Currently, gasoline engine oils are classified into grades SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, SM, SN, and SP; diesel engine oils are classified into grades CA, CB, CC, CD, CD-II, CE, CF-II, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, and CI-4. Below is more related information: Classification based on SAE viscosity grades: 1. Engine oils are classified according to SAE viscosity grades, with 6 types for winter, 5 types for summer, and 16 types for all-season use. 2. There are 6 types of winter engine oils: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, and 25W. The 'W' stands for Winter, and the smaller the number before it, the greater the oil's fluidity and the lower the applicable temperature. 3. There are 5 types of summer engine oils: 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60. The larger the number, the higher the oil's viscosity and the stronger its high-temperature protection performance, making it suitable for higher temperature environments. 4. There are 16 types of all-season engine oils: 5W20, 5W30, 5W40, 5W50, 10W20, 10W30, 10W40, 10W50, 15W30, 15W40, 15W50, 20W20, 20W30, 20W40, and 20W50.

What is the solution for crankshaft seizure?

Engine crankshaft seizure repair method: 1. Disassemble the engine: Separate the crankshaft and bearing shells, remove connecting rods and pistons, disassemble piston pins, remove cylinder head assembly, and extract camshaft. 2. Inspection: Check crankshaft damage and out-of-roundness, measure cylinder bore and piston ovality, examine camshaft and bearing shell roundness. If out-of-roundness exceeds standards, machining repair or part replacement is required. 3. Final processing: Assemble the engine according to overhaul standards. After completion, measure cylinder compression, then conduct engine bench testing. After successful testing, reinstall in the vehicle.

How Long Does Auto Body Panel Repair Take?

Auto body panel repair time depends on the technique. Generally, minor deformations can be fixed within half an hour. However, after panel repair, processes like painting and baking are required, which take at least two to three days. Below are some situations that require panel repair: 1. Impact-induced dents: Dents caused by impacts need panel repair. Methods like hammering or pulling can be used to fix dents on panels. 2. Warping or skewing deformation: Panels may warp or skew due to impacts, scratches, or improper use, and also require this repair method.

Will Power Improve After Replacing the Air Filter?

The power will improve after replacing the air filter. The main function of the air filter is to filter the engine intake to ensure optimal fuel efficiency, and the cleanliness of the air filter directly affects the engine's lifespan. The air filter is usually located on the left side of the engine compartment, the right side of the engine compartment, or directly above the engine. The air filter can reduce air resistance, improve intake efficiency, and more efficient intake leads to more complete combustion, thereby enhancing power. If the vehicle owner frequently drives in dusty conditions, it is even more important to clean or replace the air filter promptly. If the air filter becomes clogged, resulting in insufficient air intake, it will directly manifest as a lack of power, and in severe cases, issues like cylinder scoring may occur.

What are the reasons for the blower not working in the Sylphy?

Here are the reasons why the car blower is not working: 1. Poor contact: The main control switch has poor contact. 2. Wire damage: The fan motor wire is damaged. 3. Loose screw: The tightening screw between the fan motor and the fan blade is loose. 4. Short circuit: The fan capacitor is open or short-circuited. Here is extended information on how to deal with a non-working air conditioner blower: 1. Replace the switch: Use a multimeter to measure the contact resistance of the main control switch, and replace the main control switch or the fan motor coil. 2. Tighten: Fasten the tightening screw. 3. Check the capacitor: Replace it with a capacitor of the same specification.

What causes the yellow warning light on the dashboard after starting the engine?

The reason for the yellow warning light on the dashboard after starting the engine is an engine malfunction that requires prompt repair. Causes of engine malfunctions include sensor issues, maintenance problems, and fuel quality problems. Sensors involved may include those for coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, oxygen levels, etc. When these sensors are damaged, the ECU will send a signal, causing the engine warning light to illuminate. Prolonged lack of engine maintenance can also trigger the engine warning light, so it's important to perform regular car maintenance. Additionally, vehicles require specific fuel grades. If a car consistently uses fuel that doesn't meet the recommended grade, it can lead to engine wear and trigger the warning light.

How often should a sedan change its engine oil?

Sedans generally need an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers. The frequency of oil changes depends on the quality of the oil used, the driving environment, and the age and model of the car. Specific intervals can be determined according to the vehicle's user manual. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, aiding in cooling, sealing against leaks, preventing rust and corrosion, and providing shock absorption. It is not recommended to frequently switch between different oil brands. When changing oil, ensure that the replacement oil is genuine and meets the required specifications to avoid damaging the vehicle or its engine. Oils of the same specification have identical performance characteristics, but the quality of the oil can significantly impact the engine's lifespan.
