The differences between long-life engine oil and conventional engine oil are as follows: 1. Different characteristics: Conventional engine oil: Reduces wear on engine components and extends service life. Long-life engine oil: Offers higher lubricity than mineral oil, lower friction resistance, better oxidation resistance, and stronger cleaning performance. It also provides superior high and low-temperature performance, longer oil change intervals, and is suitable for more severe driving conditions. 2. Different performance: Long-life engine oil provides noticeable improvements in the following aspects: smoother cold starts, especially in northeastern regions; better fuel economy; extended oil change intervals, approximately 1.5 times or longer than conventional lubricants; longer engine life and lower maintenance rates.

How to reset the tire pressure light on a Roewe?

For Roewe vehicles, select 'Driving Maintenance' in the vehicle control interface; enter the tire pressure reset interface, confirm there are no issues with the tires; choose 'Start' while the vehicle is parked to complete the reset. Tire pressure monitoring light on: The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol, an irregular circle without a seal at the top, with four small spikes at the bottom and an exclamation mark inside. The tire pressure monitoring light indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure is generally caused by the following reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Typically, an alert is triggered when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, a tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to stay on. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure fault light will illuminate. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

What are the differences between the Multivan and the Caravelle?

The Multivan is a high-end 7-seater MPV model primarily designed for premium business receptions. The Caravelle, on the other hand, is an extended version of the Multivan, positioned as a mid-to-high-end 9-seater MPV, more inclined towards general business reception purposes. Below are the specific differences: 1. In terms of appearance, the Caravelle features a larger front grille and a longer body. Additionally, the Caravelle does not have a door on the left side of the body, whereas the Multivan is equipped with an ACC adaptive cruise system at the front. 2. For the interior, the Caravelle has a simple and tidy design with minimal decoration, emphasizing practicality. In contrast, the Multivan's interior appears more luxurious. 3. In terms of space, the Caravelle measures 5304x1904x1990 mm with a wheelbase of 3400 mm, offering 8-seater and 9-seater versions. The 8-seater version adopts a 3-row seating design and can form a sizable trunk at the rear. The Multivan measures 4904x1904x1970 mm with a wheelbase of 3000 mm, available only in 6-seater or 7-seater layouts, making the Caravelle superior in space. 4. Regarding features, the Multivan comes equipped with LED headlights + taillights, heated and folding mirrors, among other functions. The Caravelle only includes basic features such as halogen headlights + taillights, front and rear 8-probe parking radar, and heated mirrors.

What causes the EPC light to illuminate on the dashboard?

The EPC indicator light can illuminate in two scenarios: during the power-on self-test and under other circumstances. The power-on self-test is a pre-driving check of all vehicle sensors. Typically, if the engine is not started after power-on, the light will turn off automatically after about 3 seconds. In other cases, if the EPC light remains illuminated after vehicle startup or does not turn off for an extended period, the primary causes may include faults in the engine intake system, throttle issues, fuel system malfunctions, engine problems, ECU control unit failures, or brake light defects. The following provides a detailed explanation of the reasons for the EPC light illuminating under other conditions: Engine intake system fault: The EPC light will activate if the engine intake is obstructed or insufficient. Throttle fault: Carbon buildup is a common throttle issue, and contamination can also affect intake, triggering the indicator light. Fuel system fault: Examples include substandard fuel, degraded fuel, or poor fuel atomization. Engine fault: Insufficient engine pressure or issues with components like the intake valve in the powertrain can also prompt the EPC light. ECU control unit fault: This may involve interference with the vehicle computer signals or false alarms from the computer. Brake light fault: Situations such as non-functional brake lights, faulty brake switches, or brake circuit issues. Solutions for addressing the EPC light illumination: Troubleshoot intake system issues, use fuel of the appropriate grade, clean the throttle, etc. Remove carbon deposits from relevant components. Re-flash ECU-related data. If the EPC light illuminates, the driver can first attempt to turn off the engine and restart it to check if the light remains on. If it does not, the issue may be temporary interference. If the light persists or frequently illuminates, the vehicle should be taken to the nearest service center for professional diagnosis and repair to eliminate potential safety hazards. EPC stands for Electronic-Power-Control, commonly referred to as the Engine Electronic Stability System. The EPC system primarily includes controllers and sensors related to the powertrain. When sensor data deviates from normal parameters, the EPC system will take predefined actions to regulate the powertrain. Common EPC indicator lights typically display two colors: yellow and red. A yellow EPC fault light indicates the vehicle can still be driven, but it should proceed cautiously to a repair facility. A red EPC fault light signifies a more severe issue, requiring immediate roadside parking and contacting repair personnel. Continued driving under such conditions may directly affect core vehicle components or compromise safety.

How many liters of engine oil are needed for each oil change for the Haval H6?

If all the engine oil of the Haval H6 is completely drained, 4 liters of oil need to be added. You can check the oil dipstick to ensure the oil level does not exceed the upper mark or fall below the lower mark. Below are the specific details about the oil change intervals: 1. The oil change interval is generally specified in the new car manual, which represents the maximum interval for oil changes; 2. For fully synthetic oil, the change interval is every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers; 3. If the car is used infrequently and it takes several years to reach 10,000 kilometers, then change the oil based on time, which can be every two years.

How to Understand the Grade of Motor Oil?

Methods to understand the grade of motor oil: 1. Quality grade classification: The S-series represents oil for gasoline engines, while the C-series represents oil for diesel engines. From SA up to SN, each increasing letter indicates better performance than the previous one, with letters further back in the alphabet representing higher quality grades. 2. Viscosity grade classification: The 'W' stands for Winter, and the smaller the number before the 'W', the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity. Motor oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. Motor oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives.
