Mobil Silver and Mobil Gold have the following main differences: 1. Different properties: Mobil Gold is the top-tier engine oil of Mobil 1, with a relatively newer formula, belonging to the 6th generation; Mobil Silver belongs to the 5th generation formula, with average performance, significantly inferior to Mobil Gold. 2. Different grades: Mobil Silver has viscosity grades of 5w-30, 5w-40, and 5W-50; Mobil Gold only has one viscosity grade, 0W-40. 3. Different quality: Mobil Gold uses Group IV PAO fully synthetic base oil, with better anti-wear protection and low-temperature performance in additive formulation compared to Mobil Silver; many grades of Mobil Silver use MSDW hydroisomerized oil, commonly referred to as Group III+, which is no longer fully synthetic oil in the true sense.

Signs That a Motorcycle Needs an Oil Change

Signs that a motorcycle needs an oil change: The noise of the motorcycle may increase; the smoothness of the motorcycle engine's rotation may also decrease. Here is some information about engine oil: Function: Engine oil is the lifeblood of the engine. Inside the engine, it not only lubricates but also cleans, seals, buffers, prevents rust, and dissipates heat. When the engine is running, the oil forms a thin film on the surfaces of various components, preventing direct contact and friction between them. Purchasing Engine Oil: When buying engine oil, always purchase from reputable sources and ensure that you select the correct type for your motorcycle's engine.

How often does a new car need an oil change?

New cars require an oil change every six months or after driving 5,000 kilometers. Engine oil, also known as motor oil or engine lubricant, is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, primarily containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers. The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear on moving parts, remove sludge (one function of dispersants) and varnish (detergents) from the engine. It also neutralizes acids produced by fuel and lubricant oxidation (detergents), improves piston ring sealing, and cools the engine by carrying away heat from moving parts.

What is the tire size of the classic Sylphy?

The tire size of the classic Sylphy is 185/65R15. Tires are round, elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for rolling contact with the ground. They are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning performance. The classic Sylphy is a compact car with dimensions of 4631mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1503mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 122PS, a maximum torque of 155Nm, and a maximum power of 90kW.

What is the normal temperature for a car's coolant?

Coolant temperature is crucial while driving, but strictly speaking, the temperature gauge does not display the water temperature but rather the temperature of the antifreeze. The normal temperature is generally around 90 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too high, it will trigger a warning. The reasons for an excessively high coolant temperature are as follows: Coolant leakage or insufficient coolant: If there is a leak in the cooling system, the antifreeze temperature will rise due to insufficient antifreeze, causing the engine's operating temperature to become unstable. It is best to add the same type of antifreeze. Cooling fan malfunction: If the cooling fan fails, the heat in the coolant cannot dissipate in time, leading to "boiling over." Therefore, it is necessary to reduce speed and stop the vehicle promptly, but do not rush to turn off the engine. The main focus should be on checking for any electrical issues.

How Many Times Should the Automatic Transmission Start Button Be Pressed in a Sedan?

Press the automatic transmission start button twice in a sedan. First, press the start button once, and after the ACC light turns on, press the start button again. At this point, the one-touch start button will turn green, and the vehicle will perform a self-check. Automatic transmission typically refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations. Generally, an automatic transmission car has six gears, arranged from top to bottom as: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low). The automatic transmission uses planetary gear mechanisms for shifting, which can automatically change gears based on the degree of the accelerator pedal and changes in vehicle speed.
