For the new Regal 1.5T, using 92 octane gasoline is sufficient. Prolonged use of 95 octane may lead to carbon deposits, so it's essential to follow the vehicle's recommended fuel grade. Definition of 95 octane gasoline: 95 octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. Even high-compression engines can use lower octane gasoline; the choice of gasoline grade should not be based solely on compression ratio but should adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations. Differences between 95 and 92 octane gasoline: The primary difference lies in the octane rating, with no other fundamental distinctions. 95 octane gasoline is composed of 5% n-heptane and 95% isooctane, while 92 octane gasoline consists of 8% n-heptane and 92% isooctane. 95 octane gasoline has a higher octane rating than 92 octane, making it more stable and easier to burn, thus delivering greater power output compared to 92 octane gasoline.

What are the causes of piston ring breakage?

The causes of piston ring breakage are: 1. The material of the piston ring does not meet the requirements, resulting in poor bending strength; 2. The surface treatment layer of the ring is too thick, leading to reduced fatigue resistance; 3. After the ring groove wears, it becomes flared, causing the piston ring to twist and break during operation; 4. The piston undergoes thermal deformation or cracking, causing the ring to be compressed and break. Piston rings are metal rings used to fit into the grooves of pistons. There are two types of piston rings: compression rings and oil rings. Compression rings are used to seal the combustible gas mixture in the combustion chamber, while oil rings are used to scrape off excess oil from the cylinder. Piston rings are widely used in various power machinery, such as steam engines, diesel engines, gasoline engines, compressors, hydraulic machines, etc.

How to Adjust a Motorcycle Clutch?

Adjusting a motorcycle clutch method: If minor adjustment is needed, loosen the lock nut on the clutch lever, then turn the adjusting screw until the clutch lever's free play is 10 to 20mm. For larger adjustments, loosen the lock nut on the clutch cable, turn the adjusting nut until the clutch lever's free play is 10 to 20mm, then tighten the lock nut. After adjustment, check the adjustment effect. The checking method is: prop up the bike stand, shift into neutral, start the engine, firmly hold the clutch lever, shift the transmission into first gear, slowly release the clutch lever, and when the rear wheel starts to rotate, it indicates the clutch begins to engage. Until the clutch lever returns to its original position, check the free travel from the start of engagement to the return position. If it is 10 to 20mm, the adjustment meets the requirement; otherwise, readjust. The function of a motorcycle clutch is to transmit or cut off the power transfer between the engine crankshaft and the transmission, switching gears and matching transmission speeds at different times.

What does a three-way catalytic converter mean?

A three-way catalytic converter is an important external purification device installed in the automotive exhaust system. It converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions, thereby achieving purification. The three-way catalytic converter is installed in the engine exhaust pipe. Since this converter can simultaneously transform the main harmful substances in exhaust gases into harmless substances, and with increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, more and more vehicles are equipped with exhaust catalytic converters and oxygen sensor devices. Typically, the substrate of a three-way catalytic converter is made of porous ceramic material, and its air passages are designed in a mesh or polygonal cross-section pattern.

How often should the fuel filter of Great Wall M4 be replaced?

The fuel filter of Great Wall M4 should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. The main function of the filter is to filter the gasoline in the car. After prolonged filtration, impurities in the gasoline will reduce the filtering function of the filter. Good oil quality and gasoline can better drive the car engine and fuel pump, while gasoline with many impurities will affect the normal operation of the car, so the filter must be replaced regularly. When replacing, be sure to choose genuine products from well-known brands, and never use inferior fuel filters for the sake of saving money, as inferior fuel filters will only bring more problems to the vehicle. The Great Wall M4 is a small SUV model with a body length, width, and height of 3961mm, 1728mm, and 1617mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2383mm. It comes standard with Bosch 8.1 version ABS plus EBD, collapsible steering column, and 4-door anti-collision steel beams, and is also equipped with a BA emergency brake assist system.
