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.

Can You Release the Clutch Immediately After Shifting Gears in Subject Three?

You cannot release the clutch immediately. The relevant explanation is as follows: Operation requirements: The clutch operation should follow the sequence of 'slow release for first to second gear, slow release for second to third gear, quick release for third to fourth gear, and quick release for fourth to fifth gear.' When the vehicle speed is slow, the clutch should be released gradually; otherwise, the jerking sensation will be strong. Once the speed increases, quickly releasing the clutch will hardly produce any jerking sensation. Clutch: The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission. The clutch is a commonly used component in mechanical transmissions, allowing the drivetrain to be disconnected or engaged at any time.

What Causes the Steering Column Noise in Toyota Camry?

Toyota Camry steering wheel and steering noise may be caused by insufficient lubrication of the steering column, resulting in high friction; low power steering fluid level; issues with universal joints; aging and hardening of suspension stabilizer bar bushings; or damaged thrust bearings. Below is more relevant information: Load on Toyota Camry steering gear: From the perspective of steering gear principles, the Toyota Camry achieves vacuum assistance, but this only reduces the driver's control effort—the actual load on the steering gear remains unchanged. Therefore, an effective way to reduce steering gear wear is to minimize its operational load. Aging and safety hazards: Car enthusiasts should develop the habit of turning the steering wheel only after the wheels start moving. This reduces friction between the tires and the ground, lessens excessive load on the steering gear, and prevents over-wear of the steering linkage system, which can cause noise when turning. Long-term stationary steering: Not only does this place significant load on the steering gear, but it also accelerates tire surface wear and shortens tire lifespan. To change this habit, quickly turn the steering wheel when the wheels are slightly moving to achieve the desired control.
