You can use 5W-30 full synthetic engine oil, such as Shell Helix Ultra series, which is suitable for most luxury cars, turbocharged models and high-performance sports cars. The following is the relevant introduction of Changan Blue Whale engine: 1. Introduction: Blue Whale Power is actually a power solution, which consists of Blue Whale engine, Blue Whale transmission and Blue Whale oil-electric hybrid drive. The "Blue Whale NE Power Platform" behind it is China's first modular engine R&D platform. In addition to 1.4T, 1.5T and other engines, it is also compatible with 1.0-1.8L displacement and various power types such as 48V, HEV, and PHEV, with high versatility and strong scalability. 2. Features: The thermal efficiency value of most self-owned brand engines can only be maintained at about 35%-36%. However, the thermal efficiency of the Blue Whale NE series 1.4T engine has now reached 38%, and there will be models with 40% thermal efficiency in the future. The improvement of thermal efficiency will have a very positive effect on the reduction of fuel consumption.

I've been driving a Changan vehicle equipped with the Blue Whale engine for several years, always using the officially recommended 5W-30 full synthetic oil. Every time I get an oil change at the 4S shop, the engine runs exceptionally smooth, starts effortlessly, and fuel consumption stays within a reasonable range. Why insist on this type of oil? Because the Blue Whale engine is designed for high efficiency with precision internal components. Full synthetic oil offers superior protection, reduces friction and carbon buildup, and extends engine life. I usually opt for reliable brands like Shell or Mobil, with a 5W-30 viscosity that adapts well to various temperatures, and the manual also specifies SN or higher-grade oil. Don't try to save money by using conventional oil, or you'll face louder noise during acceleration and faster wear. I typically change the oil every 7,000 kilometers or so to keep the car in top condition. A reminder to everyone: regular oil checks are crucial—don't wait for a breakdown to regret it. Remember, good oil is like adding a protective layer to your engine, and it's a worthwhile investment.

What does TPI mean for tires?

TPI=threads per inch, which refers to the number of fabric threads per inch, indicating the density of the fabric. A higher TPI count means lower rolling resistance. Most of a tire's rolling resistance is caused by rubber deformation. Since high-TPI casings contain less rubber, they can more efficiently convert the rider's energy into forward momentum. Tires are not entirely made of rubber; they have internal fibers as reinforcement materials. A higher TPI indicates more fibers per inch. A denser weave means finer fibers, requiring less rubber to fill the gaps; conversely, a less dense weave has thicker fibers and requires more rubber. TPI parameter: TPI is a density reference value. The higher the number, the thinner the tire sidewall, the more challenging the manufacturing process, the higher the material requirements, and the better the air retention.

Do I need to retake the test when switching from manual to automatic transmission?

No, the manual transmission test is for the C1 driver's license, while the automatic transmission test is for the C2 driver's license. If you want to switch, the previous results of Subject 1 will be invalidated, and you will have to retake the test, which is simply not worth it. A manual transmission, also known as a manual gearbox (MT), requires the driver to manually shift gears by moving the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. Working principles of manual and automatic transmissions: 1. The impeller and turbine form a working pair: They function like two fans placed opposite each other, where the wind from one fan drives the rotation of the other fan's blades, with the wind acting as the medium for kinetic energy transfer. If a liquid is used instead of air as the medium for kinetic energy transfer, the impeller will drive the turbine to rotate via the liquid. By adding a guide wheel between the impeller and turbine, a speed difference between them can be achieved through reaction force, enabling variable speed and torque. 2. Insufficient torque range: Due to the limited torque range of the hydraulic torque converter in automatic transmissions, several rows of planetary gears are connected in series behind the turbine to improve efficiency. The hydraulic control system automatically operates the planetary gears according to changes in engine operation, thereby achieving automatic speed and torque variation. The auxiliary mechanism for automatic gear shifting cannot meet all driving needs, such as parking or reversing, so intervention devices and manual levers are also included, marked with P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive). Additionally, within the Drive gear, there are "2" and "1" sub-gears for starting or climbing slopes.

How many kilowatt-hours does a fast charge for new energy vehicles consume in one hour?

Charging for one hour consumes 0.22 kilowatt-hours. General situation: A 48v20a battery requires 1.5 kilowatt-hours to fully charge, while a 72v20a battery requires approximately 2.3 kilowatt-hours to fully charge. The charging of electric vehicles cannot be calculated based on time, as the specifications of batteries and chargers vary. When the battery is completely depleted: The required electricity for a full charge = battery voltage x capacity. Electric vehicles: Compared to fuel-powered vehicles, the main differences lie in four major components: the drive motor, speed controller, power battery, and onboard charger. In contrast to gas stations, there are public ultra-fast charging stations. The quality differences of pure electric vehicles depend on these four major components, and their value is also determined by the quality of these four components.

How Long Does a Motorcycle Battery Last After One Charge?

The actual duration depends on specific conditions. However, over time, a motorcycle battery may fail to charge due to aging or excessive electrolyte depletion. Therefore, it is recommended to first check whether the battery is sufficiently charged before recharging. Functions of a Motorcycle Battery: Provides power for the entire vehicle and user-added electronics such as headlights and charging ports; supplies all electrical energy when starting the engine or idling; while riding, it works in tandem with the generator to promptly charge or discharge, ensuring the vehicle operates normally. Motorcycle Battery Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated, and cool place, avoiding dampness or high temperatures; when the vehicle is stored for an extended period, remove the battery, clean it, and store it charged, with a charging frequency of at least once a month; before the battery is used, do not remove the rubber caps or aluminum foil, as this can lead to lead plate oxidation and reduced battery performance.

Which line should the rearview mirror align with during hill start

There are three lines for hill start positioning: solid and dashed lines, with the solid line in the middle. You need to align with this solid line. The hill start is part of the driving license test (Subject 2), requiring the vehicle to start at the bottom of the slope and stop at a designated position. According to test regulations, the front bumper must align with the specified solid line during parking. If the front bumper doesn't reach the parking line after stopping, 10 points will be deducted, but it won't be considered a failure. The parking area has three lines: dashed, solid, and dashed, spaced 50 cm apart. Stopping exactly on the solid line results in no penalty, while stopping on the dashed line deducts 10 points. To align with the solid line, observe the rearview mirror during the test. When the lower edge of the rearview mirror aligns with the middle solid line, the front bumper should be correctly positioned on the middle solid line.

Does the BMW X1 have AUTOHOLD

The 2021 BMW X1 does not come with automatic parking across all models. The AUTOHOLD automatic parking function uses a slope sensor to provide precise parking force through the controller. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from sensors such as the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, and accelerator pedal sensor. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, it automatically releases the parking brake, allowing the car to start smoothly. This significantly reduces the time wasted on judgment based on experience. Simply pressing the "AUTOHOLD" button activates the corresponding automatic parking function. The intelligent AUTOHOLD automatic parking function enables the vehicle to automatically engage four-wheel braking when stopped at traffic lights or on slopes. Even in D or N gear, you don't need to keep your foot on the brake or use the handbrake, as the car remains stationary. To release the stationary state, simply tap the accelerator to disengage the brake. This feature is particularly useful for owners who frequently encounter stop-and-go traffic in the city, and it also appeals to those who often experience vehicle rollback.
