Engine oil SP represents the quality grade of engine oil. The quality level, the difference between engine oil SN and SP lies in the thickness or thinness (phosphorus content) of the oil at a certain temperature, with SN oil having relatively lower phosphorus content. Moreover, comparing the viscosity of SN and SP oils, SP has a slightly higher viscosity value, indicating that SP's oil film is stronger than SN's, providing better protective performance. Below is more detailed information: 1. SG, SJ, SL, SM, and the subsequent SP are all grades of gasoline engine oil, with SP being the highest grade currently available for gasoline engine oil. The higher the grade of the engine oil, the better its various technical indicators, which can significantly extend the engine's lifespan, prolong oil change intervals and maintenance cycles, and reduce vehicle maintenance costs. 2. SM engine oil can meet daily usage needs, while M-grade oil offers better oxidation resistance, deposit control capabilities, and superior anti-wear protection, ensuring fuel economy and long-lasting performance. 3. If you frequently drive in congested urban environments, you may opt for higher-grade engine oil, which is relatively more environmentally friendly and economical. Choose based on your specific travel needs and avoid blindly pursuing higher-grade oil to prevent excessive wear and tear on the engine due to prolonged intensive operation.

What is the appropriate ground clearance for a sedan?

A ground clearance between 110mm and 130mm is suitable for sedans. For cars, a ground clearance exceeding 130mm generally offers better passability. Models equipped with air suspension can automatically adjust the ground clearance, effectively meeting the dual needs of passability and high-speed stability. The value of ground clearance is subject to certain limitations, as it is related to the vehicle's functionality and aerodynamics. Arbitrarily increasing or decreasing the minimum ground clearance without considering the vehicle type can adversely affect the car's performance and disrupt the overall aesthetic harmony. The ground clearance of a car is not a static value; it depends on the load condition. Therefore, determining the appropriate ground clearance also requires considering the variations in load, and the maximum load change should be taken into account when setting the ground clearance.

Do small cars have fatigue driving?

Yes. Small cars have regulations on fatigue driving, and driving continuously for 4 hours is considered fatigue driving. The traffic safety law stipulates: Driving a motor vehicle continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or stopping to rest for less than 20 minutes. Manifestations of fatigue driving: Fatigue driving manifests as the driver's physiological and psychological functions becoming imbalanced after prolonged continuous driving, resulting in an objective decline in driving skills. Continuing to drive while fatigued can lead to drowsiness, weakness in limbs, lack of concentration, reduced judgment, and even mental haziness or momentary memory loss, causing delayed or premature actions, pauses in operation, or improper correction times, all of which are unsafe factors that can easily lead to road traffic accidents. Therefore, driving while fatigued is strictly prohibited.
