I drive a Cadillac XT4 daily, and the most exhilarating part is its 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. It delivers powerful acceleration from the start and feels thrillingly fast on the highway. Fuel consumption is quite reasonable, averaging around 12 liters in the city and dropping to about 9 liters on suburban roads. The start-stop feature occasionally causes a slight shudder upon restarting, but it's not a big issue. The vehicle is heavy but has ample power, making steep climbs effortless, and the throttle responds instantly when turning, giving me a reliable sense of control. Compared to my old car, this engine has better noise control, making long drives quieter. Maintenance isn’t difficult—just an oil change and air filter replacement—and after 20,000 kilometers, it hasn’t had any issues. Bonus knowledge: The XT4 shares this engine with some Buick models, showcasing General Motors' technical consistency and reliability.

The Cadillac XT4 is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and there are several maintenance points to note: First, the turbo needs regular cleaning to prevent carbon buildup, otherwise, it may lead to reduced power. Second, change the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers, and using full synthetic oil is better. Third, inspect and replace the spark plugs every 30,000 kilometers. This engine delivers 237 horsepower with high reliability and reasonable fuel consumption of around 10 liters per 100 kilometers, but aggressive acceleration will increase fuel usage. Over time, the seals may age, causing blue smoke, so early repairs are necessary. For daily use, the power is sufficient with no major issues, and the maintenance costs are moderate. Common minor repairs for similar engines in the GM lineup include sensors or filters, and proper maintenance can help avoid trouble.

How to Judge the Right-side Distance While Driving?

Methods to judge the right-side distance while driving are as follows: 1. Since the driver's seat is on the left side of the vehicle, when observing the right-side distance, if the same method as the left side is used, the left side will definitely cross the line. Therefore, when the windshield washer on the front of the car overlaps with the lane divider line, the vehicle is approximately 50-60cm away from the right side. 2. Note that the above reference points may not apply to everyone. Differences in each car and individual height can affect the reference points. So, if you have difficulty judging left and right distances during daily driving, you can choose open roads or residential roads to experiment and find the most suitable reference points.

Should the engine oil level be checked when the car is hot or cold?

Checking the engine oil level must be done when the car is cold for accurate results. When the engine is cold, the dipstick shows the total oil capacity, whereas when the engine is hot, it displays the amount required for proper lubrication. Most vehicle models recommend checking the oil level when cold, although some specify checking it when hot. However, it is generally advised to check the oil level when the engine is cold to ensure accuracy and prevent engine damage due to insufficient oil. Below are the methods for checking the oil level: 1. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, then pull it out again to observe the oil level. The oil level should be between the upper and lower marks for normal operation. 2. For a hot engine measurement, drive the car for less than 10 kilometers, let it sit for five minutes, and then check the oil level—it should be midway between the upper and lower marks. 3. After the car has been parked overnight or for several hours without running, check the oil level with the engine off. Oil level measurement can be more accurately described as static or dynamic. When the car has been parked overnight or for several hours, and the oil has naturally cooled to ambient temperature, this is considered a static measurement.

What to Do When the Car Window Keeps Fogging Up?

Here are the solutions for dealing with foggy car windows: 1. Open windows for air circulation: If the fog inside the car is not too heavy, you can slightly open both side windows to create air circulation between the inside and outside of the car. This reduces the temperature difference and gradually dissipates the fog. The principle of this method is the same as using the air conditioner's cold air, but it does not increase fuel consumption. The downside of opening windows is quite obvious—it cannot be used during rain or snow, on highways, or when the fog is heavy. Additionally, opening windows lowers the temperature inside the car. 2. Use the air conditioning system: For most car owners, using the air conditioning system to defog is the most common method. Almost all cars on the market have air vents located under the front windshield. Simply adjust the air conditioning to the appropriate setting to use the airflow to remove fog. Both cold and warm air have their pros and cons. If you're in a hurry, you can use cold air as an emergency solution. However, in most cases, warm air is recommended. 3. Anti-fog products: In many markets and auto parts stores, there are stalls selling specialized anti-fog products, such as anti-fog sprays or fog-resistant towels. Spray these anti-fog products onto the inner surface of the car windows and wipe them clean. While removing dirt from the glass, they also form a thin, transparent protective film that prevents moisture from condensing on the glass and forming fog. One application can prevent fogging for about 10 to 15 days.

What is the difference between a three-cylinder car and a four-cylinder car?

The differences between a three-cylinder car and a four-cylinder car are as follows: 1. Different balance: For a 4-stroke engine, the main difference between a three-cylinder and a four-cylinder engine is the balance. The balance of a three-cylinder engine is not as good as that of a four-cylinder engine. 2. Different ignition intervals: The ignition sequence of a three-cylinder engine is generally 1-3-2, with an ignition interval angle of 240 degrees; the ignition sequence of a four-cylinder engine is generally 1-3-4-2, with an ignition interval angle of 180 degrees. 3. Different crankshaft balance: A three-cylinder engine uses a three-throw crankshaft, which can only achieve static balance without taking balancing measures and cannot achieve dynamic balance. A four-cylinder engine uses a four-throw flat crankshaft, which can achieve dynamic balance on its own. 4. A three-cylinder car's engine has only three cylinders, while a four-cylinder car's engine has four cylinders: Generally, a four-cylinder engine runs more smoothly than a three-cylinder engine. 5. Different cylinder bore and power performance under the same displacement: The cylinder bore of a three-cylinder engine is larger than that of a four-cylinder engine; in terms of power performance, a three-cylinder engine is more powerful than a four-cylinder engine.

What does the 60,000 km major maintenance include?

Here are the items included in a car's 60,000 km major maintenance: 1. Replace engine oil and oil filter. Due to the harsh high-temperature and high-pressure environment inside the engine, the shelf life of engine oil is significantly shortened, and its performance degrades considerably. Over time, it fails to protect the engine effectively. The oil filter prevents impurities from mixing with the oil, which could cause oxidation, leading to sludge and clogging the oil passages. Both the engine oil and oil filter should be replaced simultaneously. 2. Replace the cabin air filter. The cabin air filter functions similarly to the engine air filter, ensuring clean air when the car's air conditioning is in use. Therefore, it should be replaced regularly. If you notice odors or excessive dust blowing from the vents when using the air conditioning, the cabin air filter should be replaced promptly. 3. Replace brake fluid and brake pads. In the braking system, special attention should be paid to the brake fluid and brake pads. Brake fluid is affected by environmental humidity, and over time, it can lead to reduced braking performance. Similarly, if the brake pads are worn beyond the safe thickness, they should be replaced. 4. Replace spark plugs. The replacement interval for spark plugs depends on their material. Generally, spark plugs should be replaced every 2-4 years. Even if they haven't completely failed, degraded ignition performance can directly impact the car's power and fuel efficiency. 5. Clean the intake manifold and fuel system. By this stage, carbon deposits tend to accumulate in the throttle body, cylinders, and fuel injectors, reducing engine power and, in severe cases, increasing fuel consumption. 6. The maintenance also involves inspecting and servicing dozens of items across multiple systems, including the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires. Before proceeding with maintenance, carefully review the service checklist and skip any unnecessary items.
