What grade is SPGF6 engine oil?

SPGF6 is an S-grade engine oil. Engine oil grades are typically classified by viscosity and quality. The functions of engine oil are: To reduce friction and high temperatures. To minimize gas leakage and prevent external contaminants. To protect components from contact with water, air, and harmful acidic gases. To cushion the pressure rise in engine cylinders. To flush away dirt generated on component surfaces. The method for checking engine oil is: Park the vehicle on a level surface. After 10 minutes, pull out the dipstick. Hold the dipstick perpendicular to the ground to check the oil level. Signs that engine oil needs replacement are: Checking the oil viscosity - if there is no viscosity, the oil needs to be changed. The oil color turns black. Excessive black particles, metal shavings, or carbon deposits in the oil. The oil has an unusual odor.

API SP GF-6 engine oil is a combination of the latest automotive oil standards. Simply put, it refers to oil that meets the API SP grade while also complying with the ILSAC GF-6 specifications. API SP is the latest gasoline engine oil service category, primarily improving engine protection, reducing deposits and wear. GF-6 emphasizes fuel economy, lower oil consumption, and reduced emissions, making it more environmentally friendly. GF-6 is further divided into GF-6A and GF-6B categories: the former is suitable for standard viscosity oils used in most vehicles, while the latter is specifically designed for ultra-low viscosity oils like 0W-16, enhancing engine efficiency. I often see car owners using this type of oil during repairs because it is compatible with modern turbocharged and hybrid vehicles, extending engine life and maintaining performance. When selecting oil, always check the owner’s manual recommendations to ensure suitability, and avoid switching oils arbitrarily to prevent damage to engine components.

Can the Haval H9 be modified with -13 offset wheels?

No, there are significant differences between positive offset wheels and negative offset wheels. Positive offset wheels: Since the wheel mounting surface faces outward, the tire's force application point is biased toward the outer side of the wheel center point, providing a more reasonable balance in terms of load capacity and traction (for soft-axle vehicles). The most important point is that positive offset wheels can be partially concealed within the vehicle's suspension components, serving a protective function against impacts. Negative offset wheels: The advantages are their attractive and imposing appearance, as well as improved stability. However, they tend to throw more mud and increase suspension impact forces. You can first determine the original wheel's ET value. Then measure the distance between the original wheel's outer side and the fender. If you want a more aggressive look, you can decide to move the wheels outward. This way, you can change from positive offset to negative offset.

Which is more fuel-efficient, normal mode or eco mode?

eco mode is relatively more fuel-efficient. The relevant information about normal mode and eco mode is as follows: Concept of normal mode: Normal mode is the standard driving mode, which is the ordinary mode when driving a car. Normal mode is suitable for urban driving. When the car is in normal mode, the car's transmission and throttle will be in a relatively balanced state, making the occupants more comfortable. Concept of eco mode: Eco mode is the economical mode. When the vehicle is in this mode, the throttle response becomes more sluggish, the transmission shifts more proactively, and the engine speed is maintained in a relatively low range, thereby achieving the goal of fuel efficiency. Difference between normal mode and eco mode: There is a difference in energy consumption. Eco mode operates in a low-energy and environmentally friendly state, while normal mode operates in a standard power consumption state, with normal mode consuming more energy than eco mode.
