The XC60 comes with two tire sizes: 235/60R18 and 235/55R19. In 235/60R18, the first number 235 represents the tire width of 235MM, 60 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%, meaning the section height is 60% of the width, 18 stands for the rim diameter of 18 inches, and the middle letter "R" denotes a radial tire. In 235/55R19, the first number 235 represents the tire width of 235MM, 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, 19 stands for the rim diameter of 19 inches, and the middle letter "R" denotes a radial tire. The XC60's tires feature a dual five-spoke radial wheel design. The rims equipped on this model bear the "XC" insignia. If you wish 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 the jack contacts the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, making sure the jack is positioned under the vehicle and forms a right angle with the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise without fully removing them, just enough to eliminate resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground while 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, then fully remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the wheel hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, and hand-tighten them until all nuts are concealed. The tire replacement is now complete. Besides the model, 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, ZG for steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: Shows the rim size compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard Rim 5.00F".

Speaking of the XC60's tire size, my 2019 model came standard with 235/60 R18, which I'm still using. The 235 refers to the tire width of 235 millimeters, the 60 is the aspect ratio indicating the height is 60% of the width, and R18 means 18-inch wheels. It feels very stable on the highway with minimal bumps, offering good comfort and low noise, making it ideal for daily family use. The sport version or newer models might come with 235/55 R19 for a sportier feel, though slightly bumpier. When replacing tires, always check the label on the door frame or the manual for specifications—don't randomly change sizes, as it can affect speedometer accuracy and fuel consumption, and in severe cases, the ABS might malfunction. Last time I replaced tires at the dealership, they emphasized using the original size to ensure safe driving.

The XC60's tire size is typically 235/60 R18, but it may vary depending on the model configuration. For example, the 2023 high-end version uses 235/55 R19. The 235mm width affects grip and handling—wider tires provide more stability but slightly higher fuel consumption. The 60 aspect ratio represents the height proportion, meaning thicker sidewalls for better shock absorption and a more comfortable ride on city roads. The R18 wheel size offers a balanced combination of durability and economy. From my experience with different sizes, overly large wheels like 20-inch ones have thinner sidewalls and are more prone to damage. Always match the original tire specifications when replacing them, as mismatched sizes can quickly damage the suspension. Sticking to the standard size ensures a safer and more reliable driving experience.

Based on my experience, the original tire size for the XC60 is mostly 235/60 R18. It's essential to refer to the door frame label and replace tires with the same size to avoid issues caused by arbitrary changes, such as speed discrepancies and unstable handling. Regular checks are recommended.

What is the oil specification in the Octavia maintenance manual?

The oil specification in the Octavia maintenance manual is 5W-40, but both 5W-40 and 5W-30 can be used. For later maintenance oil changes, you can choose brands such as Mobil, Shell, Castrol, or Total. The viscosity of the oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity—5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, ensuring smoother cold starts for the car. The second number represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C. A higher value means the oil can maintain its viscosity index better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as providing better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the oil in the Octavia is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine for about 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new oil through the engine valve cover filler port, typically filling about three-quarters of the bottle; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If any leaks are found, perform repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.

Where can I get my car windshield repaired?

Minor cracks can usually be repaired, but severe damage requires complete windshield replacement. You can visit car 4S shops, auto repair shops, or specialized glass stores for windshield replacement. There are two types of automotive glass: laminated glass and tempered glass. When laminated glass is damaged, the PVB film between the two glass layers prevents complete shattering. Even under severe impact, the glass won't fall apart completely, maintaining relative integrity without dangerous flying fragments. This makes laminated glass ideal for windshields. (After minor collisions, only small cracks appear, making repairs possible.) Tempered glass, when damaged, quickly fractures into countless small pieces, making the entire panel prone to shattering. This design facilitates passenger escape during emergencies, which is why it's commonly used for side windows and rear windshields. Windshield replacement details: As laminated glass, minor impacts may only damage the surface layer, allowing for crack repairs. However, severe impacts damaging the inner layer or causing extensive cracks/breaks require immediate replacement. The replacement process typically takes about four hours: removing the original glass (1-2 hours), cleaning old adhesive, applying new adhesive, installing the new glass, and letting it cure for approximately one hour until the adhesive hardens.

Can the wheel hub color be changed?

Can the wheel hub color be changed? According to relevant traffic management regulations, there are no explicit rules regarding the color of wheel hubs, and the color of wheel hubs is not included in the 30% color change limit for the entire vehicle. Changing the wheel hub color will not affect road legality or annual inspections. The wheel hub is the rotating part of the tire's inner rim connected by pillars to the wheel core, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. Methods for maintaining wheel hubs include: 1. When the vehicle is in a humid area, the wheel hubs should be cleaned frequently to prevent salt corrosion on the aluminum surface; 2. If necessary, after thorough cleaning, wax can be applied to the wheel hubs to maintain their shine; 3. When the wheel hubs are at a high temperature, allow them to cool naturally before cleaning. Do not use cold water for cleaning, as it can damage the aluminum wheel hub, cause brake disc deformation affecting braking performance, and using cleaning agents on the wheel hubs can lead to chemical reactions on the surface, resulting in loss of shine.
