Turbocharged engines are better suited for full synthetic or semi-synthetic engine oil. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines generate more powerful performance and higher output during operation, leading to relatively greater wear on internal components. Without high-performance engine oil for lubrication, it can result in abnormal wear or severe coking of the turbocharger, and in severe cases, even damage the turbo. There are three types of engine oils used in vehicles: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. These three types of oils serve different purposes and have varying service intervals. Generally, mineral oil has a service interval of about 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil about 6,500 kilometers, and full synthetic oil about 10,000 kilometers.

Can the Accord Hybrid Get a Green License Plate?

The Accord Hybrid cannot get a green license plate because it is a non-plug-in hybrid. The green license plate is designated for new energy vehicles, which include four major types: Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV, including solar-powered cars), Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV), and other new energy vehicles (such as those with supercapacitors or flywheels as high-efficiency energy storage devices). A hybrid vehicle, which combines a gasoline engine with an electric motor, is not classified as a new energy vehicle. The Accord is a model under Honda, with body dimensions of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2830mm. In terms of exterior design, the Accord features sleek and fluid body lines, blending a stylish and dynamic appearance with an elegant demeanor.

How to Use the Electronic Parking Brake?

Usage of the electronic parking brake: After starting the car, the electronic parking brake light will illuminate, indicating that the brake is currently in the engaged state. At this point, shift the gear to the drive position, and the electronic parking brake will automatically disengage, allowing the car to move forward. When parking, always shift to the neutral (N) position, then pull up the electronic parking brake. Once the parking brake light comes on, release the brake pedal, and the parking brake will be engaged. To disengage, shift to the drive position, and the brake will release automatically, making it very convenient to operate. Shift back to neutral and activate the electronic parking brake again. Without pressing the brake pedal, clicking the release button will have no effect—the red light will remain on. After pressing the brake pedal, clicking the release button will disengage the parking brake. At this point, the brake is controlled via the brake pedal.

Can You Continue Driving with a Faulty Fuel Injector?

It is not recommended to continue driving with a faulty fuel injector. A car with a faulty fuel injector may start, but it will experience severe shaking, inability to accelerate, lack of power, and significantly higher fuel consumption. In severe cases, it can damage the engine. The performance of the fuel injector plays a fundamental role in the power output of each engine. A fuel injector is essentially a normally closed valve, meaning the valve remains closed when there is no input control signal. The opening and closing of the valve are controlled by the movement of a valve needle. When the ECU issues a fuel injection command, the voltage signal causes current to flow through the coil inside the fuel injector, generating a magnetic field that lifts the valve needle, opens the valve, and allows fuel to be sprayed through the injection port.

Why Does Engine Oil Turn Black?

Engine oil turns black because there is some carbon deposits and sludge inside the engine. Engine oil has a cleaning function, so after being used for a period of time, the oil will turn black as it cleans away the dirt in the engine. It is normal for engine oil to darken after some use. The presence of some carbon deposits and sludge in the engine is also normal, and the oil can clean away part of these deposits. Engine oil is composed of base oil and additives. During normal engine operation, the oil forms a protective film on the surfaces of various engine components, preventing direct contact and friction between them.

How Does a Car Air Conditioning System Work?

Working principle of car air conditioning: The car air conditioning refrigeration system consists of a compressor, condenser, receiver-drier, expansion valve, evaporator, and blower. These components are connected by copper pipes and high-pressure rubber hoses to form a sealed system. When the refrigeration system operates, the refrigerant circulates within this sealed system in different states. The functions of automatic air conditioning include automatic adjustment of interior temperature and humidity, automatic control of air recirculation and supply modes, as well as operation mode and ventilation volume control. The electronic control unit will automatically operate the air conditioning system based on the settings made by the driver or passengers via the buttons on the air conditioning display control panel. It also adjusts the air supply temperature and speed in a timely manner according to the signals input from various sensors to maintain an optimal air environment inside the car.
