Naturally aspirated engine models are recommended to use synthetic or full synthetic engine oil, while turbocharged engine models use full synthetic engine oil. The first maintenance engine oil is generally provided free of charge by the 4S shop. For most new cars undergoing their first maintenance at a 4S shop, the free replacement oil is mineral oil. If you want to use synthetic oil, you must pay an additional amount to purchase it. Here are the specific details about engine oil: 1. Engine oil can be divided into three types based on its chemical composition: full synthetic, synthetic, and mineral. 2. In addition to the type of engine oil, check the engine oil model. Engine oil models usually have two standards—SAE and API. SAE represents the viscosity specification of the oil, while API represents the quality grade of the oil.

How Often Should Engine Spark Plugs Be Replaced?

Ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs should be replaced approximately every 20,000 kilometers, platinum spark plugs around every 40,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information: 1. Spark plugs are a crucial component of the ignition system in gasoline engines. They introduce high voltage into the combustion chamber, causing a spark to jump across the electrode gap, thereby igniting the combustible air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. 2. A spark plug mainly consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell, with the side electrode welded to the shell. Spark plugs are mounted on the side or top of the engine. In earlier designs, spark plugs were connected to the distributor via ignition cables, but over the past decade, most car engines have switched to direct connection between the ignition coil and the spark plug.

Does the activated carbon cabin air filter have a front and back side?

Activated carbon cabin air filters do have a front and back side. Here is the relevant information: 1. The orientation of the activated carbon cabin air filter is determined by the blower. The filter is installed inside the glove compartment. Turn on the AC and observe the blower's airflow direction: If the air blows upward, the black activated carbon side should face downward; if the air blows downward, the black activated carbon side should face upward. The black side is the intake side, while the white HEPA cotton side is the outlet side. 2. As the name suggests, a dual-effect activated carbon cabin air filter combines the ability to filter dust with the activated carbon's capability to adsorb harmful gases. The dual-effect structure consists of two parts: filter fabric + activated carbon.

Why is there water leakage under the car steering wheel?

The cause is a leak due to damage to the air conditioning condensate pipe. Here is relevant information about the car steering wheel: 1. Definition: The wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of the car, which converts the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmits it to the steering shaft. 2. Grip method: If the steering wheel is viewed as a clock face, the correct hand position is left hand between 9 and 10 o'clock, and right hand between 3 and 4 o'clock. In the event of a collision, this posture is more conducive to supporting the body. 3. Material: The frame is generally made of zinc alloy or aluminum alloy. Some manufacturers are experimenting with cheaper and lighter magnesium alloys. The frame is produced by die-casting. A small number of manufacturers still use steel sheet metal for the frame, which has a complex structure.

What does BMW x-drive mean?

BMW x-drive is introduced as follows: 1. xDrive refers to BMW's intelligent all-wheel-drive system. This system can quickly adjust the torque distribution between the front and rear axles while driving, providing the driver with more stable driving performance. For example, if understeer occurs during driving where the front wheels are pulled outward in a curve, the intelligent all-wheel-drive system will reduce the torque allocated to the front axle and transfer the power to the rear axle. 2. Additionally, the intelligent all-wheel-drive system can work in conjunction with the dynamic stability system to detect wheel slip. When slip occurs, the xDrive's diaphragm clutch is locked by an electric motor, which then transmits appropriate power to the wheels with the best grip. Meanwhile, the slipping wheels are controlled by the braking system to ensure the vehicle's stability.
