A tire pressure gauge needs to be connected to the tire valve stem to check the car's tire pressure. Below are specific instructions for adjusting car tire pressure: 1. Rough roads: On roads with significant bumps, it is appropriate to reduce the tire pressure by 0.1-0.2bar below the standard tire pressure. For long-distance high-speed driving, the tire pressure should not be too low; it is advisable to increase the tire pressure by about 0.2bar above the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. 2. New and old tires: For new tires, the pressure can be increased by about 0.2bar above the standard tire pressure. For old tires, it is appropriate to reduce the tire pressure according to the standard, and if the wear is severe, adjust to the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. 3. Summer and winter: In winter, it is advisable to increase the tire pressure by about 0.2bar above the standard. In summer, follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. If the car is parked outdoors in summer, the pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures.

How many liters of engine oil should be added to a Focus 1.8?

The Focus 1.8L model requires no more than 4.5 liters of engine oil. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Function: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, with a density of approximately 0.91*10³ (kg/m³), serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is often referred to as the "lifeblood" of a car. 2. Classification: Engine oils on the market can be divided into mineral oils and synthetic oils based on their base oil. Synthetic oils are further categorized into full synthetic and semi-synthetic. Lubricant base oils are mainly classified into mineral base oils and synthetic base oils. Mineral base oils are widely used and account for a large proportion (about 95% or more), but certain applications require products formulated with synthetic base oils.

What car does Zhang Chi drive in Pegasus?

In Pegasus, Zhang Chi drives a modified Polo, which has been converted into a professional-level racing car. The original Polo is a hatchback produced by SAIC Volkswagen. Here are more details: 1. Powertrain: The Polo offers a choice between a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4L turbocharged engine. The 1.5L version delivers a maximum horsepower of 113 hp, a maximum power of 83 kW, and a maximum torque of 145 N·m. The 1.4L version produces a maximum horsepower of 150 hp, a maximum power of 110 kW, and a maximum torque of 250 N·m. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, and 7-speed dual-clutch. 2. Suspension: The Polo features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. For braking, it uses ventilated discs at the front and solid discs at the rear. Tire size options include 215/45R15 and 185/65R14.

What is the fuel consumption of the Tanyue 330 2WD?

The comprehensive road test fuel consumption of the Tanyue 330 2WD is 8.76L/100KM. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Pay attention to tire selection: Ensure correct tire pressure. The pressure should not be too high or too low, as both can increase fuel consumption. Regularly check tire pressure to avoid affecting driving fuel consumption. Switch to fuel-efficient tires. Some brands of tires can reduce partial resistance, helping you save a certain amount of gasoline. Just like the advertising slogan says, if you want to save energy, tires can help. 2. Do not use the wrong engine oil: It is best to refer to the original ACEA or IL-SAC grade of the engine oil and choose the optimal viscosity. Using the wrong engine oil will not only fail to provide good protection for the engine but may also increase fuel consumption.

What kind of engine oil should be used for a 15-year-old car?

For a 15-year-old car, the engine components are severely worn, and the gaps are relatively large. It is recommended to use engine oil with a higher viscosity grade, which can form a thicker oil film between the gaps of various components. 10W-50 engine oil is recommended. Information about engine oil: 1. Composition of engine oil: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining the basic properties of the lubricating oil. Additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance and provide certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil. 2. Classification of engine oil by viscosity: 10W-40 is its SAE standard viscosity value. This viscosity value first indicates that this oil is multi-grade oil. W stands for WINTER, and the number before W represents the flow performance at low temperatures. The smaller the number, the better the starting performance at low temperatures. The number after W represents the stability of the oil at high temperatures (i.e., the possibility of thinning). The larger the number, the better the stability of the oil at high temperatures.

Are China 3 Passenger Cars Subject to Traffic Restrictions?

China 3 passenger cars are not subject to traffic restrictions. Below are specific details regarding China 3 vehicles: 1. Relevant Policies: China 3 vehicles that fail to meet emission standards must undergo rectification and face penalties. Those that still fail to meet emission standards after relevant technical modifications will be forcibly scrapped. Meanwhile, no mandatory scrapping period will be set for private passenger vehicles. Instead, private passenger vehicles will be 'guided to scrap' after reaching 600,000 kilometers. Additionally, the mandatory scrapping period for light and heavy trucks is 10 years, but this can be extended up to 5 years, meaning the maximum mandatory scrapping period for China 3 trucks is 15 years. 2. Relevant Subsidies: For China 3 gasoline vehicles phased out before the end of 2020, the subsidy for scrapping passenger vehicles ranges from 4,000 to 22,000 yuan per vehicle, while the subsidy for transferring ownership ranges from 2,000 to 11,000 yuan per vehicle. Among these, the maximum subsidy for small passenger vehicles can reach 10,000 yuan, encouraging vehicle owners to phase out their China 3 gasoline vehicles as early as possible.
