The Volkswagen Golf 7 uses engine oil with a specification of 5W-40. Under normal circumstances, the oil change volume is less than 5 liters. It is essential to choose a high-quality oil brand product to avoid purchasing inferior oil, which could affect the engine. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Engine oil has a significant impact on the normal performance and lifespan of the engine, so car owners should strictly follow the vehicle's user manual to select the same series, grade, and viscosity of oil. 2. The oil specified in the car manual is determined based on the engine's performance and the temperature of the sales region, providing certain guidance for oil selection. 3. If the owner does not use the oil specification stated in the manual, they may not be able to claim warranty for engine damage during the warranty period. During the oil addition process, the oil level should be kept between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick; otherwise, excessive oil can lead to carbon buildup.

What Could Be the Reason for No Response from Motorcycle Electronic Ignition?

Possible reasons for no response from motorcycle electronic ignition include: insufficient battery power; excessive spark plug gap or carbon buildup; faulty high-voltage cap connected to the spark plug; damaged starter fuse. Below are the inspection methods: 1. Method One: Check whether the cylinder pressure is normal. If there is no compression ratio in the cylinder, it might be due to bent valves that fail to seal properly, resulting in no cylinder pressure and failure to start. If the cylinder pressure is normal, check if the engine rotates tightly. If it does, there could be numerous potential issues, such as cylinder sticking, damaged or detached internal engine components, etc. 2. Method Two: Check if the spark plug receives sufficiently strong high-voltage electricity, whether the valve timing is correct, if there is normal gasoline in the carburetor, if the carburetor is clogged, if there is any air leakage in the intake pipe, and if the air filter and exhaust pipe are blocked.

What is the correct way to use the S gear?

The correct way to use the S gear is to enhance power instantly when going uphill or overtaking. Using it in other situations will increase fuel consumption and wear out the transmission. Below is some relevant information about the S gear: 1. Overview: The S gear is the sports mode of a car ("S" stands for "sport"). Many automatic transmission cars are equipped with an S gear, and some high-end models of A-class cars also feature an S gear design. In S gear sports mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time. This allows the car to move at high RPM in lower gears for an extended period, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. 2. Precautions: Since the S gear only delays upshifting without changing other operational aspects, it inevitably increases the load on the transmission in the short term, accompanied by a rise in temperature, leading to accelerated wear. Therefore, avoid using the S gear for prolonged periods. In terms of fuel consumption, because the fuel injection volume increases at high RPM, the S gear mode consumes significantly more fuel than the normal mode.

How to Find an Ant Nest in Your Car

To locate an ant nest in your car, you can place some food crumbs inside the vehicle to lure the ants out for transportation. By following the trail of ants, you can track down their nest. Here are some methods for removing an ant nest from your car: 1. Use sweet food to attract ants: Ants are particularly fond of sweet foods. If there are ants in your car, you can place some sweet food openly inside to attract and gather them, then remove them in one go (Disadvantage: This may attract more ants and requires frequent and timely handling). 2. Use mothballs: Mothballs have insect-repellent and anti-mold properties. Ants dislike the smell of mothballs, so placing some in areas where ants are active can effectively drive them away (Disadvantage: The odor of mothballs is pungent and unpleasant. Note: Use natural mothballs and keep them out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion). 3. Use alcohol: Ants are afraid of alcohol. Spraying some alcohol in corners and areas where ants are active can help repel them (Disadvantage: Alcohol evaporates quickly. You can dilute it appropriately with water and ensure the car interior is sealed during application).
