Mobil Silver has three viscosity grades: 5w-30, 5w-40, and 5W-50, while Mobil Gold only has one viscosity grade: 0W-40. Mobil 1 top-tier engine oil features a newer formula, belonging to the 6th generation. Mobil Silver, on the other hand, uses the 5th generation formula with relatively average performance, significantly inferior to Mobil Gold. Mobil Gold is approximately 70 RMB more expensive than Mobil Silver. Specific details are as follows: 1. Mobil Gold is more fuel-efficient: Mobil Gold lasts longer than Mobil Silver and offers better fluidity at low temperatures. Additionally, it is more fuel-efficient and provides stronger power. Mobil Gold uses Group IV PAO fully synthetic base oil, which, combined with its additive formula, offers superior wear protection and low-temperature performance compared to Mobil Silver. 2. Mobil Silver: In recent years, many grades of Mobil Silver engine oil have begun to use MSDW hydroisomerized oil, commonly referred to as Group III+, which is no longer fully synthetic in the true sense.

Can I still use my driver's license after changing my name?

No, you cannot use your driver's license after changing your name. If your household register contains both your previous name and new name, you can bring your household register and ID card to the vehicle management office to apply for a new driver's license. Regulations on reissuing a driver's license: The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" stipulate: After a motor vehicle driver replaces their driver's license, the original driver's license becomes invalid and cannot be used anymore. During the period when a driver's license is legally confiscated, detained, or temporarily suspended, the driver cannot apply for a replacement. Precautions for replacing a driver's license: If a driver has accumulated 12 penalty points in a scoring cycle and wants to replace their license, they must retake the subject one exam and pass it. Reasons for replacement include not only loss or damage but also the expiration of the license, in which case remember to bring the original and a copy of the physical condition certificate. Drivers who replace their license due to damage cannot drive with the original license during the period before receiving the new one, otherwise it will be considered as driving without a license.

What Happens When a Car Lacks Engine Oil?

When a car lacks engine oil, it may experience increased noise, engine cylinder scoring, and abnormal operation of the solenoid valve. Increased Noise: When the engine oil is insufficient, it may lead to excessively low oil pressure, causing the oil pressure warning light on the dashboard to illuminate, alerting the driver. The engine noise may become louder due to the lack of oil, and the engine will also suffer from inadequate lubrication. Engine Cylinder Scoring: During operation, the engine oil forms an oil film on all necessary lubrication points, preventing direct contact between these components and thereby reducing wear. If these rubbing components come into direct contact, it will not only cause severe wear but also generate extremely high heat instantly, as the engine operates at very high speeds. This heat may lead to engine cylinder scoring. Abnormal Solenoid Valve Operation: When the oil level is too low, resulting in insufficient oil pressure, the engine's variable timing solenoid valve may malfunction. This can prevent precise control of the engine's intake and exhaust valves, leading to symptoms such as reduced power and increased fuel consumption.

What are the differences between the second-generation and third-generation GM 6AT?

The differences between the second-generation and third-generation 6AT lie in the interior and exterior design as well as the body dimensions, with the third-generation model featuring a larger body size. Exterior Design: The third-generation Haval 6AT has been upgraded with a larger body size, featuring a more exaggerated exterior design and standard matrix LED headlights. The interior introduces dual floating screens for the first time, providing an unobstructed view of the dashboard and a strong sense of technology. The exterior dimensions measure 4653mm in length, 1886mm in width, and 1730mm in height, compared to the second-generation model's 4600mm, 1860mm, and 1720mm, showing improvements in all three dimensions. Engine: The second-generation model has a wheelbase of 2680mm, while the third-generation model is extended to 2738mm, an increase of 58mm, resulting in a noticeable improvement in interior space. The second-generation and third-generation models use different engines. The second-generation model is equipped with two engine options: a low-power 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The third-generation model uses a high-power 1.5-liter turbocharged engine.

How to Repair a Slightly Dented Car Door?

Body panel repair is the best solution for fixing small dents on car doors and external dents on vehicles. Of course, after panel repair, another process is required, which is painting. This is because the metal panel surface will experience paint wear and peeling due to tool operations during the panel repair process. Methods for dealing with scratches on the car are as follows: 1. Hairline scratches: Hairline scratches can usually be removed by polishing or applying a rubbing compound. A simple wipe is often enough to make the hairline scratch disappear. 2. Light scratches: For light scratches, just prepare a tube of toothpaste. Toothpaste is very effective for shallow scratches that haven't damaged the car's primer. It can especially clean off traces left by other vehicles' paint during minor collisions or residues from sticky products like adhesives, most of which can be wiped away completely. 3. Moderate to deep scratches: Moderate and deep scratches cannot be repaired by polishing. For small dents with a depth not exceeding 5mm, they can be leveled by filling with putty before proceeding with touch-up painting.

What Causes the Clicking Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel After Installing Coilover Suspension?

The reasons for the clicking sound when turning the steering wheel after installing coilover suspension are as follows: Loose Shock Absorber Mounting: Long-term vibrations during driving can cause the mounting nuts to loosen, leading to abnormal noise from the shock absorber. Solution: Tighten the mounting nuts. Insufficient Shock Absorber Oil: Lack of oil in the shock absorber can also cause abnormal noise. Check for oil leakage. If there is leakage, it is recommended to replace the shock absorber directly. If there is no leakage, inspect other components of the shock absorber system. Worn Rubber Bushings: Worn rubber bushings at both ends of the shock absorber create play at the mounting points, causing noise during driving. Solution: Replace the rubber bushings. Deformed Components: Deformation of the shock absorber piston rod, cylinder tube, or oil reservoir can cause abnormal noise and lead to shock absorber failure, even posing safety risks. Repair is not recommended (as it is complicated). Instead, replace the shock absorber with a new one.

To What Extent Does the Rear Quarter Panel Need to Be Cut?

Rear quarter panels need to be cut when they are severely damaged and cannot be restored through welding. In cases where the rear quarter panel is damaged, whether it is replaced entirely or only the rear section is cut and replaced, it will increase the vehicle's damage to some extent. Impact of Cutting the Rear Quarter Panel: Although cutting the rear quarter panel does not affect performance, it can impact the aesthetic appearance of the car's paint. If the metalworking process is not done properly, the paint may crack over time. Therefore, if the rear quarter panel only has scratches, some corrections can be made, followed by welding and repainting. Cutting the Rear Quarter Panel Counts as a Major Accident: Cutting the rear quarter panel qualifies the car as a major accident vehicle because if the rear quarter panel has been cut and replaced, it indicates that the car has been involved in an accident where standard metal repairs were insufficient. However, if only metal repairs were performed without cutting or welding, it does not count as an accident vehicle, indicating only minor scratches or scuffs.
