Here is an introduction to the differences between Mobil 1 Classic Performance and Advanced Performance: 1. Difference in viscosity grades: Mobil Advanced Performance has three viscosity grades: 0W-20, 0W-30, and 0W-40, while Classic Performance has five viscosity grades: 0W-20, 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-30, and 5W-40. 2. Difference in performance: The oil change interval for Mobil Advanced Performance can reach 20,000 kilometers, while that for Mobil Classic Performance is 18,000 kilometers. Additionally, Mobil Advanced Performance uses a special formula and emerging technologies, so its performance is superior to that of Mobil Classic Performance. 3. Different vehicle applications: Mobil Advanced Performance is suitable for all European, American, Japanese, Korean, and domestic brand vehicles, including both National VI and National V models. Mobil Classic Performance, on the other hand, is suitable for over 70 high-end models. The application range of Advanced Performance is broader than that of Classic Performance. 4. Difference in oil price: Mobil Advanced Performance is more advanced in terms of performance and technology compared to Mobil Classic Performance, which also results in a higher price for Advanced Performance.

Many people struggle to distinguish between Mobil 1 Classic Performance and Advanced Fuel Economy. From a formulation perspective, Classic uses standard full synthetic base oils with additives primarily focused on engine cleanliness and wear protection, making it suitable for vehicles of all ages—especially older cars that have been running for years, as it provides better protection, reduced noise, and durability. On the other hand, Advanced Fuel Economy incorporates specialized friction modifiers to significantly improve fuel efficiency, making it ideal for modern fuel-efficient models like hybrids or small-displacement engines. Personally, I’ve tested it and achieved savings of 0.3-0.5 liters per 100 km. However, its lower viscosity makes it less suitable for aggressive driving or older engines. Both have similar maintenance intervals—around one year or 10,000 km per change. When choosing, consider your vehicle’s condition and driving habits rather than just the brand.

How to Turn on the Heating in a Car's Air Conditioning System?

Method to turn on the heating in a car's air conditioning system: After starting the car, wait approximately 8 to 15 minutes until the water temperature rises to the normal level. At this point, you can turn on the heating. Adjust the air conditioning circulation mode to the internal circulation and switch to the heating mode. Some cars indicate this with a red zone, while others use a sun symbol. Additionally, do not turn on the AC switch. When the car is first started, the engine oil needs some time to lubricate all components. If you turn on the heating at this time, the insufficient internal lubrication of the engine will increase friction resistance, leading to higher engine load and inevitably higher fuel consumption. However, many people mistakenly blame the heating for this. The correct approach is to wait for a while after starting the car until the water temperature rises before turning on the heating.

How many kilometers should the Mercedes-Benz C-Class fuel filter be replaced?

Mercedes-Benz C-Class fuel filter should be replaced approximately every 50,000 kilometers. Main functions of the fuel filter: Filter impurities in gasoline, remove impurities and moisture from the fuel, improve the cleanliness of gasoline, and prevent impurities from entering the fuel system and affecting the injection system. As long as the fuel added is clean, the filter can be used for a long time without issues. Classification of fuel filters: Fuel filters come in two types: built-in and external. The external filter has an iron shell with filter paper inside to filter impurities. The external filter has a relatively short service life and should be replaced around 50,000 kilometers. The built-in filter (used in most Mercedes-Benz vehicles today) is more difficult to remove, so it is designed with a large-capacity, long-lasting filter material. The built-in filter is recommended to be replaced around 100,000 kilometers. Working principles of built-in and external filters: The working principle of the built-in filter is completely different from that of the external filter. The external filter is located after the fuel pump, where the fuel output by the pump passes through the filter paper inside the external filter under pressure. The built-in filter is placed at the input end of the fuel pump, where the fuel is filtered by the filter material inside the filter screen before entering the fuel pump. This filter material has a large volume and high filtration capacity, resulting in a relatively longer service life. Symptoms of a clogged fuel filter: Weak acceleration and noticeable power loss when the car is fully loaded. Severe engine vibration at idle. Difficulty starting or inability to start the car.

Where is the cabin air filter located in the Haval H2?

The cabin air filter in the Haval H2 is located behind the glove compartment on the right side of the driver's cabin, while the engine air filter is inside the front engine cover. The cabin air filter is a filter installed in the vehicle's air conditioning system that absorbs dust particles, alleviates respiratory discomfort, reduces irritation for allergy sufferers, and protects the air conditioning cooling system. The steps to replace the Haval H2 cabin air filter are as follows: 1. Open the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat and remove all items inside. 2. After clearing the items, pinch the limit block at the lower right of the glove compartment and squeeze it outward to open it. 3. Use the same method to open the limit block at the lower left of the glove compartment, then remove the glove compartment. 4. Once the glove compartment is removed, press the plastic clip on the cabin air filter housing and take it out. 5. After removing the filter housing, replace it with a new cabin air filter, then reassemble the glove compartment in reverse order of disassembly.

Do I Need to Replace Brake Fluid When Changing the Brake Pump?

Replacing the brake pump requires changing the brake fluid. Because after replacing the wheel cylinder, air needs to be bled, which will cause the original brake fluid to be depleted. If the brake fluid is replaced at the same location, it can simply be topped up. Characteristics of brake fluid: Automotive brake fluid has a very low freezing point, ensuring good fluidity in low-temperature conditions. It also has an extremely high boiling point, preventing vapor lock in high-temperature states. Function of brake fluid: Brake fluid is the liquid medium in hydraulic braking systems that transmits braking pressure, used in vehicles with hydraulic braking systems. In a sealed container or a liquid-filled pipeline, when the liquid is under pressure, it quickly and evenly transmits the pressure to all parts of the liquid.
