What are the differences between 30 and 40 oil viscosity?

40-grade oil has higher viscosity than 30-grade oil. 40-grade oil is suitable for higher maximum temperatures compared to 30-grade oil. 30-grade oil has better fluidity than 40-grade, which can reduce fuel consumption more effectively and dissipate heat from the engine faster. 40-grade oil offers better oil stability under extremely high-temperature conditions in the engine compared to 30-grade. Below are related explanations: 1. Oil grading: The numbers following the oil grade indicate its viscosity specification. For example, in "15W-40, 5W-40," the "W" stands for Winter. The smaller the number before "W," the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, indicating it can be used in lower environmental temperatures and provides better engine protection during cold starts. For instance, 5W can withstand external temperatures as low as -30°C, while 20W can only withstand -15°C. 2. Letter combinations: Oil grading uses a combination of two letters. The "S" series represents oil for gasoline engines, with specifications ranging from SA to SN (in alphabetical order, but excluding SI). Each subsequent letter indicates improved oil performance over the previous one, with more additives to protect the engine.

What Grade is SN Engine Oil?

SN-grade engine oil is classified as the highest grade of engine oil. Below is relevant information about SN engine oil: 1. Grade of SN engine oil: Engine oils starting with "S" are specifically for gasoline engines, meaning they cannot be used in diesel vehicles. Furthermore, engine oils are divided into twelve grades: SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, SM, and SN. With each ascending letter, the performance of the engine oil surpasses the previous grade. 2. Recommendations for using SN engine oil: Although SN-grade engine oil offers the best performance, it is advisable to use the grade specified by the engine manufacturer. However, if the vehicle is frequently driven in congested urban environments, using a higher-grade engine oil can be beneficial (more environmentally friendly and economical).

Can You Drive Without Coolant?

You cannot continue driving without coolant. Here is the relevant introduction to the cooling system: 1. The role of coolant: The function of coolant is to dissipate heat from the engine. Without coolant, the car's engine and radiator lose protection, affecting the heat dissipation of the radiator. The engine temperature will keep rising without effective cooling, and the normal circulation of antifreeze will be disrupted. Continuing to drive under such conditions may cause severe engine damage. In cold climates, it can also lead to the engine or radiator freezing, resulting in engine failure and rendering the vehicle inoperable. 2. The optimal coolant level: The coolant reservoir usually has 'max' (maximum level) and 'min' (minimum level) markings. If the coolant level is below the 'min' mark, it indicates insufficient coolant, and it needs to be replenished promptly. The ideal amount of coolant to add should be between the 'max' and 'min' levels.

What is Horsepower?

Horsepower is a unit of power, a physical quantity used to indicate the rate at which work is done. It generally refers to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. By convention, 1 metric horsepower is defined as the work required to lift a 75-kilogram object 1 meter in 1 second. Additional Information: 1. Metric Horsepower: It takes a value very close to imperial horsepower, stipulating that 1 metric horsepower is the work done to complete 75 kilogram-force·meters in 1 second. That is: 1 metric horsepower = 75 kilogram-force·meters/second = 735 watts. 2. Imperial Horsepower: Countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States use imperial horsepower. 1 imperial horsepower equals 550 foot-pounds/second, which is equivalent to 745.7 watts.

How to Judge the Distance Behind Based on Rearview Mirrors?

Methods for judging the distance behind based on rearview mirrors: 1. Rearview mirror adjustment standards: Adjust the rearview mirrors properly. The standard for both side mirrors is to be able to see the door handles of your own rear doors, with the handles positioned at the middle height of the mirrors. 2. Safe zone position in the rearview mirror: If the rear vehicle is in the safe zone and located at the center of the mirror, it indicates a distance of approximately 15,000 to 20,000 millimeters from the rear vehicle, allowing normal turning operations. 3. Unsafe position in the rearview mirror: If the rear vehicle occupies half of the mirror's area, with only half of its body visible, it means the distance is very close. Maintain your current lane and avoid turning.
