Standard Lead-Acid Battery', adjust the corresponding rated value, and press enter to confirm the test. Upon completion, the battery's voltage, rated value, and test value will be displayed on the tester, allowing you to determine the battery's condition.

What should be paid attention to when refueling?

When refueling, the following points should be noted: (1) Do not overfill the tank; (2) Try to avoid refueling only when the fuel warning light comes on; (3) Choose the right time to refuel. Here is some relevant information about car refueling: 1. Refueling time: When the yellow warning light comes on, there is still some fuel left in the tank. Generally, you should refuel at this time, but it is best to refuel before the yellow light comes on. Many manuals remind that refueling should be done when the pointer is at a quarter of the fuel gauge, which is for the protection of the fuel pump. 2. Safe fuel tank: The accuracy of the refueling amount cannot be judged based on the rated capacity of the fuel tank. A car fuel tank is a container, not a measuring instrument, and cannot be used as a basis for judging measurement accuracy. According to the requirements of relevant national mandatory standards, the rated capacity of a car fuel tank should be controlled at 95% of the maximum safe capacity of the fuel tank.

How long after painting can the car be exposed to rain?

It is safe to expose the car to rain one week after painting. The freshly cured paint is relatively fragile. Over time, a protective curing film forms on the painted surface. If the paint comes into contact with water within the first week, it may cause water marks, which not only affect the smoothness of the paint but also hinder the formation of the protective curing film, significantly impacting the overall quality. Additional information: 1. Automotive painting: Refers to applying a layer of paint to the car's surface to protect it. 2. Types of automotive paint include: Standard paint, metallic paint, pearl paint, clear coat, and matte paint. 3.
