The 1.5T engine model of the BMW 1 Series is B38A15C, with a maximum power of 103kW and a maximum torque of 220Nm. The 2.0T engine model is B48A20C, with a maximum power of 141kW and a maximum torque of 280Nm. The engine of the BMW 1 Series is produced by the Liaoning Tiesi Engine Factory and is a domestically manufactured engine. For the daily maintenance of the BMW 1 Series engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and keep the oil level moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and bring contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. 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, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine works properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What kind of water is sprayed when applying car film?

The water sprayed when applying car film is called installation solution, which has a formula similar to collar cleaner, not tap water. It is the water sprayed before applying car film, usually made by mixing purified water and installation solution in a certain proportion to ensure the film adheres tightly to the glass without bubbles or gaps. Before applying the film, check if the car window glass is intact and the overall condition of the car glass to ensure the subsequent film application can proceed smoothly. It is essential to cover necessary parts inside the car to prevent liquid from seeping in. The sprayed cleaning solution and lubricant can affect in-car electronic devices and decorative parts like seats.

How often should the coolant be replaced in the new Magotan?

The coolant in the new Magotan should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. Regular replacement is necessary, but the interval can be appropriately extended or shortened based on the specific usage environment to keep the vehicle in optimal condition. The full name of the coolant is antifreeze coolant, which means it has antifreeze properties. Coolant helps dissipate excess heat from the engine and prevents the cooling water in the pipes from freezing in winter, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine block. Additionally, it provides year-round benefits such as preventing scale buildup and corrosion, making it an essential liquid for the engine. The dimensions of the new Magotan are 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm.

Should the car be warmed up before changing the oil?

It is necessary to warm up the car before changing the oil. Generally, the car should be warmed up for about 5 minutes before changing the oil, as this allows the old oil to drain more thoroughly. Benefits of warming up the car before changing the oil: 1. Oil is a liquid with a certain viscosity. If the temperature is relatively low, the viscosity is higher, making it difficult for the oil to flow out after removing the oil pan drain plug; 2. There is some sludge inside the engine, which will soften after warming up, allowing the sludge to be discharged along with the oil; 3. Removing the oil filter will be easier after warming up. When changing the oil, the oil filter should also be replaced. There is a lot of oil and sludge around the oil filter, making it difficult to remove when the engine is cold.
