BJ40 is equipped with a turbocharged engine, and it is recommended to use fully synthetic engine oil with a viscosity of 40. Turbocharged engines have higher requirements for engine oil. More details are as follows: 1. Engine oil is known as the lifeblood of the engine. Inside the engine, it not only lubricates but also cleans, seals, cushions, dissipates heat, and prevents rust. Without engine oil, the engine cannot operate normally. During operation, the engine oil forms a thin film on the surfaces of various components, preventing direct contact and friction. 2. When selecting engine oil viscosity, it is essential to choose the appropriate viscosity based on your engine's technical characteristics. The viscosity of the engine oil should neither be too high nor too low. If the viscosity is too low, the oil cannot form a stable film inside the engine. If the viscosity is too high, it increases the resistance during engine operation, affecting power output and fuel economy. Generally, a viscosity of 40 is suitable for turbocharged engines. 3. Over time, the performance of engine oil deteriorates, so it needs to be replaced regularly. It is advisable to change the engine oil on schedule during regular use and replace the oil filter each time. When purchasing an oil filter, always choose genuine products from reputable brands.

Strong Gasoline Smell When Starting the Car

When starting a cold engine, the vehicle's computer will appropriately increase the fuel injection volume based on intake temperature and coolant temperature signals. At this time, the engine has not yet reached its normal operating temperature, resulting in poor combustion efficiency. This causes some fuel to be discharged without being fully burned, leading to a strong gasoline smell during cold starts. If there is still a heavy gasoline smell after starting, the following faults may have occurred: 1. Insufficient air intake at the throttle valve: This causes incorrect air flow information, affecting fuel injection volume and increasing fuel consumption, which makes the gasoline smell more pronounced. 2. Excessive carbon buildup in the cylinder combustion chamber and pistons: This leads to insufficient cylinder pressure, causing an overly rich air-fuel mixture and increased fuel consumption. 3. Excessive carbon deposits inside the engine: This results in poor atomization of the air-fuel mixture. 4. Gasoline pipe leakage: Oil sludge forms at the pipe joints, and the smell enters the car through the air conditioning system.

What type of engine oil should be used for Dongfeng Fengshen?

Dongfeng Fengshen is best suited for Total or Castrol full synthetic engine oil, with the oil specification being 0W-30. Below is relevant information about several types of engine oil: 1. Mineral Oil: A commonly used lubricant in the market. Mineral oil utilizes inferior components from crude oil, making it inexpensive. However, its service life and lubrication performance are inferior to synthetic oil, and it also causes greater environmental pollution. 2. Semi-Synthetic Oil: A product refined from mineral oil through hydrocracking technology. It is a mixture of mineral oil and full synthetic oil in a 4:6 ratio. The purity of semi-synthetic oil is very close to that of full synthetic oil, but its cost is slightly higher than mineral oil, making it an ideal transitional product from mineral oil to synthetic oil. 3. Full Synthetic Oil: Full synthetic oil is a high-grade lubricant among engine oils. It is derived from ethylene and propylene dispersed from natural gas or gas in crude oil, which then undergoes polymerization, catalysis, and other complex chemical reactions to form a lubricating fluid composed of large molecules.

Does a CVT Transmission Have Gear Shift Jerks?

Automotive CVT transmissions may produce jerking sensations during gear shifts, which is a normal phenomenon caused by the inertial impact of internal engine components. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Downshift Jerks: When the accelerator pedal is pressed or the brake pedal is released, the generator immediately engages, connecting to the engine and imposing a certain load. In this scenario, the engine's RPM is affected, and since the engine speed and clutch speed are not synchronized, a jerking sensation occurs. 2. Upshift Jerks: In this case, the transmission's speed is insufficient, and the upshift speed cannot keep up with the rate of pressing the accelerator. As a result, the transmission produces a jerking sensation during the instant of upshifting. 3. Low-Speed Jerks: During low-speed driving, the vehicle frequently shifts between 1st and 2nd gears, causing the clutch to repeatedly engage and disengage. However, within a very short time, smooth power transmission cannot be achieved, leading to common low-speed jerks, typically noticeable when the car starts moving.

How to Confirm a Dead Battery?

Methods to determine if the battery is dead are as follows: 1. Failure to start: The most obvious sign is the inability to start the car, with the engine making a squealing noise when attempting to ignite. 2. Check the battery's inspection hole: Green indicates good condition, while black signifies an issue. Generally, there will be instructions on the battery's surface. 3. Warning lights illuminate: The battery warning light and engine warning light on the dashboard will light up. 4. Voltage abnormality alert: If the vehicle has a voltage monitoring system, it will alert you to voltage abnormalities. Precautions for using a car battery are as follows: 1. Turn off all electrical devices: Always switch off headlights, car audio, and other electrical equipment when turning off the engine and exiting the vehicle. Most cases of battery depletion occur because headlights are left on after the engine is turned off. 2. Regularly check the battery's condition: The typical lifespan of a car battery is around 4 years. Once it reaches this age, it should be inspected promptly. 3. Unplug all electrical outlets in the car: For devices plugged into the cigarette lighter socket, it's best to unplug them after exiting the vehicle. If the car will not be used for an extended period, it's advisable to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.

Can vehicles undergo annual inspection in a different location?

Except for large passenger buses and school buses, which cannot undergo annual inspection in a different location, all other vehicles can be inspected elsewhere. Currently, the traffic management authorities have fully implemented cross-provincial annual inspections for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses. Applicants can directly undergo inspection in provinces other than where the vehicle is registered and obtain the inspection compliance mark without needing to apply for an inspection authorization. Large passenger buses and school buses must return to the vehicle's registered location for inspection. Annual inspection time requirements: Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years. After 6 years but less than 10 years, they must be inspected every two years; after 10 years but less than 15 years, they must be inspected annually; after 15 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 5 years; after 5 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Trucks and large and medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 10 years; after 10 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Imported vehicles, like other vehicle types, can undergo regular inspection at any inspection station. Annual inspection precautions: Vehicles that fail the annual inspection must be repaired within a specified time limit. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and prohibit further driving. Vehicles that do not undergo annual inspection without reason or fail the inspection are not allowed to drive on roads or be transferred. Vehicles that meet the scrapping conditions or exceed the prescribed usage period will not be inspected, and their license plates will be revoked, their records deleted, and they will be scrapped.
