Quartz 7000 performs better in terms of low fuel consumption and cold-start performance, while Quartz 5000 has slightly better anti-wear and anti-corrosion properties. Both Quartz 5000 and Quartz 7000 are Total's semi-synthetic lubricants, but Quartz 5000 is slightly lower in grade compared to Quartz 7000. Even though both have an API rating of SN, Quartz 5000 also has two SM ratings. In terms of cost-performance ratio, Quartz 5000 is higher than Quartz 7000. Quartz 7000: Although Quartz 7000 is a semi-synthetic lubricant, it also features smooth performance in reducing fuel consumption and cold starts. Even under harsh driving conditions, it ensures excellent engine power performance. Additionally, Quartz 7000 offers good anti-wear protection and long-lasting engine cleaning performance. Quartz 7000 has an API rating of SN and comes in two viscosity grades: 5W-30 and 10W-40. Quartz 5000: Like Quartz 7000, Quartz 5000 also has advantages such as reduced fuel consumption and smooth cold starts. It also features excellent anti-wear and anti-corrosion properties, as well as protection for turbochargers. It can be understood as the predecessor to Quartz 7000, with slightly lower performance. Its API and viscosity grades are SN 5W-30, SN 10W-40, SM 5W-30, and SM 10W-40.

How to adjust the time on Volkswagen Lavida?

The steps to adjust the instrument panel time on a Volkswagen Lavida are as follows: 1. Insert the Volkswagen Lavida car key and start the engine to display the time on the instrument panel; 2. Press and hold the protruding button in the middle of the Volkswagen Lavida instrument panel for 3 seconds until the clock on the instrument panel starts flashing, then release; 3. Once the clock on the Volkswagen Lavida instrument panel starts flashing, press the button up or down to change the clock display, adjusting it to the actual time as needed; 4. After setting the clock on the Volkswagen Lavida instrument panel, wait for about 2 seconds until the minutes start flashing, then continue pressing the button up or down to adjust the minutes to the correct value; 5. Once both the clock and minutes on the Volkswagen Lavida instrument panel are adjusted, the time on the panel will flash simultaneously. Wait for 5 seconds until the time stops flashing, and the adjustment is complete.

What Causes Abnormal Braking Noises in Cars?

Reasons and solutions for abnormal braking noises upon startup: 1. New car or recently replaced brake pads producing noise: This usually occurs because the brake pads and discs are brand new and haven't gone through the break-in period, resulting in unusual sounds. Solution: If the noise disappears after some use, it's considered normal. 2. Foreign objects between brake pads and discs causing noise: While driving, sand particles may get lodged between the brake pads and discs, sometimes creating friction noise. Solution: Simply remove the foreign objects from the braking system. 3. Low temperature causing braking noise: Low-frequency noise when braking during cold starts. Due to low temperatures, rubber components in the chassis suspension become stiff and may vibrate with the frame, causing low-frequency noise from the brake calipers or suspension system. Solution: Drive for a while until the vehicle warms up. 4. Loose or aged suspension/chassis components causing braking noise: Missing or damaged brake disc mounting screws can also cause noise. Loose or worn components like shock absorber mounting screws, stabilizer bar rubber bushings, or ball joints may produce braking noise while driving. Solution: Regular inspection and replacement. 5. Brake disc corrosion causing noise: Vehicle brake discs and pads may corrode due to water exposure or prolonged parking, especially after extended handbrake use, causing adhesion between discs and pads that produces initial noise. Solution: Inspect and replace brake discs. 6. Severely worn brake pads/discs causing abnormal noise: Brake pads typically have wear indicators. When pads wear to their limit, the indicator rubs against the disc creating noise. Worn brake discs may produce noise due to surface contamination, uneven material density, excessive operating temperatures, or improper installation torque. Solution: Inspect and replace brake pads or discs.

How to Remove the Rear Seats of a Corolla?

The steps to remove the rear seats of a Corolla are as follows: 1. There is a slot at the bottom front of each side of the seat. To remove it, reach under the seat and pull up firmly; 2. To reinstall, align and press down firmly. For the backrest part, remove the two small backrests on the sides; 3. After removing the seat, you will see a hex screw at the bottom of the small backrest. Remove the screw and pull the small backrest upward to detach it. The method to lift the rear seats of a Corolla is as follows: 1. Under the headrests on both sides of the rear seats, there is a switch. Press it and push forward; 2. The backrest can be folded. Open the rear trunk, and below the seat (if not visible, it might be under the seat), there is a black strap. Pull it backward and lift the seat upward; 3. Hook the strap onto the headrest of the front seat, and adjust the tightness of the strap.

What grade of engine oil is suitable for the Trumpchi GS5?

According to the manufacturer's data, there are four different types of engine oil available for the Trumpchi GS5: Petronas SL-5W-40 mineral oil, Elf Super Sport SM-10W-40 (semi-synthetic), Elf Competizione SM-10W-40 (semi-synthetic), and Elf Evolution SM-5W-30 (fully synthetic). The specifications of the engine oil are explained as follows: 1. "W" stands for winter, and the number before "W" represents the viscosity at low temperatures. The smaller the number, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, and the better the protection for the engine during cold starts. The number after "W" indicates the viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the number, the higher the viscosity, providing better protection for the engine at high temperatures. 2. The freezing point temperature for 5W oil is -30°C, and for 10W oil, it is -25°C.

Are Tires Within One Year Considered Stock Tires?

Are Tires Within One Year Considered Stock Tires? Here is the relevant introduction about stock tires: 1. Tires over one year old are considered stock tires. There is a set of numbers on the tire sidewall, and the last four digits of this set represent the manufacturing date. The first two digits indicate the week of the year, and the last two digits represent the year. By calculating, you can identify whether the tire is a stock tire. 2. Tires are rubber products, and their storage is affected by humidity and temperature. Rubber is sensitive to environmental temperature and humidity, and over time, aging can occur. The various chemical substances inside the tire require a certain period to be released and stabilized. Only after stabilization can the tire's wear resistance reach an ideal state, allowing for longer use and mileage. 3. Tires that have been in storage for three years are considered expired tires. The rubber of these tires has aged, leading to a significant decline in comfort, increased susceptibility to cracking, and reduced heat dissipation performance.
