dexos is not an engine oil brand, but a certification provided by General Motors to enhance the performance level of engine oil and ensure the quality of aftermarket oil for vehicles. It stipulates that vehicles under General Motors must use engine oil with dexos certification. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is composed of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance. The functions of engine oil include: 1. Reducing friction and high temperatures; 2. Cooling and lowering temperature; 3. Cleaning and purifying; 4. Shock absorption and cushioning; 5. Rust and corrosion prevention.

Is it dangerous if the car steering gear is broken?

It is dangerous if the car steering gear is broken. The car steering gear is an important component for the steering function of the vehicle. Once there is a problem with the car steering gear, the direction cannot be controlled, which can lead to significant danger. The car steering gear is a precision component, and if it is not properly repaired, it may cause major accidents on the road. Repairing it requires replacing the car steering gear. The correct way to handle a loss of vehicle steering control is: 1. The driver should not panic and should immediately release the accelerator pedal slowly, allowing the vehicle to drive in a low gear, and apply the hand brake evenly and firmly; 2. If the speed is noticeably decreasing, the foot brake should be pressed to bring the vehicle to a gradual stop; if the vehicle is traveling at high speed, especially when the front and rear wheels are not aligned, the hand brake should be used first to slow down, followed by the emergency brake. 3. At the same time, signals should be given to other vehicles and pedestrians about the emergency situation, such as turning on the hazard lights, honking the horn, or making hand gestures. The emergency brake must not be used immediately to avoid causing the vehicle to overturn.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 13th-generation Crown?

The fuel tank capacity of the 13th-generation Crown is 70 liters, as announced by the car manufacturer. Owners who have purchased the 13th-generation Crown can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. It is necessary to use fuel with an octane rating of 92 or higher. Avoid mixing different types of gasoline, as long-term mixing may lead to insufficient engine power, engine vibration, or even body shaking, steering wheel vibration, reduced power performance, increased fuel consumption, and engine carbon buildup. The 13th-generation Crown comes in three models: 13th-generation Crown 2.5L-Royal Special Navigation Edition and 13th-generation Crown 2.5L-Royal Special Enhanced Edition, both with a displacement of 2497 (mL), maximum power of 145 (kW), and maximum torque of 242 (N·m). The 13th-generation Crown 3.0L-Royal-Saloon Navigation Enhanced Edition has a displacement of 2995 (mL), maximum power of 170 (kW), and maximum torque of 300 (N·m). During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually done by observing the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the car manufacturer's marked fuel tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked fuel tank capacity.
