Winter 10W-40, Summer 5W-30. Engine oil grades: SAE5W-30, SAE15W-40, SAE20W-50. Meaning of engine oil grades: The number before the hyphen in this grade indicates the low-temperature viscosity performance the oil meets in winter, while the number after the hyphen indicates the high-temperature viscosity performance it meets in summer. The smaller the number before the W, the better the oil's fluidity at low temperatures, making it easier to start the car. The larger the number after the W, the better the oil's viscosity in high-temperature environments, forming a stronger oil film. This type of oil can generally be used all year round.

I've been driving a Geely Free Cruiser, using 5W-30 engine oil as recommended in the manual. This grade ensures quick starts in winter and reliable performance in summer, keeping the engine running smoothly. I change the oil every 5,000 kilometers, and it's something you can do yourself. Just make sure to buy reputable brands like Shell or Castrol—don't cheap out with no-name products, as engine repairs can be costly. Also, remember to check the oil filter during changes; replace the old one to avoid clogging the oil passages. For daily driving, use the air recirculation mode, but switch to fresh air mode when the oil temperature is high to help with cooling—it saves fuel and maintains the car. Stick with this oil grade, and your car will run steadily with fewer issues.

Having driven for many years, I find that the Geely Free Cruiser works best with 5W-30 oil, which is perfectly suitable for temperate regions. The key is to check the API standard, such as SN or SP grade, to ensure good lubrication and engine cleanliness. Don't neglect the oil change interval—typically every six months or 7,500 kilometers—as oil turns black and loses efficiency over time. Daily oil level checks are simple: after parking, turn off the engine for five minutes, pull out the dipstick, and ensure the level is between min and max. Using full synthetic oil enhances protection, especially during long trips, reducing engine noise and boosting power. Setting the air conditioning to AUTO mode also helps regulate temperature, complementing oil maintenance for a worry-free experience. Maintaining these habits ensures your car stays durable.

When I first started driving, I knew nothing about engine oil. A friend recommended 5W-30 for my Free Cruiser, and after using it, the engine started quickly without any hesitation. The 'W' stands for winter low-temperature fluidity, and a smaller number means smoother starts. The manual also states that this grade is the safest. I change the oil every 6,000 kilometers, practicing by checking the oil dipstick myself—just top it up with fresh oil if it's low. For daily driving, I often use the air recirculation mode to save fuel, combining it with regular oil changes to keep the car stable. Remember to choose certified brands and don’t slack off.

Can Modified Wheel Size Pass the Annual Inspection?

Modifying wheels is a relatively conspicuous modification. If the wheel modification is not registered with the vehicle management office, it will not pass the annual inspection. Introduction to Wheels: Wheels are the rotating part of the tire's inner rim connected to the hub through spokes, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. Also known as rims, steel wheels, or simply wheels. Wheels come in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material. Types of Wheels: Depending on the characteristics and needs of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of wheels also varies, mainly divided into painting and plating. For ordinary vehicle models, the appearance of wheels is less considered, with good heat dissipation being a basic requirement. The process mostly involves painting, which includes spraying followed by baking, making it cost-effective with vibrant colors that last long, even when the vehicle is scrapped. Many mass-market vehicle models use painted wheels. Some fashionable and dynamic colored wheels also employ painting technology.

Where is the air conditioning filter element of the Haifuxing located?

The air conditioning filter element of the Haifuxing is located under the glove box on the passenger side. Here are some relevant details: 1. If the filter element is dirty, you can clean it by blowing compressed air from the reverse side. Operation method: Hold the air gun 5 cm away from the filter element and blow at a pressure of 500 kPa for about 2 minutes. The air filter element is very prone to dust accumulation. Use compressed air to remove the dust, but never wash it with water, as this can easily cause damage. 2. The Haifuxing is a compact car launched by FAW Haima, with body dimensions of 4464mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1425mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. The Haifuxing is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 111ps and a maximum torque of 147nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

What are the reasons for a car not starting with no power at all inside?

There are several reasons why a car may not start with no power at all inside: 1. Dead battery: This could be due to a drained battery from leaving headlights on for a long time or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. It is generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. Additionally, installing xenon headlights, high-power audio systems, or DVD players can also cause vehicle circuit failures. 2. Incorrect gear position: For automatic transmission cars, the gear must be in P or N position when starting. If it is in R or D position, the car will not start. Some manual transmission cars may also not start if the clutch is not depressed. 3. Lack of antifreeze: Using water or low-quality antifreeze in the car can cause the engine to freeze and crack in extremely cold winter conditions, leading to the water pump failing to operate, the car not starting, and damage to other engine components.

How to Decelerate an Automatic Transmission Car?

To decelerate an automatic transmission car, release the accelerator pedal early and apply the brake. Below are detailed introductions to the gear positions of an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. The R gear is the reverse gear. When this gear is engaged, it connects the hydraulic system's reverse gear oil circuit, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse for backward movement. Never forcibly shift to the "R" gear when the vehicle hasn't come to a complete stop, as this may damage the transmission. 2. The N gear is the neutral gear. When neutral is engaged, the planetary gear system idles without power output. 3. The D gear is the drive gear. When the gearshift lever is in this position, the hydraulic control device automatically connects the corresponding forward gear oil circuit based on throttle opening signals and vehicle speed signals. It can automatically shift up or down according to driving speed changes, achieving automatic transmission functionality. 4. The P gear is the parking gear. It uses a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the vehicle's tires, preventing the car from moving.
