Use Dongfeng Nissan's original engine oil, which is formulated according to the vehicle's performance requirements. As long as it is replaced regularly according to the manufacturer's maintenance manual requirements, it is acceptable. Alternatively, cost-effective full synthetic engine oil can also be used. The choice of engine oil mainly depends on the actual condition of the vehicle. The following is extended information about car engine oil: 1. The first car maintenance item is to change the engine oil and oil filter, and a comprehensive inspection and diagnosis of the vehicle's condition and usage will be conducted. The first car maintenance time is between 3-5 months, and the first maintenance mileage is between 3,000 kilometers to 5,000 kilometers, or even up to 8,000 kilometers for some cars, due to differences in the specific technical conditions of the vehicles. 2. The engine and the new car have a break-in period. Different brands and models of cars are equipped with different engines. Some engines use special technologies and have strict requirements for engine oil; some engines have special materials and high precision, resulting in relatively less wear, so the engine oil replacement cycle needs to be referenced based on the production date.

For the first oil change of the Qashqai, I recommend using the manufacturer-recommended 0W-20 full synthetic oil, just like when I had my own car's first service done. The 4S dealership mentioned that this oil is specifically designed for new engines, offering good fluidity and even some fuel savings. Think about it—the first service is only a few thousand kilometers in, and using the factory-recommended oil helps prevent engine wear, ensuring smoother performance down the road. Of course, don’t skimp and go for cheaper alternatives; if it causes stuttering and affects the driving feel, it’s not worth it. It’s best to check the manual or confirm the specs with the dealership to avoid random shops adding semi-synthetic oil. Regular maintenance like this goes a long way in extending your car’s lifespan.

Where is the cabin air filter located on the Peugeot 307?

In the upper left corner of the engine compartment. For the health of vehicle occupants, it is recommended to replace the cabin air filter of the Peugeot 307 every six months. Below is relevant information: 1. The cabin air filter primarily helps filter out fine impurities and dirt present in the vehicle, thereby providing a more comfortable and superior interior environment. During engine operation, a large amount of external air is required, which inevitably draws in impurities. The cabin air filter removes these impurities and microorganisms from the air. 2. When the airflow from the vehicle's vents is noticeably weaker than before, the filter may be clogged with dust and needs replacement. If you notice unpleasant odors from the air conditioning, such as sour or foul smells, besides replacing the filter, the entire ventilation system should be inspected. For those living in cities with high levels of sand and dust, it is advisable to shorten the replacement interval. In cities with clean air and a pristine environment, the replacement interval for the cabin air filter can be appropriately extended.

What Causes Difficulty Starting a Car in the Morning?

Possible issues could be related to spark plugs or engine oil. Below are the common reasons for difficulty starting a car in the morning: 1. In winter, most starting difficulties are caused by a weak battery or an expired battery lifespan. When the battery is low on charge, the engine cranks weakly, producing only clicking sounds, which may turn into whining noises upon repeated attempts. Avoid continuous ignition attempts to prevent complete battery drain. In winter, as temperatures drop, engine oil viscosity increases, making it harder to flow and increasing engine resistance. If starting is difficult, check whether the correct oil grade is being used. 2. After years of use, spark plugs can develop carbon deposits, electrical leakage, excessive gaps, or erosion, leading to ignition difficulties. Both cold starts and even warm starts may become challenging, often requiring multiple attempts. Therefore, if the vehicle has reached a certain mileage or exhibits symptoms like hard starting, weak acceleration, shaking, increased fuel consumption, or unexplained stalling, inspect the spark plugs and replace them promptly.

What is the difference between low-speed and high-speed engines?

The differences between low-speed and high-speed engines are as follows: 1. The difference lies in the cylinder bore and piston stroke: High-speed engines have a very short piston stroke, as only a short stroke can achieve high speeds, so their cylinder bore is slightly larger. 2. High-speed engines do not have a large displacement, and part of their power comes from the inertial force formed at high speeds. Low-speed engines have a slightly smaller cylinder bore, and their pistons are longer than those in high-speed engines. Due to the long piston stroke and high compression ratio, the pistons in low-speed engines endure greater pressure, so they need to be made sturdier. Their power source often comes purely from the extremely high compression ratio. 3. Different engine structures: High-speed and low-speed engines differ in their structural design, so the speed points at which these two types of engines achieve maximum power and torque are also different. 4. Power and torque requirements: High-speed engines need to increase their speed to obtain high power and torque, while low-speed engines are the opposite.

How to Replace the Air Filter in a Vezel?

The method for replacing the air filter in a Vezel is as follows: 1. Pull the engine hood release lever inside the cabin (located near the left foot) and move the internal hood latch to the right; 2. Lift the engine hood and secure it firmly with the support rod; 3. Unclip the metal fasteners on the air filter housing; 4. Open the air filter housing, remove the old filter, and wipe away dust and dirt inside the housing; 5. Install the new air filter, close the air filter housing, and fasten the clips securely. Taking the 2020 Vezel as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4328mm in length, 1772mm in width, and 1605mm in height, a wheelbase of 2610mm, and a curb weight of 1227kg. The 2020 Vezel is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 131PS, a maximum torque of 155Nm, and a maximum power output of 96kW, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

Is the AC in a car for cooling or heating?

ac switch is for cooling. When the vehicle needs cooling, pressing the AC button (the indicator light on the button will illuminate) activates the air conditioning in cooling mode. Adjust the temperature selection switch to the blue section, turn on the blower, and cold air will blow out. The AC is the compressor switch, and the compressor is the heart of the car's air conditioning cooling system, responsible for compressing and transporting refrigerant vapor. Below is relevant information: 1. Too much or too little refrigerant: This is the most common reason for air conditioning not cooling. Refrigerant leakage is the primary cause. When the air conditioning is not cooling, check the refrigerant level through the sight glass on the dryer. If the refrigerant is insufficient, the sight glass will continuously produce bubbles. If the refrigerant is too low, simply add more. Too much refrigerant can also prevent the air conditioning from cooling, as it affects the system's heat dissipation. Observe the sight glass on the dryer; if no bubbles appear during operation or after the compressor stops, it indicates excessive refrigerant. In this case, simply remove some. 2. Dirty condenser: Excessive accumulation of dust, lint, and other debris on the condenser and air filter can hinder the air conditioning system's heat dissipation, which in turn affects cooling performance.

How to Check if a Vehicle Has ETC?

To check whether a vehicle has ETC, the method is as follows: Currently, there is no online channel to check whether your new car has been registered for ETC by the previous owner. You need to bring relevant documents such as your ID card and vehicle license to an ETC service outlet and consult the staff. Below is the relevant information: 1. Cancellation method: The staff will contact the previous owner through the database and ask them to cancel the ETC at the bank where it was originally registered. If the previous owner cannot be contacted, the staff can only forcibly cancel the old ETC information in the background so that the new owner can apply for a new ETC service. 2. Cancellation time: If the previous owner is in the same province, the ETC cancellation can be completed in about a week. If the ETC was registered in another province, since ETC data is independent across provinces, the local institution will need to contact the relevant authorities in the other province, which takes more time. The processing time is about 45 days. If the new owner and the previous owner registered the ETC at the same bank, the bank also has the authority to cancel the previous owner's information.
