Emgrand uses SAE10W30 engine oil. When the ambient temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius, SAE5W30 can be used instead. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption and cushioning. The Emgrand is a compact car with body dimensions of 4632mm in length, 1789mm in width, and 1470mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2650mm. In terms of power, the Emgrand is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine that delivers 109 horsepower and a maximum torque of 140 Nm. This engine can output its maximum power at 6000 revolutions per minute.

I've been driving my Emgrand for several years and always use 5W-30 full synthetic oil, which works great. The engine design suits this viscosity perfectly - smooth cold starts in winter and maintains proper thickness even in summer heat for better protection. I recommend choosing premium brand full synthetic oil as it reduces friction wear, allowing oil changes at 10,000 km intervals. By the way, the Emgrand manual recommends API SN grade or higher. I always get mine changed at the 4S shop for hassle-free maintenance. Never compromise with cheap wrong oil to avoid engine carbon buildup. For frequent long-distance driving, adding a detergent additive helps. Remember to regularly check the dipstick to ensure oil level stays between max-min marks, preventing roadside breakdown headaches.

As an Emgrand owner, I often change the engine oil myself and recommend 5W-30 fully synthetic or semi-synthetic oil, which is cost-effective and practical. I usually buy genuine brand oil online, saving about a hundred yuan each time. Semi-synthetic oil works too, but synthetic oil better protects the engine and extends its lifespan. The Emgrand's engine isn't high-end, but with proper maintenance, it can achieve low fuel consumption. I suggest changing the oil every six months or 8,000 kilometers. Don't overlook the oil filter—replace it together for a complete service. I do it in my garage with simple tools, saving on labor costs. If you're a beginner, check the user manual or search for what the 4S shop recommends. Choosing the wrong oil can weaken power and slow acceleration, which isn't worth it.

The Emgrand requires 5W-30 engine oil, with API SN standard being the most stable. Based on numerous observed cases, this viscosity suits most model years' engines, reducing wear and failures. Full synthetic oil offers superior lubrication, ideal for urban stop-and-go driving. Adjust viscosity according to ambient temperatures: 0W-30 works in colder regions. Crucially, never mix different oils and maintain regular servicing to prolong vehicle condition. Check oil level monthly.

What is the wading depth of the Hummer H2?

The maximum wading depth of the Hummer H2 is 1500mm. The wading depth of the Hummer H2 is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the vehicle's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a reference when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Hummer H2 is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth must not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before the vehicle enters the water, the auto start-stop function must be turned off to prevent the vehicle from automatically restarting after stalling in the water, which could cause severe engine damage due to water intake. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of preceding vehicles and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles, follow their tracks, and drive at a low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, and reference points such as the wheels and doors of other vehicles to estimate the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the height of the tires or the engine's air intake, do not enter the water recklessly; choose an alternative route instead.

Which Driving Test Subject is the Road Driving Skills Exam?

Road driving skills examination is part of Subject 2 and Subject 3. The road driving skills test is divided into two sections: on-site road driving assessment and actual road driving assessment. Among them, the on-site road driving assessment belongs to Subject 2, while the actual road driving assessment is part of Subject 3. Below are the detailed descriptions: 1. The on-site road driving assessment includes: driving over a single-plank bridge, starting on a slope, passing through continuous obstacles, curve driving, right-angle turns, parallel parking, speed-limited passage through narrow gates, driving on undulating roads, and driving on low-friction coefficient surfaces. 2. The actual road driving assessment includes: preparing for starting, starting, passing through intersections, obeying traffic signals, driving according to road signs and markings, changing lanes, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, and designated parking while driving a motor vehicle on actual roads. The road driving skills test route should include curves, slopes, intersections, traffic signals, signs, markings, and other traffic facilities.

What to Do When There is Fog on the Outside of the Car Window?

When there is fog on the outside of the car window, you should increase the air conditioning temperature slightly and adjust the vents to avoid blowing directly on the windows. Below are specific solutions for dealing with fog on the outside of car windows: 1. Use specialized defogging products: such as defogging sprays or fog towels. Spray these defogging agents onto the inner surface of the car window and wipe them clean. While removing dirt from the glass, they also form a thin transparent protective film on the glass, which prevents water vapor from condensing into fog. 2. Open windows for convection: Crack open the windows on both sides slightly. This allows air inside the car to circulate, gradually bringing the interior temperature closer to the outside temperature, which will help dissipate the fog. 3. Use the air conditioning system: Increase the air conditioning temperature slightly and adjust the vents to avoid blowing directly on the windows.

How to check the China V environmental protection list?

Log in to the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Network to inquire and check the vehicle's environmental protection label. The following is relevant information about emission standards: 1. Principle: Vehicle emissions refer to harmful gases such as CO, HC+NOx, and PM discharged from exhaust, all of which are generated during the engine's combustion process. The reasons for these harmful gases vary. CO is an intermediate product of incomplete fuel oxidation and is produced when oxygen is insufficient. High mixture concentration and uneven mixture distribution can increase CO in the exhaust. 2. Standard setting: Vehicle emission standards are established to control pollutant emissions. To curb the generation of these harmful gases and encourage manufacturers to improve their products to reduce emissions at the source, both Europe and the United States have formulated relevant vehicle emission standards. These standards are continuously supplemented, refined, and tightened with the increase in vehicle ownership and the deterioration of the human environment.

What Causes High Low Pressure in Car Air Conditioning and How to Fix It?

High low pressure in car air conditioning is a compressor malfunction. If the pressure gauge shows this phenomenon, and there is no shortage of refrigerant in the pipeline, but the air conditioning performance is poor, then the issue may lie with the air conditioning compressor. There could be internal leakage in the compressor, and generally, replacing the compressor can resolve the problem. Below are the functions of car air conditioning: 1. Temperature Regulation: This is the primary function of car air conditioning. In summer, the cooling system produces cold air to lower the temperature inside the cabin; in winter, except for large commercial vehicles that use independent combustion heaters for warmth, other vehicles mostly utilize the vehicle's residual heat for heating. 2. Humidity Regulation: Humidity significantly affects the comfort of passengers inside the cabin. The humidity inside the cabin should generally be maintained between 30% and 70%. Standard car air conditioning systems do not have the capability to regulate cabin humidity; only through the use of ventilation systems or advanced luxury cars equipped with integrated heating and cooling systems can this be achieved. 3. Airflow Regulation: The velocity and direction of airflow greatly influence passenger comfort. If air is blowing directly, the velocity should be limited to a certain range when the temperature is appropriate. The airflow velocity can be adjusted based on passengers' living environment, age, health condition, and temperature preferences. 4. Air Purification: The quality of air inside the cabin is crucial for ensuring comfort.

How to reset the maintenance light on Audi A6L?

Select the "Maintenance and Inspection" option using the illustrated knob, then press the knob to directly enter the submenu interface. Below is an introduction about the maintenance light: 1. Introduction: The maintenance light is a reminder function set by the car manufacturer to prompt the owner to perform maintenance at certain mileage or time intervals. It appears in the form of an instrument or screen message or indicator light, reminding the owner to perform maintenance. Resetting the maintenance light means resetting the reminder information after maintenance is completed, which is essentially an information reset. 2. Function: The maintenance light serves to record the mileage of important components, much like a timer in a sprint race, playing a role in reminding the owner and automotive maintenance personnel. If the owner replaces related components but does not reset the light, it will not affect the vehicle's performance, but it may cause trouble for the next replacement of car parts, as the exact usage time of the new components cannot be accurately determined.
