Buick GL8 requires 95-octane gasoline. The Buick GL8 is equipped with a turbocharged engine, which necessitates the use of 95-octane gasoline. For older models with naturally aspirated engines, 92-octane gasoline can be used. Turbocharged engines operate with higher temperatures and pressures inside the cylinders, so a higher-grade gasoline with better stability is required. Taking the 2021 Buick GL8 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5238mm, width 1878mm, height 1776mm, with a wheelbase of 3088mm, a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters, and a trunk capacity of 475 liters.

What Causes Frequent Tire Pressure Alarms?

The reasons for frequent tire pressure alarms are: 1. Tire replacement without resetting the tire pressure module; 2. Nail punctures causing tire pressure changes; 3. Tire inflation without resetting the tire pressure monitoring system; 4. Prolonged vehicle inactivity leading to tire pressure drop without inflation. Below are the functions of tire pressure monitoring: 1. Immediate alarm when rapid or slow air leakage occurs due to tire puncture. 2. Warning when tire loosening causes uneven friction, raising tire temperature to 70°C to prevent blowouts. 3. Alert when prolonged lack of inflation causes tire pressure to fall below the vehicle's set limit, preventing low-pressure-induced temperature rise and blowouts.

What does the maximum engine power in kW mean?

Engine maximum power refers to the maximum power output that an engine can achieve. Engine output and speed: Engine output is directly related to speed. Initially, the engine's output power increases as the speed rises. However, once the output reaches its maximum value, the power output will decrease as the engine speed continues to increase. Precautions for using the engine: The engine speed at maximum power for cars or buses is higher than that of trucks to meet the needs of high-speed driving. When the engine's maximum power drops by more than 25% compared to the standard, a major overhaul should be performed.

What to do if the Kia K2 hood switch cable is broken?

If the Kia K2 hood switch cable is broken and cannot open, the problem can be solved by replacing the cable. Methods to open the hood when the cable is broken: 1. When the hood switch cable is broken, never force the hood open. This can not only damage the hood lock but also cause the hood to deform. 2. The most correct approach in this situation is to remove the vehicle's fender or bumper, reach under the hood lock with your hand, and pull the lock to open the hood. 3. It is best to have this process handled at a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop, and avoid attempting to remove the vehicle's bumper or fender on your own.

What Causes Smoke from the Steering Wheel?

Steering wheel smoke indicates a wiring malfunction, and the vehicle should be stopped immediately for inspection. Additional information: 1. Function: Converts the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Using a larger diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required from the driver during steering. 2. Common faults: Steering wheel vibration. This condition is often caused by tire deformation or issues with the vehicle's drivetrain. It is necessary to check whether the front wheel alignment angles and toe-in meet requirements, inspect the static balance of the wheels, and determine if the tires are excessively deformed. Deformed tires should be replaced.
