Northern all-season engine oil generally adopts the 10W40 specification, as most automotive lubricants nowadays are designed for year-round use. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, performs multiple functions including lubrication, wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing against leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, as well as shock absorption - earning it the nickname "automotive blood". Oil specifications are categorized into summer, winter, and all-season types. Winter-grade oils are labeled 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, and 25W, where "W" stands for Winter. A lower number preceding the W indicates lower viscosity at cold temperatures, better low-temperature fluidity, and suitability for colder minimum temperatures.

What happens if you forget to engage the handbrake after parking?

If you forget to engage the handbrake when parking on a flat road, there is no significant impact as long as you shift the gear into neutral or park. However, if you forget to engage the handbrake when parking on a slope, the vehicle may roll away. Additional information: 1. The purpose of the handbrake is to provide braking when parking on flat or inclined surfaces, preventing the vehicle from moving automatically when unattended, thereby avoiding traffic accidents. 2. When stuck in traffic on a slope, always remember to engage the handbrake. During daily driving, it is advisable to maintain a certain distance from other vehicles. If the vehicle starts to roll backward, immediate corrective measures such as stepping on the foot brake and engaging the handbrake should be taken. Additionally, during prolonged parking, remain vigilant and always remember to engage the handbrake. This not only allows your foot to rest but also eliminates the worry of accidentally releasing the foot brake due to distraction, which could lead to the vehicle rolling away.

Is a Tiptronic Transmission the Same as an AT Transmission?

A Tiptronic transmission is not the same as an AT transmission. A Tiptronic transmission combines manual and automatic functions, simulating a manual mode that operates similarly to an AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) when in manual mode, whereas an AT transmission is purely automatic. Below are further details on AT transmissions versus Tiptronic transmissions: 1. AT stands for Automatic Transmission, which translates to hydraulic automatic transmission in Chinese. Hydraulic automatic transmissions achieve shifting through a combination of hydraulic drive and planetary gears, typically consisting of components such as a torque converter, planetary gear mechanism, shift actuators, shift control system, and shift operation mechanism. 2. A Tiptronic transmission is a gear-shifting device that integrates both manual and automatic functions, allowing drivers to freely adjust gears and engine speed based on their preferences.

How to Deal with Windshield Glare?

Here are solutions to reduce glare: 1. Replace the front windshield film with one that has higher light transmittance. According to national standards, the visible light transmittance of films for the front windshield and other areas within the driver's line of sight must be ≥70%. Mirror-reflective films are prohibited on all car windows. Films with low transmittance tend to cause more glare. When purchasing, check the labeled transmittance and reflectivity. 2. Purchase an anti-glare dashboard mat online and place it on the dashboard to minimize reflections. However, this solution has pros and cons, and whether to use it depends on personal preference. Advantages of anti-glare dashboard mats: 1. They reduce dashboard reflections by absorbing sunlight instead of reflecting it. 2. They prevent dust accumulation on the dashboard, making cleaning easier. 3. They protect the dashboard from sun exposure, reducing the risk of cracks and aging. 4. They are affordable and effective.

What is the flashing red light after locking the car?

Locking the car after the red light is the anti-theft light, usually located at the lower part of the front windshield, at the intersection with the A-pillar. Generally, when the owner presses the lock button on the smart key, the car's anti-theft system is activated, and then the anti-theft light will flash. The anti-theft light is not only red; some models have blue lights. The power consumption of the engine anti-theft light is very minimal, almost negligible, so there is no need to worry about battery drain. The engine anti-theft technology works by shutting down or deactivating all systems in the car before unlocking. Even if someone forcibly starts the starter motor in the engine, the EFI system will not inject fuel, and the ignition system will not work, making it impossible to steal the vehicle.

What is the maximum speed limit for non-motor vehicles?

Non-motor vehicles must not exceed a speed of 15 kilometers per hour. Additional information: 1. Non-motor vehicles: Non-motor vehicles refer to vehicles that are driven by human or animal power and operate on roads, as well as vehicles with power devices but designed with maximum speeds, empty vehicle weights, and dimensions that comply with relevant national standards, such as motorized wheelchairs for the disabled. This includes trailers, freight handcarts, and animal-drawn vehicles. 2. Traffic regulations: Adhere to safety regulations and drive in designated lanes. When riding a bicycle or tricycle and needing to cross a motor vehicle lane, the rider should dismount and push the vehicle. If there is a crosswalk or pedestrian crossing facility, it should be used; if there is no crosswalk, no pedestrian crossing facility, or it is inconvenient to use such facilities, proceed straight after ensuring safety. Non-motor vehicles that cannot travel in their designated lane due to obstruction may use the adjacent motor vehicle lane in the affected section and must return to the non-motor vehicle lane promptly after passing the obstructed area. Motor vehicles encountering such situations should slow down and yield.
