What is the engine oil specification for the Geely King Kong manual?

Geely King Kong's dedicated engine oil specification is SJ-10w-30. Oil introduction: 5w represents low-temperature resistance down to -30°C (calculated as 5-35=-30. For example, 0w40 would be 0-35=-35°C). The number 40 represents high-temperature viscosity, determining oil film strength and lubricant thickness. Oil selection method: Based on China's climate conditions, all-season oil can be chosen for most regions, suitable for both winter and summer. All-season oil grades include: 5W/20, 5W/30, 5W/40, 5W/50, etc. The smaller the winter number, the better the low-temperature performance; the larger the summer number, the higher the viscosity and the wider the applicable temperature range.

I've been driving a Geely King Kong for five years, and the manual clearly specifies using 5W-30 engine oil. This all-season oil can start normally even at -20°C and is less prone to deterioration in summer heat. I remember the dealership used Shell Helix 5W-30 during the first service, and I've stuck with this grade for subsequent maintenance. The key is to look for the API certification mark - SN grade or above is recommended for better cleaning and anti-wear performance. Don't cheap out on no-name oils that can cause sludge and engine damage. For my 2,000km monthly commute, changing oil every 8,000km is the safest practice.

After repairing cars for ten years, I've seen too many cases of cylinder scuffing due to wrong engine oil usage. The Geely King Kong's factory manual specifies using semi-synthetic 5W-30 or higher grade—never randomly change the viscosity. Just two days ago, a King Kong owner switched to 10W-40 himself, resulting in engine rattling during cold starts. For older cars exceeding 100,000 km, considering 5W-40 is acceptable, but new vehicles must strictly follow the manual. In winter, remember to check the oil dipstick in advance and top up promptly if it's below the minimum level. Here's a tip: the recommended viscosity parameters are usually engraved inside the oil filler cap.

When I first got the King Kong, I made sure to read the manual three times. The manufacturer-recommended oil specification is 5W-30. The maintenance package at the 4S shop uses Kunlun KR8 semi-synthetic oil, which matches the specification perfectly. Be especially careful not to be tricked by repair shops into using higher viscosity oil—the precision components of a new engine require the flow characteristics of 5W-30. The recommended maintenance interval is 7,500-10,000 kilometers, depending on driving habits. I set an oil change reminder on my phone and reset the mileage counter after each service. Don’t forget to replace the oil filter at the same time—the Mann W712/92 is the best fit for this model.

What to do if 12 points are deducted from a driver's license within one year?

If 12 points are deducted from a driver's license within one year, the system will automatically revoke the license, and the driver will need to reapply for a new one through the learning process. Here are the detailed explanations: If the vehicle has a violation worth 12 points: The driver should wait until after the probationary period to handle it, because the system checks whether the driver was in the probationary period on the day of the violation. If so, the license will still be revoked. If your vehicle accumulates 12 points during your probationary period, you must not use your own license to handle the violation. If the vehicle is penalized with 12 points: If your driver's license is still in the probationary period, the best solution is to have someone else take the points.

Subject 3 Gear Shifting Operation?

Subject 3 gear shifting operation involves the following steps: When engaging 1st gear, press the clutch with your left foot, gently hold the gear lever with your right hand and move it parallel to the left, then push the lever forward to enter 1st gear. Lift the clutch with your left foot, pause slightly at the semi-engagement position, then fully release the clutch and place your left foot on the footrest. When shifting to 2nd gear, press the clutch with your left foot, use your right wrist to pull the gear lever backward to engage 2nd gear, then slowly release the clutch with your left foot. To shift to 3rd gear, press the clutch with your left foot, push the gear lever forward with your right hand to let it return to neutral naturally, then push it straight forward to engage 3rd gear. Slowly release the clutch. Finally, shift up or down according to different speeds as needed.

How to Reactivate a Battery That Has Been Stored for Two Years?

Use a repair device to reactivate. 1. Check water level: First, check if the battery is low on water. If it is, add an appropriate amount of distilled water, then use a charger to recharge it. 2. Increase voltage: If the battery voltage is below 10V, the battery cannot be charged, which is commonly referred to as 'starved.' In this case, you can use a repair device to reactivate it. The high-resistance repair function of the repair device can raise the battery voltage back above 10V, allowing it to be charged. During storage, a car battery loses about 1% of its charge per day due to its self-discharge rate. If the battery is stored for too long, it will gradually lose its charge. The longer the battery remains idle in a discharged state, the more severe the damage will be, eventually leading to complete failure.

Can a 10-year-old Polo use 5W30 engine oil?

A 10-year-old Polo can use 5W30 engine oil. Normally, for new cars driven gently, 5W30 oil is suitable. For older vehicles with higher mileage, 5W40 oil is recommended. Below are the methods for checking engine oil level and usage precautions: Method for checking engine oil level: After allowing the oil to circulate through the engine, wait for 10 to 30 minutes before checking the dipstick's fluid level. The height on the dipstick indicates the engine oil condition. Precautions for using engine oil: Select oil according to the engine's requirements, ensuring compatibility. Multi-grade oils are preferred as they offer advantages like fuel efficiency, extended service life, and superior protection for the engine. The oil level should be slightly below the dipstick's maximum mark—avoid overfilling.

Is driving over 70 considered speeding when the speed limit is 70?

When the speed limit is 70, driving above 70 is considered speeding. Exceeding the prescribed speed limit constitutes speeding, and traffic laws stipulate that exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% is considered a violation. Below is the relevant information: No speeding: Motor vehicles driving on the road must not exceed the maximum speed indicated by speed limit signs. On roads without speed limit signs, a safe speed should be maintained. Lane classification: If there are two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, the left lane is the fast lane, and the right lane is the slow lane. Vehicles driving in the fast lane should maintain the speed specified for the fast lane. Vehicles that cannot reach the specified speed of the fast lane should drive in the slow lane.

Where is the crankcase ventilation valve located on the Passat Lingyu?

Volkswagen Passat's crankcase ventilation valve is located below the intake manifold. Precautions for crankcase usage: If the crankcase ventilation check valve is damaged, it will cause increased pressure in the crankcase, excessive oil consumption, and affect exhaust emissions. Timely inspection and replacement are required if the crankcase ventilation valve is damaged or malfunctioning. Function of the crankcase: The crankcase is one of the most critical components in the engine. It bears the force transmitted from the connecting rod and converts it into torque output through the crankshaft to drive other engine accessories. The crankcase is subjected to centrifugal forces from rotating masses, periodically varying gas inertial forces, and reciprocating inertial forces, causing the crankshaft to endure bending and torsional loads. It also prevents oil deterioration and leakage from the crankshaft oil seals and crankcase gaskets.
