CS55 is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. It is recommended to use 5W40 full synthetic engine oil or 0W40 full synthetic engine oil. Engine oil classification: Currently, engine oils on the market are roughly divided into three types: mineral engine oil, semi-synthetic engine oil, and full synthetic engine oil. The quality and price of these three types of engine oils increase progressively. Comparatively, full synthetic engine oil has the best quality and the highest price, while mineral engine oil has the lowest price and the lowest quality. Semi-synthetic engine oil falls in between. Generally, entry-level vehicles or naturally aspirated engines are suitable for mineral engine oil, while high-end vehicles and turbocharged models are suitable for full synthetic engine oil. Engine oil grade: Engine oil grades consist of two parts: classification and viscosity specification. Engine oil grades usually indicate viscosity and quality. W stands for WINTER. The number before W represents the pour point temperature, simply put, the freezing point temperature. The number after W represents the kinematic viscosity of the engine oil at 100°C. A higher number indicates higher viscosity.

Having driven for over a decade, I find that SUVs like the CS55 are best suited for full synthetic oil, with a viscosity of 5W-30 being ideal. This viscosity provides both protection during cold starts and stability during high-temperature operation, preventing excessive engine wear. In terms of brands, I've personally tried Shell's synthetic oil, which offers stable performance and smooth driving. Avoid the temptation to use cheaper mineral oils, as they can easily clog the oil passages. Additionally, make sure to change the oil regularly, every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers, and don't delay extending the mileage. During oil changes, check the oil level and the filter. Following this routine can extend the engine's lifespan by several years. Investing a bit more in high-quality oil saves both money and hassle compared to frequent repairs.

Which gear should a manual transmission car start in?

Manual transmission cars should start in 1st gear. Hazards of starting in 2nd gear: Frequently starting in 2nd gear can damage the clutch because the RPM might be insufficient, causing more wear on the clutch plate. The higher the gear used for starting, the greater the clutch wear. Therefore, from a vehicle maintenance perspective, it's better to start in 1st gear. Consider using 2nd gear when push-starting: Some drivers believe that on downhill slopes or rainy days, when less power is needed to start the car, 2nd gear can be considered. Using 1st gear in such situations might cause the car to lurch forward unsafely. Some drivers also think that diesel vehicles, with their greater horsepower, can consider starting in 2nd gear.

What Causes CVT Gear Shift Jerking?

CVT gear shift jerking situations are as follows: Insufficient Lubrication: A common cause of CVT transmission jerking is gear shift jerking during cold starts. Most mainstream CVT transmissions require fluid, and insufficient lubrication during cold starts can lead to poor connection between the chains. When the clutch engages during a cold start, it is prone to impact, resulting in gear shift jerking. This situation can be avoided by ensuring proper warm-up and firmly pressing the brake during gear shifts to allow smooth clutch engagement. Design and Quality: Design and quality issues can cause CVT transmission vibration. Additionally, poor quality or chain wear exceeding normal limits may lead to excessive metal debris accumulation in the oil pan, which can also cause CVT transmission vibration. However, this typically does not result in severe jerking.

Where is the best location for ETC?

The ETC installation position is generally in the upper middle part of the front windshield horizontally, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower middle part. The suitable installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with anti-explosion film or those that have it installed later, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, it should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply, the vehicle owner needs to provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner themselves, a valid ID card of the agent is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page stamped with the most recent annual inspection seal. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also needed, and the vehicle must be registered under an individual aged between 18 and 60. Documents required for company vehicles: Introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); Copy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); Original ID card of the agent; Original vehicle license; The vehicle for which ETC is to be applied. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rearward tilt angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If ETC is installed without considering this, it may increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it casually: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed on the windshield, the anti-removal lever will be pressed in. If removed casually, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to go to an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Things to note when using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle device information and cause payment failure. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also lead to payment failure.
