The fuel tank capacity of a BMW 5 Series when full is 68 liters. When selecting engine oil, it should be chosen based on the engine's characteristics. Engine oil plays roles such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. Engine oil is the lifeblood of a car; using inferior oil can degrade engine performance and prevent proper lubrication. The BMW 5 Series is a mid-to-large luxury sedan under the BMW brand, with dimensions of 4998mm in length, 1901mm in width, and 1559mm in height. The vehicle is equipped with a low-power version of a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a high-power version of a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, paired with an 8AT transmission. It also features configurations such as automatic parking, auto hold, tire pressure monitoring, keyless entry, seat heating, hill start assist, cruise control, automatic headlights, and auto start-stop, enhancing the car's handling and comfort.

I've driven several BMW 5 Series models before, and each time I filled up the tank, it took about 65 liters, depending on the specific year and model. For example, newer models might take 63 liters, while older ones could be around 68 liters. I usually keep the fuel level within the full tank range to avoid overfilling and potential leaks. The size of the fuel tank directly affects the driving range; with 65 liters, I can cover 600 to 700 kilometers on the highway, enough to drive from Beijing to Shandong without stopping. Remember to choose high-quality gas stations to prevent impurities from clogging the fuel injectors. Regular maintenance should also include checking the fuel tank cap and pipes to prevent aging issues. This is especially important for long-distance trips—don't compromise safety by overlooking small details.

What's the reason for a car not starting or responding?

The reasons for a car not starting are as follows: 1. Improper fuel quality, lack of antifreeze, excessive carbon buildup, excluding improper human operation. 2. Starter motor failure, fuel pump supply issues, injector problems, sensor malfunctions, etc. These more complex situations require professional handling. Below are some vehicle usage precautions: 1. Fuel quality issues: During repairs, it was found that the fuel tank contained water and sludge. Using such fuel will inevitably damage the car. Always refuel at reputable gas stations, and when traveling, you can use a gauze filter over the fuel nozzle to filter out impurities. 2. Lack of antifreeze: Using water or substandard antifreeze in extremely cold winter conditions can cause the entire cooling system to freeze, potentially cracking the engine block, rendering the water pump inoperable, preventing the car from starting, and damaging other engine components. 3. Excessive carbon buildup in the vehicle can also prevent it from starting. Regular use of the car helps reduce carbon buildup.

How to Control the Throttle to Maintain a Fixed Speed?

You can control the vehicle's speed by adjusting the pressure applied to the throttle pedal. The car's throttle regulates the engine's throttle valve opening, which in turn controls the engine's air intake and fuel injection, thereby managing the engine's RPM. Below is some extended information about the throttle: 1. The throttle is essentially an air valve on the engine, a device that controls the airflow. 2. For proper combustion, the engine requires an appropriate air-fuel ratio, typically 14.7:1, meaning 14.7 liters of air to 1 liter of fuel. This ratio ensures optimal engine combustion. 3. The so-called throttle controls the airflow, and once the air volume is determined, the required fuel amount is calculated automatically by the car's internal computer. 4. When you press the throttle, the airflow increases, leading to more fuel injection and greater combustion force, which results in higher engine RPM. Conversely, releasing the throttle reduces the RPM.

How to Check Vehicles Under Your Name?

To inquire about vehicles registered under your name, you need to personally visit the vehicle management office with your ID card and a copy. The vehicle management office is primarily responsible for handling vehicle registration, modification, transfer, mortgage, and cancellation, as well as applications for driver's licenses, replacements, renewals, inspections, and other related services for vehicles and drivers. Here is more information on checking vehicle registration status: 1. Currently, national vehicle registration management is quite strict. Only specific authorities and individuals can conduct inquiries through strictly defined procedures. The vehicle registration information network of the transportation department is only open internally and is not publicly accessible online. 2. Law enforcement agencies such as inspection and judicial departments can inquire about vehicle information by presenting a unit introduction letter (detailing the inquiry requirements, the name of the handling person, work ID number, etc.), along with the original and a copy of the handling person's work ID.

How Much 92 Gasoline Should Remain Before Switching to 95?

To extend the engine's service life, it is recommended to switch to 95 gasoline after the 92 gasoline is completely used up. The relevant details about 92 and 95 gasoline are as follows: 1. Short-term mixing is acceptable: Theoretically, mixing different grades of gasoline for a short period will not cause significant harm to the car. However, since the stability of 92 and 95 gasoline differs, extensive mixing may lead to stability issues. Long-term mixing of different gasoline grades can affect the lifespan of the car's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs. 95 gasoline produces less knocking than 92 gasoline, making the engine quieter. However, since the compression ratio of engines designed for 92 gasoline is not high enough to fully utilize the characteristics of 95 gasoline, incomplete compression and combustion may occur, leading to sluggish acceleration during driving. 2. Which one is suitable: Some vehicles only require 92 gasoline, but their engines were calibrated during the development phase for 95 or higher-grade gasoline. Therefore, when using 95 gasoline, the characteristics of 95 gasoline can be fully utilized to unlock its potential.

What are the effects of not changing transmission fluid?

Not changing the transmission fluid can have the following effects: 1. It causes the transmission fluid to become thicker, reducing oil pressure and hindering internal heat dissipation, leading to excessively high oil temperatures. This shortens the lifespan of both the transmission and the drivetrain components. 2. Failure to change the transmission fluid may result in weak acceleration when starting the vehicle, and frequent slipping may occur during driving. 3. Prolonged neglect of transmission fluid changes can cause the fluid to degrade and evaporate under high-speed and high-temperature conditions, accelerating component wear and damaging internal transmission parts. Below are the functions of transmission fluid: (1) The primary role of transmission fluid is to keep the shifting system clean and to lubricate the drivetrain, thereby extending its lifespan. (2) Transmission fluid serves to clean, lubricate, cool, and seal the transmission. Due to the specific operating conditions inside the transmission, the quality of the fluid has a limited shelf life. Over time, the fluid's performance deteriorates, accumulating more impurities, which accelerates wear on transmission components, leading to earlier failures or higher failure rates.
