Mitsubishi Outlander uses 5W30 engine oil. The following is the relevant introduction of engine oil: 1. Reduce wear: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and the cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and the bearing. To prevent excessive wear of parts, an oil film of sufficient thickness needs to be established between the two sliding surfaces to separate the relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear and extending mechanical life. 2. Cooling: Engine oil helps the radiator cool the engine and expels heat from the engine. 3. Sealing and leakage prevention: Engine oil can form a sealing ring between the piston ring and the piston, reducing gas leakage and the entry of pollutants. 4. Shock absorption: When the pressure at the engine cylinder port rises sharply, the load on the piston, piston pin, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearings suddenly increases. This load is transmitted and lubricated through the bearings, cushioning the impact load.

What causes a Jetta to lack engine oil?

Jetta lacks engine oil due to reasons such as aging valve stem seals, piston ring issues, excessive wear, and sticking problems. Aging valve stem seals: Rubber loses elasticity, causing poor sealing, allowing engine oil to seep into the combustion chamber and burn. Piston ring issues: Excessive clearance between piston rings and cylinder walls, improper piston ring installation, or degraded sealing performance, weakening the oil ring's oil scraping function. Excessive wear: Excessive wear gap between the guide and valve stem, causing oil droplets from the valve cover to enter the combustion chamber along the gap during driving. Sticking problems: The crankcase ventilation valve sticks and cannot move, losing its function of controlling ventilation volume. Excessive oil vapor in the crankcase then enters the intake pipe through the crankcase ventilation tube.

Components and Functions of the Cooling System

Components and Functions of the Cooling System are as follows: I. Components of the Cooling System: The cooling system consists of the thermostat, water pump, water pump belt, radiator, cooling fan, water temperature sensor, liquid storage tank, heating device, expansion tank, water jackets in the engine block and cylinder head, etc. II. Functions of the Cooling System are as follows: 1. Adjust the cooling intensity in real-time based on the engine's load, speed, and temperature changes. 2. Provide different cooling intensities for different working parts of the engine. 3. Dissipate the heat generated during engine operation into the air and ensure the engine operates within an appropriate temperature range. The cooling system must prevent both engine overheating and excessive cooling during winter. After a cold start, the cooling system also ensures the engine warms up quickly to reach the normal operating temperature as soon as possible.

What should you do when encountering a stop signal ahead while driving a motor vehicle?

When encountering a stop signal ahead while driving a motor vehicle, stop in sequence behind the stop line. If there is no stop line, stop before the intersection. Below are additional details: 1. Roundabouts: Vehicles preparing to enter the roundabout must yield to vehicles already inside the roundabout. 2. Left turns: When making a left turn, turn from the left side near the center of the intersection. Turn on the turn signal when turning and use low beams when driving at night. 3. Right turns with same-lane vehicles waiting for a go signal: When making a right turn and encountering vehicles in the same lane waiting for a go signal, stop and wait in sequence. 4. Intersections without directional signal lights: At intersections without directional signal lights, turning motor vehicles must yield to straight-moving vehicles and pedestrians. Right-turning vehicles from the opposite direction must yield to left-turning vehicles.

What is the reason for the constant illumination of the turn signal on the Bestune B70?

The constant illumination of the turn signal on the Bestune B70 may be due to a faulty relay or a loose connection in the wiring. Faulty relay: You can replace the fuse inside the relay. A relay is an electrical control device that causes a predetermined step change in the controlled quantity in the electrical output circuit when the change in the input quantity meets specified requirements. Relays have both a control system and a controlled system and are commonly used in automated control circuits, where they play roles such as automatic regulation, safety protection, and circuit switching. Loose connection in the wiring: Another possible cause for the constant illumination of the turn signal is a loose connection in the wiring. Pay attention to the fact that some flashers have directional wiring; if the two wires are connected inversely, the light may stay on constantly. In such cases, simply swap the two wires of the new flasher.

What is the heat-resistant temperature of tires?

Dry tires have an optimal operating temperature range between 90 and 110 degrees Celsius, and tire warmers are always maintained within this optimal range. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Overheating: Additionally, tires should not overheat, as excessive temperatures can turn wet tires into old dry tires. Driving speed The faster a tire travels, the quicker it generates heat, the higher the temperature rises, and the greater the impact force it experiences, with both factors being proportional. Therefore, at high speeds and high temperatures, tire tread wears out faster, so it's advisable to choose a reasonable speed for driving. 2. Tire blowout: In summer, road surface temperatures often exceed 70°C. Cars driving for long periods in hot summer conditions, especially those with damaged or weak spots in their tires, are prone to blowouts due to excessive tire pressure. Experts point out that due to temperature effects, the gas inside tires automatically expands, increasing tire pressure from 2.3 kg to over 3 kg. To ensure proper tire pressure, it is recommended to fill tires with nitrogen in summer, and the filling pressure should be reduced by 10%.
