Outlander uses 5W30 engine oil. For oil changes, mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil can be used, or full synthetic oil with 30 viscosity is suitable. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperature conditions. Taking 5W-30 as an example, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity - 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, resulting in smoother cold starts for the vehicle. The latter number represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C - higher values indicate better ability to maintain viscosity at high temperatures, which can be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The oil change procedure for Outlander is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop and allow the oil to drain back to the oil pan; Loosen the drain plug with a wrench and collect the old oil in a container until no more oil flows out; Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to drain oil from the main oil passages; Remove the oil filter with a special wrench; Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add new oil through the valve cover filler port - typically about three-quarters of a standard oil container; Run the engine for 5 minutes and check for leaks around the drain plug and oil filter, repairing if necessary; After stopping the engine, pull out the dipstick to verify the oil level is within the standard range.

What to Do If All 12 Points Are Deducted?

If all 12 points are deducted, you need to go to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where your motor vehicle driver's license was issued or where the driver's violation occurred. There, you will undergo a 7-day training on road traffic safety regulations and related knowledge, with 8 hours of study each day. After completing the 7-day training, you must retake the Subject 1 exam, which covers the same content as for new driver's license applicants. Upon passing the Subject 1 exam, your points will be reset to zero, and your motor vehicle driver's license will be returned. If your points exceed 12 but are less than 24 within a scoring cycle, you only need to attend the regulation training and exam. However, if your violation points reach 24 or more within a scoring cycle, in addition to the Subject 1 exam and training, you must also retake the Subject 3 exam and training. Only after passing all these can you regain your driver's license.
