The Teana uses 0W20 or 5W30 engine oil, which serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption and buffering. Taking the 2021 Teana as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4901mm, width 1850mm, height 1450mm, with a wheelbase of 2825mm and a fuel tank capacity of 61.3 liters. The 2021 Teana is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 115kW and a maximum torque of 197Nm. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a trapezoidal control arm multi-link independent rear suspension.

My old Teana has been running for over eight years, and I've always used 5W-30 full synthetic oil for maintenance. Both the car manual and dealer recommendations specify this viscosity as the most suitable. Nissan engines require good fluidity during cold starts, and the 5W part ensures it won't freeze even in sub-zero temperatures. The 30 indicates sufficient oil film strength at high temperatures, providing top-notch anti-wear performance. I live in an area with distinct seasons—hot summers and cold winters—and this oil has never caused any issues. The engine runs quieter, and fuel consumption remains stable at around 10L/100km. When buying oil, opt for reputable brands like Shell or Mobil, preferably with API SP certification. Don’t skimp and use mineral oil, or you’ll end up with excessive carbon buildup and doubled repair costs in the long run. Check the oil level every 5,000 to 7,000 km, and follow the manual’s oil change intervals. The Teana is sturdy, but using the wrong oil drastically reduces engine lifespan.

I've seen plenty about oil changes. The Nissan Altima generally recommends 5W-30 full synthetic oil, whose viscosity perfectly matches the engine design. The manual advises against high-viscosity grades like 10W-40, as increased resistance affects acceleration. For owners who frequently drive on highways or carry loads, using high-quality synthetic oil reduces wear and ensures quiet operation. Prioritize API SP-certified oil for guaranteed cleanliness. The recommended change interval is every 8,000 km or six months, especially in cold northern regions. Hybrid models may differ slightly—checking the manual is always correct. Using cheap oil carries risks like black smoke or strange noises; don't penny-pinch at the cost of bigger issues. Daily maintenance is simple: check the dipstick before starting, and top up drop by drop if low. Long-term neglect of oil quality will lead to shocking repair bills.

Hey, a friend who drives a Teana told me he uses 5W-30 synthetic oil and feels the engine runs smoother with quicker acceleration. I tried it too, and it doesn't overheat in traffic jams. For brands, Total or Castrol offer good value for money. The manual recommends this viscosity for its versatility—no stuttering when starting in sub-zero winters and stable oil temperature during summer road trips. Remember to change it regularly, don't slack off every 5,000 km. Fuel-saving tip: Good oil actually saves money, like cutting a liter per 100 km. Keep maintenance simple, don't overcomplicate it.

Is a Tiptronic Transmission an AT?

A Tiptronic transmission is not an AT. Tiptronic refers to an automatic transmission that has a manual shifting function, but this transmission with manual shifting capability is not necessarily an AT transmission. It could also be a dual-clutch transmission or a CVT. Transmission mainly refers to a car's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. A manual transmission primarily consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations. On the other hand, an automatic transmission (AT) is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque variation through hydraulic power transmission and gear combinations.

What Causes the Brake Pedal to Feel Hard?

When the brake pedal feels hard while driving, it is actually the ABS system functioning, and there is no need for excessive concern. Below is an introduction to ABS-related knowledge: 1. Function: ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. It ensures that the wheels maintain rolling friction with the ground even when the brakes are fully applied, preventing wheel lock-up and loss of control. 2. Drawback: On gravel roads or roads with thick snow, vehicles without ABS can push gravel or snow in front of the tires during braking, which helps to stop the wheels from moving forward.

How to Drive a Dual-Clutch Transmission Car?

When driving a dual-clutch transmission car, you should apply the throttle gently and start smoothly, avoiding launch starts. Always shift to N gear when parking and frequently use the manual mode. Below is an introduction to dual-clutch transmission cars: 1. Working principle of dual-clutch transmission: One clutch corresponds to odd-numbered gears, while the other corresponds to even-numbered gears. 2. Dry dual-clutch: Developed based on the 6-speed DQ250 wet dual-clutch technology, it simplifies the related hydraulic system. 3. Wet dual-clutch: The wet dual-clutch consists of two sets of multi-plate clutches, one large and one small, installed coaxially. The clutch plates are housed in a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic fluid, giving the wet clutch structure better adjustment capabilities and excellent thermal properties, allowing it to transmit higher torque.

Which seat in the car is suitable for pregnant women?

Pregnant women should sit in the right rear seat of the car, which is relatively safer. Here are some relevant tips for pregnant women when traveling by car: 1. Avoid pressure on the abdomen: Be careful not to put pressure on the abdomen while sitting in the car. 2. Avoid prolonged sitting: Prolonged sitting can be very uncomfortable for pregnant women, so it's advisable to take short walks and breathe fresh air during long trips. 3. Avoid noise: The outside environment is less comfortable and safe than at home due to heavy traffic and noise. Therefore, special attention should be paid to horn sounds to soothe the baby. 4. Avoid crowds: When taking buses or subways, be extra cautious. Do not rush when boarding and remember that you are a pregnant woman.

Good Methods for Controlling the Clutch in Subject 2?

Here are some tips for clutch control: 1. Correct clutch pedal operation: Use your left foot as a pivot point, press the clutch pedal with the ball of your foot, then use your ankle and knee to press and release, which helps you better feel the semi-engaged state of the clutch. 2. Practice clutch control with reverse parking: During reverse parking, try to release the clutch as slowly as possible, remembering the principle 'release slowly, press gently.' 3. Coordinating clutch and slope: This depends on the power of your test vehicle. If the vehicle has strong power, you don't need to press the accelerator when starting on a slope. Just remember to press the brake with your right foot and slowly release the clutch with your left foot. When the car body starts to shake, you can release the handbrake.

What Can Be Caused by Overheating Engine Temperature?

Overheating engine temperature may damage various components of the engine. Here are the related introductions about the causes of overheating engine temperature: 1. Insufficient coolant: Insufficient coolant or coolant leakage can cause the engine temperature to rise. Check if there is any coolant leakage. If there is, the leaking pipes should be repaired quickly. If not, the same brand of coolant should be added promptly. 2. Water pump: Problems with the water pump can lead to issues with the engine's water circulation, directly causing the water cooling system to fail. Problems with the water pump are usually due to seized bearings or damaged shutters. Immediate repair at a 4S shop or repair shop is necessary to avoid further issues. 3. Cooling fan: When the vehicle is in motion, the generated heat cannot be transferred to the antifreeze in time, affecting heat dissipation and leading to a rise in engine temperature. At this point, driving should not continue, otherwise the temperature will keep rising.
