Owners of BMW 5 Series know that choosing engine oil requires careful consideration, and I've studied many cases. BMW requires LongLife-certified oils, such as LL-04 or LL-17FE+ standards, and full synthetic is a must. The recommended viscosity is 0W-30 or 5W-30, and 0W-40 can be used for added protection during summer highway driving. Personally, I've tried Mobil 1 and Shell Helix Ultra, both of which perform well during cold starts, especially for turbocharged models that require quick-responding oil. A reminder to everyone: never opt for cheap mineral oils, especially for models meeting China 6B emission standards, as the catalytic converter can easily be damaged by low-quality oil. Additionally, it's best to avoid high-ash oils for the B48 engine, and adhering to an 8,000-kilometer oil change interval is more important than the brand you choose.

What causes poor network status in the Haval H6 Platinum Edition?

Signal reception issues, current area signal problems, or overdue payments in the vehicle's telematics system may cause it to be unusable. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Check the USB port: Confirm whether the phone data cable is damaged or broken, check for any foreign objects attached to the metal contacts on the USB plug and phone plug or if the surface is oxidized. Inspect the internal condition of the USB female port on the external USB HUB of the car's host unit for any damage, and whether the contact metal strips can maintain good contact with the USB male plug. 2. Chassis stability: It is noticeable that the Haval H6 has a relatively high center of gravity, and the seating position inside the car is also high, leading to significant body roll during turns due to the high center of gravity. The front and rear suspensions already use relatively thick anti-roll bars, but they still cannot effectively suppress the roll.
