Fully synthetic oil has a shelf life of 10,000 kilometers or 1 year in the engine. Strictly speaking, fully synthetic oil refers to high-quality oil products that are 100% made from PAO or artificially synthesized esters, usually labeled with the word "synthetic" on the oil container. However, in simpler terms, oils blended with Group IV and Group V base oils without the addition of mineral oil can be referred to as fully synthetic oil. Fully synthetic oil is suitable for the following types of vehicles: 1. Vehicles with engine turbocharging technology: When the turbocharging component starts working, the engine torque increases exponentially. At this time, the oil film covering the engine crankshaft has to withstand several times more shear force than before, and high-quality fully synthetic oil can fully meet the requirements of the oil film. 2. SUVs and large-displacement cars: The common feature of these vehicles is that their weight is much greater than that of ordinary small cars, and the engine output power is very high, resulting in higher working temperatures for both the engine and the oil.

How to resolve the P209700 fault code in Lavida?

Check the engine ignition coil and spark plugs. Inspect the working performance of related sensors, such as the throttle position sensor, air flow meter, and intake manifold pressure sensor. Check the contamination level of the air filter. If it is clogged, it may cause a rich mixture condition, so clean or replace it if necessary. Check for any fuel injector leakage and the working performance of the fuel pressure regulator. Visit a professional 4S shop to inspect the related controllers.

How to Solve High Transmission Oil Temperature?

Solutions for high transmission oil temperature: 1. If the transmission oil temperature warning appears while driving, immediately stop the vehicle. Wait for the temperature to return to normal and then visit a 4S shop or professional auto repair shop to resolve the issue as soon as possible. 2. If this issue did not occur before changing the transmission oil but appears after the change, it is likely due to problems with the newly replaced transmission oil. Simply replace the transmission oil again. High transmission oil temperature can degrade the performance of the oil, increase friction and wear in the transmission, leading to noise. Additionally, sludge may form inside the transmission, causing jerking and impact during operation.

What to Do When a Tricycle Battery Gets Wet?

Do not charge the electric vehicle battery immediately after it gets wet by rain. Be sure to place the vehicle in a ventilated area to dry before charging. It can easily cause the motor to reverse. After the electric vehicle is severely soaked, the owner should remove the controller, wipe off the accumulated water, dry it with a hair dryer, and then reinstall it. After riding the electric vehicle through water, if the water level exceeds the mid-axle, water may enter the interior of the motor, and it is necessary to consider draining the water from the motor.

What is the accident damage assessment process?

The traffic police determine the accident liability, and the vehicles and items involved in the traffic accident are uniformly kept by the traffic police department.
