SN has a higher oil grade than SL. The API classification represents the quality grade of engine oil. It uses simple codes to describe the working capability of engine oil. Oil grades are classified into SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, SM, and SN levels, with the later letters indicating progressively higher grades. SN is currently the highest-grade engine oil. Below is a relevant introduction: 1. Engine oil overview: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. 2. Oil composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, providing new characteristics. Additives are an essential part of lubricating oil.

When can I get the vehicle license for a new car?

Under normal circumstances, the vehicle license for a new car can be obtained on the same day. Before the new car is registered, the vehicle management department will produce the vehicle license on the spot for the owner using motor vehicle license plate image synthesis technology. The new system utilizes motor vehicle license plate image synthesis technology and employs advanced three-dimensional image processing methods, allowing the printing of the vehicle license photo in advance even before the owner receives the license plate. This reduces the number of trips and waiting time for the owner, improving work efficiency. The motor vehicle license is the legal document permitting the vehicle to drive on roads within China. The license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed certificate core, while the back features the vehicle photo, which is sealed in a plastic cover. The supplementary page is the endorsed certificate core.

If any item fails again on the second attempt, the entire test will be considered failed. Below is a detailed introduction to Subject 2: Test content: (1) The test includes pile driving, hill start, parallel parking, single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turn, narrow gate, continuous obstacles, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turn, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. (2) For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission cars for disabled passengers, and low-speed trucks, the test includes reverse parking, hill start (canceled from June 1, 2021), parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turn. (3) For three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and mopeds, the test includes pile driving, hill start, and single-plank bridge.

What are the reasons for insufficient air conditioning cooling in the Volkswagen Sagitar?

When the Volkswagen Sagitar experiences insufficient air conditioning cooling, possible causes include damage to the air conditioning compressor, expansion valve, or throttle valve; failure of the air conditioning flap motor; aging or loose belts; insufficient refrigerant; or excessive moisture or impurities in the pipeline. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Insufficient or low refrigerant: A lack of refrigerant is a common cause of poor air conditioning cooling in cars, often due to minor leaks. Solution: Observe the sight glass on the dryer tank. During normal operation, if continuous slow bubbles appear in the sight glass, it indicates insufficient refrigerant. If obvious bubble flipping occurs, it signifies a severe shortage of refrigerant. 2. Loose air conditioning compressor drive belt: A loose drive belt can cause slipping during compressor operation, reducing transmission efficiency and lowering the compressor's speed. This results in decreased refrigerant compression and delivery, leading to inadequate cooling.

Where is the towing hook located on the Sagitar?

Sagitar's front towing hook is located inside the right cover of the front bumper. Below is relevant information about towing hooks: Definition: The towing hook is also called a tow ball, ball-type rear towing hook, or tow bar. In a broad sense, the tow ball refers to an entire towing system. Composition: It consists of three parts: a fixed bracket, a ball body, and a wiring harness (power control unit). Precautions: Towing ropes should generally be 3-10 meters long and made of specialized materials such as cloth straps or steel wires, which can typically withstand at least 2 tons of weight to ensure smooth towing. If the towed vehicle loses steering capability, a metal tow bar about 1.8 meters long should be used to maintain stability during the towing process.

Where is the Volkswagen oil pressure regulating valve located?

Volkswagen oil pressure regulating valve is usually installed on the oil filter housing. The oil pressure regulating valve is mainly used in the engine lubrication system to regulate oil pressure and limit the lubrication system. If damaged, it can cause low oil pressure warnings. Here is additional information: 1. Function: The oil pressure regulating valve (also known as the pressure relief valve) is designed to limit the maximum pressure in the lubrication system, preventing excessive pressure that could damage lubrication components or cause oil leaks. 2. Categories: The valve consists of a valve body assembly and an actuator assembly (or actuator system), divided into four main series: single-seat control valves, double-seat control valves, sleeve control valves, and self-operated control valves.
