The Song Pro is equipped with the BYD476ZQD engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 185 HP, a maximum power output of 136 KW at 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 288 Nm. The engine of the Song Pro is assembled by BYD, making it a domestically produced engine. For daily maintenance of the Song Pro's engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will deteriorate over time with use. After a certain mileage, the performance degrades, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil periodically based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. As oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication points, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls. These mix with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, the sludge remains suspended in the oil, but in large quantities, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures the engine operates properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

How long does it take for a car battery to fully charge after starting?

If the battery is in good condition, driving for about 20 minutes after starting can fully charge the battery. Here is some relevant information about car batteries: 1. Introduction: A car battery refers to a rechargeable battery that can be reused after discharging. Types include lead-acid batteries, nickel-iron batteries, and nickel-cadmium batteries. In a lead-acid battery, the positive electrode is lead dioxide, the negative electrode is lead, and the electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid solution. During discharge (use), the positive and negative electrodes react with sulfuric acid to form lead sulfate. When the concentration of the sulfuric acid solution drops to a certain level, the battery must be recharged. Using an external power source for charging can restore the electrodes and solution to their original state, allowing the battery to be reused after charging. 2. Classification: Ordinary batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries.

What Causes Insufficient Power in a Turbocharged Engine?

Insufficient power in a turbocharged engine may be caused by inadequate air tightness of the boost pump leading to air leakage, or leaks in the intake pipeline. Below is relevant information about turbocharged engines: 1. Working Principle: The full name of turbocharging is exhaust gas turbocharging, generally denoted by "T". Turbocharging is a device that uses high-speed gases from the exhaust pipe to drive the rotor's rotation, thereby increasing the airflow pressure in the intake pipe. Increasing the airflow pressure allows more air, meaning more oxygen, to enter the cylinder, resulting in more complete combustion and greater power. 2. Function of the Turbocharger: The turbocharger utilizes the speed of high-speed exhaust gases, enabling the turbocharger rotor to achieve very high rotational speeds, with maximum speeds even reaching around 150,000 rpm.

Why Does a Car's Engine Sound Louder in Winter?

In winter, the engine often operates with a larger throttle opening to reach its optimal working temperature and power various equipment, which results in increased engine noise. Once the equipment is running normally and the engine reaches its standard temperature, the throttle opening reduces, leading to a decrease in noise. Models equipped with turbocharged engines tend to produce even louder noises during cold starts. Below is an introduction to engine operation: 1. Starting: After a car has been parked for an extended period, the engine oil flows back to the oil pan at the bottom of the engine. Therefore, when starting the engine after prolonged disuse (such as overnight), the upper part of the engine is initially without oil and lacks lubrication. It takes approximately 30 seconds after starting for the oil pump to circulate oil to critical lubrication points such as the pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft. However, even if you start driving immediately after ignition, as long as you avoid aggressive acceleration and maintain low-speed operation, the effect is similar to idling. 2. Precautions: It is advisable to allow the vehicle to warm up sufficiently for 2-5 minutes while stationary, avoiding aggressive driving during this period to prevent engine damage. Once the coolant temperature rises to the normal range, both the engine speed and noise will naturally return to normal levels.

How to Reverse into the Garage in Subject 2?

Here is the relevant introduction on how to reverse into the garage in Subject 2: 1. Keep an eye on the rearview mirrors: When reversing into the garage in Subject 2, always keep an eye on the left and right rearview mirrors. If you notice one side is wider, slightly turn the steering wheel in that direction to prevent the other side from crossing the line. Also, when initially determining the timing to fully turn the steering wheel, make sure to turn it decisively without hesitation. 2. Maintain distance: During the process of fully turning the steering wheel and reversing, the rear of the car gradually enters the garage. Just before entering, the wheels should maintain a distance of 30cm from the garage corner. Students should constantly observe through the rearview mirrors and make corrections if the distance is less than or greater than 30cm, otherwise, the line will definitely be crossed after entering the garage.
