It is recommended to use the original engine oil provided by the manufacturer for the Excelle. Of course, for the Excelle 1.5L, brands such as Mobil, Shell, and Castrol can also be used. Below is the relevant information about the engine oil for the Excelle: 1. Continue to use the 5W-30 oil grade, as this grade basically meets the requirements for both winter and summer use in China. 2. If you are in a hotter region, you can use 5W-40. The higher the number, the greater the viscosity and the higher the maximum applicable temperature. 3. The Buick Excelle 1.5L uses the original 5W-30 semi-synthetic oil, priced at 50 yuan/L, with a filling volume of about 3.7L.

How to Turn on the Car Washer?

Method to turn on the car washer: Pull the wiper control lever towards the driver to spray water. Adding water to the wiper washer reservoir is also simple: Open the car's hood, lift the cap of the wiper washer reservoir, fill it with antifreeze windshield washer fluid, tighten the reservoir cap, and close the car's hood. In addition to antifreeze properties, the washer fluid also has anti-corrosion effects, preventing corrosion to the engine cooling system and offering rust prevention and removal functions. The freezing point of the washer fluid is generally around -40 degrees Celsius, with high-quality ones reaching about -60 degrees. The boiling point of the washer fluid should be at least 108 degrees Celsius or higher.

How Many Gears Does the Corolla Transmission Have?

The Corolla manual transmission uses a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed manual, while the automatic transmission uses a CVT (simulating 8 gears) and an E-CVT. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) does not have specific gear positions. In operation, it is similar to an automatic transmission, but the change in speed ratio differs from the gear-shifting process of an automatic transmission, resulting in continuous and smooth power delivery. Transmission Fluid Replacement: For the Toyota Corolla, manual transmission fluid is generally replaced every two years or 40,000 kilometers, while automatic transmission fluid is replaced every four years or 80,000 kilometers. CVT transmission fluid is typically maintenance-free, but it should be inspected at 80,000 kilometers and replaced as needed based on usage. Precautions: The temperature of the automatic transmission affects its lifespan. Temperatures exceeding 75 degrees Celsius can easily damage internal components, so using high-quality transmission fluid is crucial for protecting your vehicle.

Can Electric Vehicles Use Household Electricity for Slow Charging?

Electric vehicles can use household electricity for slow charging. Below are specific issues regarding household slow charging: 1. Charging Time: Charging an electric vehicle at home does not violate electricity regulations, but since household electricity is generally 220V, it can only support slow charging, often taking over 8 hours to fully charge. This makes it more suitable for overnight charging. Many electric vehicles now allow setting charging times, which is particularly beneficial in areas with peak and off-peak electricity rates. Users can plug in the charger and set it to start automatically during cheaper off-peak hours. 2. Electricity Rate Increase: Besides the limitation to slow charging, another major issue is that most households use tiered electricity pricing. Frequent EV charging can push the household into the highest pricing tier within 2-3 months, as EVs consume significantly more electricity than typical household appliances—often over ten kilowatt-hours per charge. Even at the highest tier, calculations show EV charging is still cheaper than fueling a gasoline car, though it raises the cost of other household electricity usage. 3. Charging Methods: Most electric vehicles can be charged at home, typically in two ways: low-voltage slow charging and high-voltage fast charging. Low-voltage slow charging uses standard 220V household electricity, is slower, and causes less battery wear, making it ideal for overnight charging. High-voltage fast charging requires industrial-grade high-voltage electricity and is available at pilot charging stations in major cities promoting EVs, similar to gas stations. For example, the BYD E6 can reach 80% charge in just 15 minutes with this method. While possible at home, fast charging requires a dedicated charging station resembling a large transformer.

Why is there no air coming out from the central air vent of the Corolla?

The reasons for no air coming out from the air conditioner are a clogged air filter or a damaged blower. Below are the relevant explanations regarding the air conditioner not blowing hot air: 1. Reasons for the air conditioner not blowing hot air: (1) When the air conditioner is heating in winter, there is a preheating stage after startup. The outdoor unit starts working first, and the indoor unit begins to blow air only after the temperature of the indoor pipes starts to rise. This is because the air conditioner has a cold air prevention function. (2) Another possibility is that during the initial period after startup, the outdoor unit may have frost buildup and needs defrosting. During this stage, the indoor unit does not operate. Defrosting usually takes about 10 minutes, and hot air will only be blown out after defrosting is completed. (3) If it is an issue with the air conditioner, it means the heating-related components are not functioning properly due to damage or malfunction. 2. Solutions for the air conditioner not blowing hot air: (1) If there is no hot air within the first 10 minutes after turning on the air conditioner, wait for a while and check again if air starts coming out. (2) Check if the fan wheel is stuck. If the fan wheel rotates freely, inspect the indoor temperature sensor and pipe temperature sensor, as the heating process involves a cold air discharge phase. (3) If there is an issue with the heating components of the air conditioner, it cannot be resolved by non-professionals. Therefore, it is necessary to call an air conditioner repair technician. Repairs are free during the warranty period, but if the warranty has expired, you will need to pay for the repairs yourself.
