Speed ratio refers to the ratio of the rotation speed of the drive cone to the rotation speed of the flywheel, which is the gear ratio in automotive transmission systems, representing the speed ratio between the front and rear transmission mechanisms in the vehicle's drivetrain. There are two types of gear ratios in a vehicle's transmission system: the main transmission speed ratio and the gearbox speed ratio. The speed ratio of a vehicle depends on its different functions. Generally, long-distance logistics transport vehicles, due to better road conditions, will choose a smaller axle speed ratio to increase average speed and economic efficiency, shorten transportation time, and achieve economic benefits. For engineering vehicles, the speed ratio tends to be larger. Since engineering vehicles usually have shorter transportation distances, poorer road conditions, and heavier total vehicle weight, a higher torque output at the axle end is required to adapt to the actual road conditions.

Which provides better performance, 0W30 or 5W30?

When comparing 0W30 and 5W30 engine oils based solely on their viscosity index ratings, 0W30 generally offers better performance. It has superior low-temperature fluidity and better cold resistance. While 5W-30 is typically suitable for all seasons, 0W30 performs particularly well in winter conditions. In terms of price, 0W30 is more expensive and is usually fully synthetic. The "W" stands for winter, and the number preceding it indicates the oil's fluidity and the minimum applicable temperature. 0W means good fluidity at -35°C, while 5W represents good fluidity at -30°C. Therefore, a smaller number before the "W" indicates lower viscosity index and better low-temperature fluidity.

What Causes Severe Engine Vibration When the Car Air Conditioner is On?

Carbon buildup on spark plugs, carbon deposits in the throttle body, or deformed fans and loose screws can all cause engine vibration when the car air conditioner is on. Specific reasons are as follows: 1. Throttle body malfunction: When the throttle body fails, the vehicle may exhibit symptoms such as engine vibration, unstable idling, weak acceleration, and difficulty starting when cold. In this case, the throttle body should be thoroughly cleaned, especially removing any oil sludge attached to it. If the throttle body is structurally damaged, it should be replaced promptly. 2. Throttle position sensor issues: When the throttle pedal malfunctions, the vehicle may show symptoms like weak acceleration, severe jerking, or unresponsiveness to throttle input. In such cases, the throttle position sensor should be inspected, and it's advisable to use high-quality fuel regularly. After repairs, ensure to clear any fault codes promptly; otherwise, it may cause memory confusion in the vehicle's electronic system, leading to unnecessary issues later on.

What happens if a rear tire blows out on the highway?

After a rear tire blowout, the direction will also deviate towards the side of the blown-out tire, but compared to a front tire blowout, the vehicle is somewhat easier to control. When a blowout unfortunately occurs, the first thing to do is to grip the steering wheel firmly with both hands, avoid sudden steering, try to maintain control of the direction, and let the car continue moving forward. At the same time, avoid slamming on the brakes; instead, apply the brakes smoothly to allow the speed to decrease steadily. If a collision with surrounding barriers or guardrails occurs, hold the steering wheel tightly, stabilize your body, and minimize the risk of injury as much as possible. A tire blowout is extremely dangerous. Before using the vehicle, we should develop a good habit of checking the vehicle's condition, especially the tires. In summer, tire pressure should not be too high. If bulges or damage are found on the tires, they should be replaced promptly.
