German motor oil brands include Liqui Moly, Ravenol, LIQUI MOLY, Novoil, and Fuchs, among others. Here is some extended information: Function: Motor oil is engine lubricant that plays a crucial role in the engine, including lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, reducing wear, vibration damping, and rust and corrosion prevention. Types of motor oil: Currently, there are three types of engine oil on the market: conventional mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. Generally, motor oil should be replaced every six months or after driving 5,000 kilometers. During vehicle use, only qualified lubricating oil can reduce the wear of engine components, thereby extending the service life, protecting the engine, and ensuring driving safety.

What does odotrip mean on a car?

Odotrip is a function used by vehicles to calculate mileage data. However, the two have different emphases: Odo is used to calculate the total mileage, while trip is used to calculate the mileage for each journey, which can be understood as a short-distance trip, i.e., the mileage traveled each time the vehicle starts. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. The meaning of indicator lights: Generally, the driving status of each vehicle can be reflected through the dashboard, with different indicator lights flashing to represent different vehicle statuses. 2. Common indicator lights: The most common indicator lights include the fuel indicator light, washer fluid indicator light, electronic throttle indicator light, etc. These can reflect the actual condition of the vehicle through the dashboard. For example, when the tire pressure is insufficient, a tire pressure warning light will appear to alert the owner to tire issues. 3. The definition of Odotrip: Odotrip is also a major piece of data on the dashboard, meaning the calculation of the vehicle's mileage. Odo refers to the total mileage data, which cannot be deleted and has been recorded since the first drive. Some 4S shops also use this total mileage as a reference value for maintenance intervals. Trip refers to the individual journey mileage, which can be used to calculate the fuel consumption for each trip.

What is the correct way to use the M gear?

The correct method to use the M gear is as follows: move the gear lever to the left, then up or down, which switches to the M gear. "M+" represents increasing the gear, and "M-" represents decreasing the gear. The M1, M2, M3 on the dashboard represent gears 1, 2, and 3 in manual mode. Below are related introductions: 1. Definition of the M gear: The M gear is the manual mode in automatic transmission vehicles. After engaging the M gear, the driver can manually shift gears to control the gear position, which is equivalent to a manual transmission car. Besides providing the driver with the thrill of "manual-automatic" integration, the M gear also plays a significant role in many special road conditions. 2. Gear positions of the M gear: The number of gear positions in the M gear depends on the number of gears in the automatic transmission. The labeled speed indicates the number of gears, for example, a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission has 7 gear positions. Generally, automatic transmissions have 6, 7, or 8 speeds. When to use the M gear 1. Overtaking: Switch to manual M gear and lower the gear to 1st gear to achieve quick overtaking, which is much faster than pressing the accelerator deeply in D gear. 2. Uphill: Some steep slopes or the most feared underground garages may not lock the car in 1st gear if in D gear, as the computer determines gear shifts based on the vehicle's speed at the time. By locking in 1st or 2nd gear with the M gear, the vehicle will climb much more easily. 3. Downhill: Some people prefer using D gear and braking to go downhill, which is fine for short and gentle slopes. For long and steep slopes, switch to M gear and set it to 1st or 2nd gear, using the engine's braking effect to slow the vehicle and reduce pressure on the brake pads. Prolonged braking in D gear can overheat the brake pads and rims, not only affecting component lifespan but also potentially leading to complete brake failure and safety accidents. 4. Rainy or snowy slippery roads: In D gear mode, the vehicle defaults to starting in 1st gear, which can easily cause wheel spin on slippery roads. Using M gear to shift to 2nd gear reduces torque and effectively minimizes the chance of spinning. 5. Cornering: The traditional method is to shift to D gear, release the accelerator, and accelerate after the turn. Some drivers still struggle with speed control, maintaining high speeds during turns. Switching to M gear in advance and manually downshifting to control speed can effectively avoid this issue. 6. Highway driving: When driving on highways, switching to M gear and shifting to higher gears while maintaining a speed of around 80km/h can improve fuel economy.

What is the penalty for overdue vehicle annual inspection?

Vehicle annual inspection will be penalized as soon as it is overdue, even if it is just one day overdue. If a motor vehicle fails to undergo a safety technical inspection within the prescribed period, the traffic management department of the public security organ will issue a warning or impose a fine, and 3 points will be deducted from the driver's license. More detailed information is as follows: 1. According to Article 47, Paragraph 4 of the "Vehicle Registration Management Measures", if a vehicle fails to undergo a safety technical inspection within the prescribed period, the traffic management department will issue a warning or impose a fine, and the annual inspection can only be conducted after the fine is paid. 2. According to the "Vehicle Registration Regulations" (Order No. 102 of the Ministry of Public Security), the owner of the vehicle can apply for an inspection mark at the vehicle management office of the registration place within 3 months before the expiration of the vehicle inspection validity period. 3. In addition, according to the "Vehicle Compulsory Scrapping Standards Regulations", if a vehicle fails to obtain a valid inspection mark for three consecutive inspection periods after the expiration of the inspection validity period, it will be compulsorily scrapped. The documents required for re-inspection at the inspection station include the original vehicle driving license, the original copy of the valid compulsory traffic accident liability insurance policy for the current year, the valid tax payment or tax exemption certificate for the current year's vehicle and vessel tax, the original identity certificate, etc. (For specific details, please consult the local vehicle management office).

What does 60v20ah mean for an electric scooter?

60v20ah for an electric scooter battery refers to the voltage and capacity of the battery. 60V indicates the battery voltage is 60 volts, and 20Ah represents the battery's electrical capacity. Multiplying these two values gives the total electrical energy. Larger batteries generally provide longer range. Motor power is denoted in watts (W), with higher power indicating greater torque and higher speed. A 60v20ah battery has 50% more total electrical energy compared to a 40v20ah battery. The 20ah specification means the 2-hour rate nominal capacity is 20 ampere-hours, meaning when discharged at 10 amps down to the cutoff voltage of 10.5v, the discharge duration can reach 2 hours.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Tiguan L in liters?

Currently, there are six versions of the Tiguan L available for sale. The 380TSI automatic four-wheel-drive version has a fuel tank capacity of 62.5L, while the other versions have a capacity of 60L. This data is provided by the car manufacturer, and Tiguan L owners can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 380TSI automatic four-wheel-drive version of the Tiguan L has a fuel consumption of 7.7L per 100 kilometers, allowing a full tank to travel 812km. Other versions have a fuel consumption of 6.6L per 100 kilometers, enabling a full tank to travel 909km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. In actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, with additional space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount may exceed the calibrated capacity.
