For the new Sylphy, the original factory engine oil is the most suitable. Below is relevant information about the Nissan Sylphy: 1. In addition to using the original factory engine oil, it is recommended to choose engine oil brands such as Mobil, Shell, and Great Wall. 2. During maintenance, the 4S shop offers three types of engine oil for the Nissan Sylphy: conventional oil, synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. The choice among these three mainly depends on the vehicle's driving environment. If the driving environment is good, such as frequent highway driving, conventional oil is sufficient. If the vehicle is often used in city driving with frequent stops and starts, synthetic oil is recommended. 3. It is necessary to distinguish between winter and summer engine oil choices. Winter oil grades are: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W. The symbol W stands for Winter, and the smaller the number before W, the lower the viscosity at low temperatures, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the applicable minimum temperature. Most owners use 5W-30.

When I drove the Nissan Sylphy before, I always insisted on using 5W-30 full synthetic oil. The viscosity recommended by Nissan provides good engine protection with minimal wear and ensures smooth cold starts in winter. I typically change the oil every 8,000 kilometers or so, which helps extend engine life and reduce failure rates. Synthetic oil is more expensive than mineral oil, but it saves money in the long run due to longer oil change intervals and less engine wear. Choose reputable brands like Shell or Mobil to ensure API SP certification. For city driving, this combination is the most hassle-free—engine noise stays quiet, and fuel consumption remains stable. Don’t forget to check the manual for specific recommendations, as there might be slight variations for different model years of the Sylphy. Regularly inspect the oil color and change it early if it appears cloudy.

What is the fault when the car cannot be turned off?

Failure to turn off the engine is due to the ignition circuit not being powered off. For keyless start models, it may be caused by a dead remote key battery or a faulty button switching circuit preventing the circuit from being cut. Below are the relevant details: 1. Keyless Start: The Keyless Start System allows starting the vehicle without taking out or turning a key. Simply keep the key in a bag or pocket, press the button inside the car, or turn the guide plate to ignite the engine. It is more convenient and significantly enhances the sense of luxury and technology. 2. Working Principle: The system uses the most advanced Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, automatically unlocking and locking the doors via the chip in the smart card carried by the owner. This means when the driver approaches the vehicle within a certain distance, the door locks will automatically open and disable the anti-theft system. When the driver leaves the vehicle, the door locks will automatically lock and activate the anti-theft system. Vehicles equipped with a keyless entry system typically have a sensor button on the door handle and a keyhole as a backup in case the smart card is damaged or out of power, allowing the owner to open the door in the conventional way.

Is it no longer necessary to display the annual inspection and insurance stickers on vehicles?

Annual inspection stickers must be displayed, while compulsory insurance stickers may not be required in some areas now. Below is relevant information: 1. Vehicle annual inspection: Also known as motor vehicle inspection. The inspection items and scope vary depending on the vehicle's usage nature. 2. Timeframes: For passenger cars and blue-license minivans, the first six years after registration require biennial inspections; after six years, annual inspections; after ten years, semi-annual inspections. Trucks require annual inspections after registration, becoming semi-annual after ten years. Required documents for vehicle inspection include: vehicle registration certificate, valid compulsory insurance policy, and vehicle and vessel tax certificate. 3. Other regulations: Vehicles failing inspection must be repaired within a time limit. If still unqualified after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate the license plates and prohibit further operation.

What are the three essential elements of driving?

Driving three elements refer to stop, look, and then proceed. It means that when driving through an intersection with traffic lights, in addition to strictly following the traffic light instructions, you should also pay attention to slowing down, carefully observe whether there are vehicles violating traffic rules in the non-passing direction, and quickly pass through only after confirming safety. The reason for stop, look, and then proceed: When the vehicle stops, the driver can better observe the situation in the blind spot on the right side of the car. After a clear observation, the driver can then turn to ensure safety. From the perspective of defensive driving, many dynamic blind spots caused during driving can be eliminated by speed difference. By stopping the car, the driver can confirm the safety of the right-side blind spot. How to apply stop, look, and then proceed: Pay attention to observation and maintain sufficient lateral distance from large turning vehicles. When preparing to pass through an intersection, first, you must stop at a safe position, avoiding being in the blind spot of a vehicle or within the "inner wheel difference" area. Do not travel side by side with large vehicles or attempt to overtake them. Many people, upon seeing large vehicles, think they can walk a few steps faster or accelerate to ride past them, unaware that such rushing behavior precisely puts them in a dangerous area. When turning right, if you encounter a large vehicle in front stopping to wait, never rush to urge it.

What is the battery capacity of new energy vehicles?

New energy vehicle battery capacity varies depending on factors such as brand and place of production, generally ranging between 15-60kWh. Below is relevant information about new energy vehicle batteries: 1. Optimal battery temperature: The ideal temperature range for battery cells is 0-40°C. Temperatures too high or too low will affect cell activity and may cause irreversible damage, potentially impacting battery lifespan. When charging an electric vehicle, if the battery temperature is below 0°C, the battery needs to be preheated before charging can begin, which prolongs the charging process and is detrimental to battery maintenance. 2. Battery usage precautions: During vehicle charging, as the battery pack temperature rises, significant temperature differences can cause chemical reactions in the active materials on the positive and negative plates, thereby shortening battery life. Conversely, when battery temperature is too low, it reduces the battery's storage capacity, making it prone to over-discharge and consequently shortening battery lifespan.

What Causes Bubbles on the Car Body?

It may be due to poor-quality car paint. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Car Paint: Car paint primarily serves to protect the car body from corrosion and also enhances the vehicle's aesthetic appeal, serving as a way for many car owners to express their individuality. 2. Car Paint Maintenance: After washing the vehicle, use a clean, soft cloth or sponge to prevent mixing in metal shavings and sand particles. Avoid using dry cloths, dry towels, or dry sponges to wipe the car, as they can easily leave scratches on the body. When wiping, gently wipe in the direction of water flow from top to bottom, avoiding circular or horizontal motions.
