The viscosity grade of engine oil is closely related to the vehicle model and local temperature, indicating the ambient temperature. Below is an introduction to vehicle models and grades: 1. Vehicle models: Japanese cars primarily use low-viscosity oil, while German cars primarily use high-viscosity oil. 2. Grades: (1) 0W suitable temperature: -35°C (polar regions). (2) 5W suitable temperature: -30°C (northeast and northwest regions). (3) 10W suitable temperature: -25°C (north-central and southwest regions). (4) 15W suitable temperature: -20°C (north-central and southwest regions). (5) 20W suitable temperature: -15°C (areas south of the Yellow River and north of the Yangtze River). (6) 25W suitable temperature: -10°C (subtropical regions).

Why is the fuel consumption of Emgrand GL so high?

The reasons for the high fuel consumption of Emgrand GL are as follows: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits: Carbon deposits usually form on the fuel injectors, spark plugs, throttle valve, and combustion chamber. When carbon deposits accumulate to a certain extent, issues such as difficulty in ignition, stalling during neutral coasting or gear shifting, weak acceleration, and unstable idle speed (fluctuating high and low) will occur. 2. Use of low-quality fuel: Since low-quality fuel contains more impurities and cannot be fully burned, most of the gasoline is expelled from the vehicle. At the same time, a layer of white or reddish-brown substance forms on the surface of the oxygen sensor, leading to misjudgment of exhaust oxygen content measurement and transmission of incorrect data, ultimately resulting in poor control of the fuel injection ratio. 3. Excessive vehicle load: There are too many miscellaneous items in the vehicle. Some car owners prefer to place unnecessary items in the vehicle, which increases the weight. Some owners also like to fill up the fuel tank, which also adds to the vehicle's weight. The greater the vehicle load, the greater the pressure of the tires on the ground, and the greater the tire friction. 4. Use of high-power electrical equipment in the vehicle: Especially during idling, due to the low engine speed, the electricity generated by the alternator is insufficient. When high-power electrical equipment (such as air conditioning cooling or high-power audio systems) is used in the vehicle, it increases the burden on the engine and battery. Operating the vehicle under high load conditions will also lead to increased fuel consumption.

What is a Dual-Clutch Transmission?

Dual-clutch refers to a dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Simply put, it means two sets of clutches work simultaneously—one manages the odd-numbered gears, while the other controls the even-numbered gears. Below are some key points about dual-clutch transmissions: 1. The dual-clutch transmission originated from motorsports but did not become widespread due to durability and other issues. 2. The advantages of dual-clutch transmissions are evident, such as high transmission efficiency, fast gear shifting, low production costs, compact size, and reduced fuel consumption. 3. Dual-clutch transmissions also have drawbacks, including low-speed jerking and relatively poorer reliability.

Is Car Heat Insulation Film Effective?

Car heat insulation film does have certain effects. Here is the relevant information: 1. Good heat insulation: In the solar spectrum, the main source of heat is infrared rays. High-quality heat insulation films can effectively reflect infrared rays, thereby reducing the temperature inside the car, alleviating the burden on the air conditioning system, and saving fuel. 2. Strong UV blocking capability: Ultraviolet rays not only harm human skin but also accelerate the aging of interior decorations. Premium car films provide sufficient UV isolation. 3. Good explosion-proof performance: This is another reason why car films are also known as safety films. When glass with heat insulation film breaks, the fragments will adhere to the film and not fly out to cause injury.

What are the common car faults?

There are several common faults in cars: 1. Burning oil: Feel the exhaust pipe with your hand, and you may find black and wet oil sludge accumulation, and smell an oil odor. In the absence of oil leakage, the oil level is severely low. The car's exhaust pipe emits blue smoke. 2. Vehicle shaking: It could be due to chassis issues, such as loose structures in the front and rear suspension, steering, or transmission. It might also be tire-related problems, such as significant differences in tire pressure among the four tires or issues with tire dynamic balance. Additionally, problems in any part of the ignition system, intake system, or fuel system can lead to car shaking.

What is the Principle of a Voltage Regulator?

Voltage regulator actually refers to an autotransformer. Its working principle is as follows: keeping the input voltage unchanged, then extracting a portion of the voltage from the input coil as the output. When the number of coil turns changes due to the movement of the sliding arm on the input coil, the output voltage also changes accordingly, thereby achieving the purpose of regulating the output. Here are some precautions when using a voltage regulator: 1. The common terminal of the high-voltage device must be the neutral wire, otherwise it may easily cause electric shock accidents; 2. The regulator does not provide electrical isolation, so it must be used with caution, and professional knowledge is essential.

What to Do If a Cigarette Burns the Car Roof?

Here are some methods to repair a car roof burned by a cigarette: 1. Replace the entire fabric interior of the roof. This method is not recommended as it is too expensive and requires going to a 4S shop or a professional auto repair and beauty shop for a professional technician to operate. 2. Buy two roof clips online to cover the burned area. 3. Paste a favorite pattern to cover the burned area. 4. Apply a band-aid of the same color to cover the burned area. 5. Purchase a touch-up pen of the same color as the car roof for repair. If using the third and fourth methods, first cut off the burned area with scissors, then clean it with a special car interior cleaner, preferably with a small toothbrush, limited to the blackened area. Finally, paste the covering.
