What is the fuel consumption of the old model Leopard?

The old model Leopard has a fuel consumption of 11.2L per 100 kilometers. The Leopard Black Diamond is equipped with a 4G64S4M naturally aspirated DOHC engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, with a maximum power (kW) of 92, maximum power speed (rpm) of 5500, maximum torque (N·m) of 190, and maximum torque speed (rpm) of 2750. The following are the reasons for high fuel consumption: 1. Improper driving habits: Fuel consumption is closely related to the driver's personal driving habits, specifically manifested in not turning off the engine during long idling or frequent ignition, aggressive acceleration or frequent braking while driving, driving at low gear with high speed or high gear with low speed, etc. All these driving habits greatly 'contribute' to increased fuel consumption. 2. Abnormal tire pressure and tire wear: Low tire pressure increases friction between the tire and the ground, leading to greater resistance and higher fuel consumption. Normal tire pressure is around 2.5bar, which can be appropriately reduced by 0.1bar in summer; of course, tire pressure should not be too high either, it's best to inflate according to the vehicle's standard value. Additionally, if the tires are severely worn, slipping often occurs, which also increases fuel consumption. 3. Fuel quality and carbon deposits: Many car owners do not pay attention to fuel quality. Poor-quality gasoline can increase carbon deposits, and excessive carbon deposits make the intake pipe walls rough, affecting the intake effect and the quality of the air-fuel mixture, leading to a sharp rise in fuel consumption. Therefore, gasoline quality cannot be ignored; so regular maintenance at a 4S shop is a forward-looking investment, not only ensuring the normal performance of the vehicle but also saving unnecessary expenses in the long run.

Older models like the Leopard Black Diamond SUV, as I've learned from over a decade of car experience, are known for their high fuel consumption. Specifically, city driving can reach 12-15L per 100km, while highway driving is around 10-12L, mainly due to the heavy body weighing over two tons and the outdated, inefficient 2.4L engine technology. Many factors affect fuel consumption, such as sudden braking and acceleration which can spike fuel usage by 20%, or underinflated tires and dirty air filters adding an extra 1-2L. Compared to modern SUVs like the Haval H6 which only consumes 8-10L, the old Leopard is indeed fuel-thirsty, but it excels in off-road performance, making it ideal for rural roads. With proper maintenance, such as frequent oil changes and cleaning throttle carbon deposits, you can save a bit on fuel costs.

I drove an old Leopaard Black King Kong for five years, and its fuel consumption left a deep impression on me. In city traffic jams, it could reach 15L per 100km, averaging 13-14L. On weekends when driving on highways, it dropped to 11L. Every time I filled up 50 liters, I couldn't drive 400km before needing to refuel, costing me hundreds more in fuel expenses each month. The car itself was stable and durable, great for mountain roads and climbing slopes, but it was a real gas guzzler, especially in winter when using the heater. Now, I advise people driving such cars to drive gently, avoid sudden turns and stops, and check spark plugs and engine oil condition during maintenance to extend its lifespan and save some fuel. When selling it second-hand, it's cheap mainly because no one loves a gas guzzler.

From a cost-saving perspective, the older Leopard model's higher fuel consumption strains the wallet. With an average of 13L per 100km in city driving and gas priced at 8 yuan per liter, it costs over 1 yuan per kilometer—50% more than sedans. While it performs better on long trips, daily commuting expenses are significant. I've found that maintenance like using premium engine oil and adjusting tire pressure to standard can reduce consumption to around 12L, saving some costs. Driving habits matter too: avoiding short trips that waste fuel during warm-up and maintaining a steady 80km/h on highways is most economical. Buying a used older Leopard can be cost-effective, but budget extra for fuel; those with limited budgets should consider modern fuel-efficient vehicles instead.

Should the oil filter be replaced every time when changing engine oil?

When changing engine oil, the oil filter should be replaced every time. If only the engine oil is replaced without changing the oil filter, the new oil will flow into the old filter, causing the new oil to mix with the old oil, which affects the lubrication performance of the new oil. Information about oil filters is as follows: 1. Oil filters can be classified by structure into replaceable, spin-on, and centrifugal types; by system layout into full-flow and bypass types. The filtration materials used in oil filters include filter paper, felt, metal mesh, and non-woven fabric. 2. The function of the oil filter is to remove harmful impurities from the oil coming from the oil pan, providing clean oil to components such as the crankshaft, connecting rod, camshaft, turbocharger, and piston rings for lubrication, cooling, and cleaning purposes, thereby extending the service life of these components.

How to Know the Manufacturing Date of a Tire?

Tire manufacturing dates are marked on the outer side of the tire. Without needing to turn the tire inside out, you can find an 11-digit alphanumeric code immediately following the letters "DOT" on the tire's sidewall, which represents the tire's identification number or serial number. The last four digits of this code provide information about the production date. The tire production date code format is as follows: the first two digits indicate the week of the year it was manufactured, and the last two digits represent the year. There are 52 weeks in a year, so following this pattern, you can determine the exact production date of the tire. For example, if the last four digits of the DOT code are "4117," it means the tire was produced in the 41st week of 2017.

How many parts is a car divided into?

A car is divided into four parts: 1. Car engine: The engine is the power unit of the car; 2. Car chassis: The chassis serves to support and install the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car. It receives the power from the engine to enable the car to move and ensure normal driving. The chassis consists of four parts: the transmission system, the running system, the steering system, and the braking system; 3. Car body: The body is mounted on the frame of the chassis to accommodate the driver and passengers or to carry cargo. The body of a sedan or bus is generally a unitary structure, while the body of a truck usually consists of a cab and a cargo compartment; 4. Electrical equipment: The electrical equipment is composed of two major parts: the power source and the electrical devices. The power source includes the battery and the generator, while the electrical devices include the engine starting system, the ignition system of the gasoline engine, and other electrical devices.

The fuel consumption of the Subaru Outback is 9.1 liters per 100 kilometers. Below is an introduction to the Subaru Outback: 1. The Subaru Outback's wagon design features a larger trunk compared to sedans. The use of anti-scratch materials for the front and rear bumpers, side skirts, etc., highlights its inherent crossover style and mild off-road capability, resulting in superior driving and handling performance. 2. Although it is positioned as a midsize SUV with a relatively high ground clearance, its horizontally opposed engine and lower overall height design make it one of the best in its class in terms of driving performance. 3. Subaru includes knee airbags, front side airbags, and front/rear curtain airbags as standard, demonstrating its emphasis on driving safety. Additionally, standard features such as leather seats, a rearview camera, and heated front and rear seats reflect its strong alignment with the demands of Chinese consumers.
