The suitable oil model for Citroen C5 is 5W-30, but 5W-40 is also applicable. These two oil models, 5W-30 and 5W-40, have the same low-temperature fluidity but differ in high-temperature performance. The 5W-40 offers better high-temperature protection and sealing performance. However, due to its higher viscosity, it increases engine running resistance and fuel consumption. Additional information: 1. Owners can choose based on their needs and also consider factors such as driving environment and habits. If the owner drives aggressively, frequently in congested areas, or the vehicle is older, using the higher viscosity 5W-40 oil may be considered for better engine protection. 2. When selecting an oil brand, if longevity is a priority, Mobil oil is recommended; for cleaning performance, Shell oil is suggested; for strong oil film toughness, Castrol is advocated. For example, turbocharged engines, which are prone to carbon buildup at high speeds, may benefit from Shell oil's strong cleaning capabilities.

Is It Normal for a Motorcycle Engine to Get Very Hot?

It is not normal for a motorcycle engine to get very hot. Below are the reasons that may cause the engine to overheat: 1. A new or recently overhauled engine operating at high speed and power during the break-in period: During the break-in period, running the engine at high speeds or under heavy loads will inevitably subject the engine components to excessive stress, increase wear, and cause poor heat dissipation. Additionally, the engine oil may oxidize and degrade due to high temperatures. Early degradation of the oil can further impair its lubrication and wear-reducing functions, and in severe cases, the oil may turn into an asphalt-like substance. 2. Using engine oil with an excessively low grade or high viscosity: If the viscosity grade of the oil is too low, the oil film will be thinner, reducing its buffering effect on engine components and diminishing its wear-reducing properties. This can lead to increased wear and higher engine operating temperatures. Conversely, if the oil viscosity is too high, its flowability will be poor, resulting in less heat being carried away, which can also cause the engine's operating temperature to rise.

Can Car License Plates Be Leased?

Car license plates cannot be leased, as leasing license plates itself is illegal. According to the "Motor Vehicle Management Regulations," motor vehicles and license plates are designated for specific vehicles and cannot be privately borrowed or misused without legal procedures. Article 38 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations of the People's Republic of China" stipulates: No unit or individual may forge or use forged motor vehicle license plates or motor vehicle driving licenses, nor may they resell, lend, misappropriate, or alter motor vehicle license plates or motor vehicle driving licenses. No one may fraudulently obtain motor vehicle license plates or motor vehicle driving licenses by claiming that the plates or licenses are lost or missing. Except for traffic management departments of public security authorities, no unit or individual may withhold motor vehicle license plates or motor vehicle driving licenses. When leasing a license plate, the lessee typically purchases the vehicle under the name of the license plate lessor. In the event of a traffic accident, the license plate lessor bears joint legal liability. Additionally, if the vehicle has outstanding debts or is mortgaged, the license plate lessor may also face financial losses.
