0w-20 oil is suitable for Japanese and Korean cars, and a small number of German cars. It is best to check the manufacturer's maintenance manual for specific requirements when using it. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. It is often referred to as the "blood" of a car. Composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing certain new characteristics. Additives are an important part of lubricating oil.

I've been helping friends check engine oil at repair shops for years. Low-viscosity oil like 0W-20 is ideal for new cars that prioritize fuel efficiency and smooth driving, especially small-displacement gasoline-powered vehicles such as Japanese models like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Fit. The 0W part means the engine can start faster on cold winter mornings, reducing startup wear, while the 20 indicates low viscosity at high temperatures, which helps save fuel. However, avoid using it in older cars or large-displacement SUVs, such as some American models, as their designs require higher-viscosity oil to maintain oil pressure—otherwise, it may accelerate engine aging. For daily driving, if the owner's manual specifies 0W-20, I recommend sticking with it and changing it regularly every 5,000 kilometers or so. This can extend engine life and reduce maintenance costs.

What are the most common problems with the Citroen C3-XR?

The most common problems with the Citroen C3-XR are as follows: Steering wheel lock: After parking and getting back in the car, you may find the steering wheel locked and unable to turn, with the key also stuck. Before starting the engine, gently turn the steering wheel with your left hand while turning the key with your right hand, and the steering wheel will automatically unlock. Fogging in headlights: White mist or condensation may appear inside the headlights. This can occur because headlights generate significant heat when illuminated and need to dissipate heat through ventilation holes. Therefore, headlights are not fully sealed systems. If they were fully sealed, the taillights would quickly melt. Reduced engine power: When the air conditioning is turned on, the engine power noticeably weakens, making acceleration feel sluggish. This happens because the air conditioning compressor consumes some of the engine's power, resulting in lower output compared to when the air conditioning is off.
