The differences between 5W-30 and 10W-40 are as follows: 1. Different viscosity. The number after the letter W indicates the viscosity characteristics of the oil at high temperatures. 10W-40 oil has a higher viscosity than 5W-30. High-viscosity oil may be more suitable for high-speed driving or heavy-duty vehicles. 2. Different low-temperature fluidity. Oil starting with 5W has better low-temperature fluidity and can be used in colder regions. Oil starting with 5W can handle environments above -30 degrees Celsius, while 10W can only be used above -25 degrees Celsius.

Can Compulsory Traffic Insurance Be Transferred to a New Car?

No, because compulsory traffic insurance is a mandatory national insurance. Here are the specific details: 1. Compulsory Insurance: According to the "Regulations on Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicles," each motor vehicle is limited to one compulsory insurance policy. Except for cases where the vehicle is scrapped, deregistered, or officially reported as lost by the public security authorities, the insurance cannot be canceled. In the event of vehicle transfer or ownership change, the compulsory insurance can only be transferred along with the original vehicle and cannot be transferred to a new car with the license plate. After purchasing a new car, you need to buy compulsory insurance again. 2. Purchasing Compulsory Insurance: Bring the owner's ID card, vehicle technical parameter sheet, and purchase invoice (for company vehicles, the organization code certificate is also required) to the business offices or agency points of major insurance companies to purchase compulsory insurance.

Is Audi's fuel consumption high?

Audi's fuel consumption is at a medium level, which is largely related to the driving conditions and habits. Impact of driving conditions on fuel consumption: Fuel consumption varies significantly when driving under different conditions (city or highway). Certain vehicle conditions (frequent heavy loads, short-distance driving, insufficient tire pressure, etc.) can increase fuel consumption. Impact of driving habits on fuel consumption: It is highly related to the driver's habits. Aggressive driving can lead to very high fuel consumption, while a more moderate driving style can result in relatively lower fuel consumption. Improving driving conditions and habits can effectively reduce fuel consumption. Regular maintenance at an Audi 4S store ensures all vehicle systems are in optimal working condition.

Why does the brake make a creaking sound on snowy days?

This is the sound produced when the ABS system is in operation, which is a normal phenomenon. Below is a detailed introduction to the ABS system: 1. When driving on icy or snowy roads, the friction between the tires and the road surface is relatively low. In such conditions, applying the brakes can easily activate the ABS system. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System, and almost all household vehicles are equipped with this system. The ABS system prevents the wheels from locking up during emergency braking. If the wheels lock up during emergency braking, the driver will not be able to control the vehicle's trajectory through the steering wheel, leading to a loss of control. If the ABS system is activated during emergency braking, the driver can slow down while maintaining control of the vehicle's direction. 2. In normal situations when braking in an emergency, if your vehicle is equipped with an ABS system, the correct method is to press the brake pedal firmly all the way down. Some drivers tend to pump the brakes in emergencies, which will not activate the ABS system. In an emergency, pressing the brake pedal firmly and completely will trigger the ABS system.

What brand is the engine of the Changan CS55plus?

JL473ZQ7 is the engine model used in the Changan CS55plus, with a maximum horsepower of 188 hp, a maximum power of 138KW, a maximum power speed of 5500rpm, and a peak torque of 300N.m. The engine of the Changan CS55plus is a domestic engine, manufactured by a factory under Changan. For the daily maintenance of the Changan CS55plus engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and still bring dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it remains suspended in the oil; when large, it precipitates from the oil, clogging filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What is the keyout indicator light?

keyout is the car key status indicator light. The reasons for the keyout indicator light to illuminate are as follows: 1. The smart key is out of range: The smart key is not inside the car or is too far away beyond the specified distance. When the keyout indicator light appears on the dashboard, it indicates that the smart key is not inside the car or is not within the effective range. 2. Low battery in the key: The key battery is low, causing the key signal to be too weak to be received. If the smart key is inside the car, it may be due to low battery, resulting in a weak signal that cannot be received. 3. Smart key system malfunction: There may be damage or a fault in the smart key system or wireless module.

Does the High-Pressure Fuel Pump Need Replacement if It Makes Abnormal Noises?

If the fuel pump produces noises, it needs to be replaced with a new one. Below is relevant information about the fuel pump: 1. The fuel pump is a crucial component in the fuel supply system. Without the fuel pump, the engine's fuel supply would be compromised, affecting its normal operation. 2. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank. Some engines equipped with direct injection technology also have a high-pressure fuel pump in the engine compartment. The fuel pump draws gasoline from the fuel tank and supplies it at the required pressure. Most commonly encountered engines use either multi-point injection or direct injection.
