What are the tire specifications for the 8th-generation Civic?

The 8th-generation Civic has two tire specifications: 215/55R16 and 215/50R17. For 215/55R16, the first number 215 indicates the tire width is 215MM. The number 55 represents the aspect ratio of the tire section, meaning the section height is 55% of the width. The number 16 denotes the rim diameter in inches, and the letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. For 215/50R17, the first number 215 indicates the tire width is 215MM. The number 50 represents the aspect ratio of the tire section, meaning the section height is 50% of the width. The number 17 denotes the rim diameter in inches, and the letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. The 8th-generation Civic uses Yokohama tires with the ADVAN-DB-decibel tread pattern, and the spare tire is non-full-size. If you want to replace the tires yourself, follow these steps: Retrieve the spare tire and jack. Place the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring it contacts the metal part of the frame. Raise the jack until it supports the car. The jack should be positioned under the vehicle, and ensure it is perpendicular to the ground. Remove the hubcap and loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not fully remove the nuts—just enough to eliminate resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground when first loosening the nuts ensures the nuts turn, not the tire. Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose. Repeat this step for all lug nuts and then remove them completely. Place the new tire on the wheel hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts. Install the lug nuts and tighten them by hand until all nuts are snug. The tire replacement is now complete. In addition to the specifications, tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord tires. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed the tire can sustain under specified conditions with a given load. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160 km/h; H: 210 km/h; V: 240 km/h; W: 270 km/h; Y: 300 km/h. Rim specification: Indicates the rim size compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard Rim 5.02F."

What kind of engine oil should be used for Nissan cars?

Nissan cars are recommended to use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) engine oil, which is formulated according to the vehicle's performance requirements. Simply follow the maintenance manual provided by the manufacturer for regular oil changes. Alternatively, you may consider upgrading to a higher-quality synthetic engine oil for better lubrication and protection of the engine. Below are some precautions for changing engine oil: 1. Drain the oil when it's hot for better fluidity. 2. Fill up to the mark on the dipstick. 3. Choose the oil change interval based on the vehicle's condition, road conditions, oil quality, and driving habits. 4. Select the oil grade according to the driving environment, driving frequency, and the requirements of the vehicle's engine itself—it's better to choose a higher grade than a lower one.

When installing the new fuel filter, be sure to apply some engine oil inside the clip and at the fuel filter connection point, then insert it while rotating. Related information is as follows: 1. The replacement interval for the Volkswagen Bora fuel filter is generally the same for all vehicles, approximately every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. Additionally, if you notice poor fuel flow, replacing the fuel filter can help. 2. Generally, turbocharged models require replacement every 20,000 kilometers, while naturally aspirated models need replacement around 30,000 kilometers. If the vehicle is driven in areas with heavy dust, the replacement interval should be appropriately shortened.
