Car detailing refers to the maintenance and care of various parts of a vehicle using different car care products and application techniques, tailored to the specific material requirements of each component. Originating from Western developed countries, it is known as "Car-Care" in English. Car detailing includes: car washing, exterior paint care, interior cleaning, and refurbishment of other car parts. 1. Exterior Detailing: Mainly includes: high-pressure car washing, rust removal, tar and asphalt removal, waxing and color enhancement with mirror finish treatment, new car wax removal; wheel rims, tires, bumper refurbishment, and undercarriage anti-corrosion coating; waxing, glazing, coating, etc. Benefits: Regular washing prevents paint and body parts from being corroded by pollutants. Timely waxing maintains the shine of the car's color and provides a certain level of protection. 2. Interior Detailing: Includes cleaning of the engine, trunk, dashboard, ceiling, carpets, floor mats, seats, seat covers, sun visors, and door linings, as well as steam sterilization, deodorizing of air vents, and air purification inside the car. Engine detailing includes: engine washing and cleaning, application of gloss protectant, refurbishment, and cleaning of the three filters (fuel filter, oil filter, air filter). 3. Paint Treatment: Mainly includes: oxidation film treatment, overspray removal, acid rain treatment, paint scratch repair, paint damage repair, and full-body repainting. Benefits: Paint treatment can restore minor scratches on the car and better protect the body. 4. Car Protection: Mainly includes: applying explosion-proof solar films, installing anti-theft devices, static electricity dischargers, and car voice alarm systems.

What Type of Engine Oil is Recommended for the Eighth-Generation Accord?

The recommended engine oil type for the eighth-generation Accord is SL 5W/30, supplied by Tianjin Nisseki. If you wish to change the oil during later maintenance, you may opt for Mobil 1 SM 0W/40 synthetic oil. The manufacturer recommends 5W30 or 5W40, and any oil matching these specifications can be used. The viscosity of engine oil varies with temperature, so it is crucial to pay attention to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, ensuring smoother cold starts for the vehicle. The second number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher value indicates better viscosity retention at high temperatures, which can also be interpreted as superior lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the eighth-generation Accord is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to cool down, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out. Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply some oil to the gasket of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand. Add the new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Typically, fill up to three-quarters of a standard oil container. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for any leaks around the drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, perform necessary repairs. After stopping the engine, pull out the dipstick to check if the oil level is within the standard range.

How Many Kilometers Can 1 Liter of Oil Drive?

How many kilometers 1 liter of oil can drive varies depending on fuel consumption. For example, if the fuel consumption is 12L/100km, meaning 12 liters are consumed every 100 kilometers, under normal road conditions, one liter of oil can drive approximately 8 kilometers. If the fuel consumption is 8L/100km, meaning 8 liters are consumed every 100 kilometers, one liter of oil can drive about 12 kilometers, calculated as such. The fuel consumption for a car over 100 kilometers generally falls into the following ranges: compact cars consume 6-10 liters; midsize cars consume 8-12 liters; and large cars consume 12-18 liters. Typically, SUVs have higher fuel consumption than sedans due to their greater weight and larger frontal area. If stuck in traffic, fuel consumption can increase even more. How to drive a car to save fuel: maintain good driving habits; shift gears frequently; maintain a steady speed. Maintain good driving habits: Different driving habits can affect fuel consumption. During driving, frequent rapid acceleration or deceleration can increase fuel consumption by 5%-10% compared to normal conditions. Shift gears frequently: Different road conditions require different gear shifts. For example, when going uphill, if not switched to L gear or low gear, the car's fuel consumption will increase. Maintain a steady speed: Most cars achieve optimal fuel efficiency at speeds between 60-80km/h. If the speed can be kept steady during driving, the car's fuel consumption will reach its best state.

What Causes Brake Noise When Starting the Car in the Morning?

If the car has been parked for a long time, especially overnight, and produces abnormal noise when braking after starting, but the noise disappears after driving for a while, this is due to high air humidity and moisture on the brake pads, which can be ignored. If abnormal noise occurs every time you brake, it is caused by severe wear of the brake pads. There are three situations of brake noise: the alarm shim will emit a sharp abnormal sound to prompt replacement; the brake disc is severely worn and produces abnormal noise; a sharp and piercing sound is emitted when braking. The alarm shim will emit a sharp abnormal sound to prompt replacement: Usually, the vehicle's braking system has its own alarm system to warn the owner to replace the brake pads. When the brake pad wear exceeds the specified alarm value, the alarm shim will emit a harsh noise to remind the owner to go to the repair shop for inspection or replacement of new brake pads. If not replaced in time, the metal alarm shim will carve a fatal groove on the brake disc, causing the brake disc to be scrapped. At the same time, brake pad wear to the limit may lead to brake failure, resulting in serious traffic accidents. The brake disc is severely worn and produces abnormal noise: If the brake disc is severely worn, the outer edge where the brake disc and brake pads do not rub will become a raised ring relative to the friction surface. At this time, if the corner of the brake pad rubs against the raised outer edge of the brake disc, abnormal noise may occur. There are generally two ways to solve this situation. One is to go to the repair shop to grind the edge of the brake pad to avoid the raised edge of the brake disc and prevent friction; the other is to directly choose to replace the brake disc. A sharp and piercing sound is emitted when braking: When a new car emits a sharp and piercing sound when braking, many owners think it must be a quality problem with the vehicle. In fact, this is not the case. New brake pads and brake discs require a running-in process. When braking, if it happens to rub against a hard point on the brake pad (due to the material of the brake pad), this kind of abnormal noise will be emitted. You can go to the repair shop to apply some lubricating oil to reduce the noise.
