Faults caused by a damaged carbon canister purge solenoid valve include: 1. Abnormal noises during vehicle operation; 2. Strong fuel odor inside the vehicle; 3. Unstable engine idle; 4. Difficulty in starting the engine. The carbon canister purge solenoid valve is a device installed in cars or motorcycles to reduce air pollution caused by fuel vapor emissions and simultaneously improve fuel efficiency. The working principle of the carbon canister purge solenoid valve is: when the engine is turned off, the vehicle's activated carbon canister begins to absorb fuel vapors evaporating from the fuel tank and locks them in the micropores of the activated carbon inside the canister, preventing the fuel vapors from being released into the air. When the engine is started, the fuel vapors adsorbed in the carbon canister are delivered to the engine as fuel.

Should the Vios use 5W20 or 5W30?

The Vios uses 5W20 engine oil. Below is more information about engine oil: 1. Mineral oil: Mineral oil is the residue left after gasoline and heavy oil are extracted from petroleum. Although it is a natural oil, it contains more impurities. It is cheaper compared to semi-synthetic and full-synthetic oils but provides poorer lubrication for the engine and has a shorter service life. 2. Semi-synthetic oil: Semi-synthetic oil is a middle ground between mineral oil and full-synthetic oil. It contains a large amount of anti-corrosion additives to improve the stability and high oxidation resistance of the oil. 3. Full-synthetic oil: Among these three types of oil, full-synthetic oil offers the best quality and durability. It is also the most expensive type, typically maintaining its quality for 10,000 to 12,000 kilometers in general passenger cars. 4. Hazards of water in engine oil: If a small amount of water enters the engine and mixes with the oil, the oil quality deteriorates. Oil containing water increases wear on engine components, potentially leading to increased engine noise and vibration during future vehicle operation.
