The original factory-recommended oil for the Fit is the green can SN-0W-20 grade oil. For the new Fit, using the original green can oil is sufficient. The original blue can oil is also a cost-effective option and can be used as a replacement. It is not recommended to use the gold or purple can oils, as these have higher viscosity and are not suitable for the Fit's 1.5L engine. Of course, car owners can also choose oil brands based on their preferences. Similarly, avoid selecting oils with excessively high viscosity. Additional information: 1. For viscosity selection, in winter, 5W is generally suitable for most regions. However, in some northern areas (such as Heilongjiang), 0W is preferable for better cold-start performance to adapt to local environmental conditions. For high-temperature viscosity, 20 is typically used. However, if driving frequently in congested areas, for older vehicles, or for heavy-duty long-distance transport, it may be appropriate to increase the oil viscosity, such as using 0W30 lubricant. 2. When choosing an oil brand, if longevity is a priority, Mobil oil is a good choice. If engine cleaning capability is important, Shell oil is recommended. For strong oil film toughness, Castrol is advisable. For turbocharged engines, which are prone to carbon buildup at high speeds, Shell oil with strong cleaning capabilities can be used.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Navigator in liters?

The Navigator currently has 5 models on sale. The fuel tank capacity of the long-wheelbase Presidential version is 105.2 liters, while other versions have a fuel tank capacity of 89.3 liters. These figures are officially released data. The Navigator uses 92-octane fuel. The long-wheelbase Presidential version has a fuel consumption of 11.4L per 100km, allowing a range of 923km on a full tank. Other versions also have a fuel consumption of 11.4L per 100km, with a range of 783km on a full tank. During daily driving, it's important to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge in the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately displayed on the gauge. Most fuel gauges have 5 to 6 segments, and it's recommended to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel while driving. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because automakers specify the fuel tank capacity from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This space allows for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount may exceed the nominal capacity.

Should You Use Turn Signals When Turning Right?

You need to activate the right turn signal when making a right turn. According to Article 57 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": When turning left, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn, the left turn signal must be activated in advance. When turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside, the right turn signal must be activated in advance. If a vehicle turns right without using the right turn signal, the driver commits a traffic violation. Failure to use lights as required may result in a fine and a deduction of 1 point from the driver's license. Proper use of vehicle lights: When driving a motor vehicle to turn left, change lanes to the left, prepare to overtake, leave a parking spot, or make a U-turn, activate the left turn signal in advance; When driving a motor vehicle to turn right, change lanes to the right, return to the original lane after overtaking, or park by the roadside, activate the right turn signal in advance; When driving a motor vehicle in low-visibility conditions such as rain, snow, dust, or hail, turn on the headlights, position lights, and rear lights, but avoid using high beams when following another vehicle closely in the same direction; When driving a motor vehicle in foggy conditions, turn on the fog lights, hazard warning lights, headlights, position lights, and rear lights, but avoid using high beams when following another vehicle closely in the same direction; When driving a motor vehicle at night on roads without streetlights or with poor lighting, turn on the high beams, position lights, and rear lights, but avoid using high beams when following another vehicle closely in the same direction; When driving a motor vehicle at night through sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or uncontrolled intersections, or when overtaking, alternate between high and low beams as a signal. Use low beams when meeting on narrow roads or bridges or encountering pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles; When driving a motor vehicle near sharp curves, the top of slopes, or other areas with limited visibility, or when overtaking or encountering emergencies, slow down and sound the horn as a warning; If a motor vehicle breaks down or is involved in an accident on the road and cannot be moved, activate the hazard warning lights and place a warning sign 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle. At night, also turn on the position lights and rear lights; When entering a highway from an on-ramp, activate the left turn signal and merge into the acceleration lane without obstructing vehicles already on the highway; When exiting a highway, activate the right turn signal in advance, merge into the deceleration lane without obstructing vehicles already on the highway, reduce speed, and then enter the off-ramp.

Must the Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Motorcycles Be Handled by the Owner in Person?

The compulsory traffic insurance does not necessarily have to be handled by the vehicle owner in person; it can also be handled by the user of the motor vehicle. To apply for compulsory traffic insurance, you need to bring: the driving license and vehicle registration certificate of the insured motor vehicle, the ID card of the insured, and for renewal, the original copy of the previous year's compulsory traffic insurance is also required. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory nationwide, and only with it can you drive legally on the road.

Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Cars: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a compulsory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle personnel and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured motor vehicle within the liability limit. The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies for different vehicle types, mainly influenced by the number of car seats. Compared to the more than 20 exemption clauses of commercial third-party insurance, the exemption scope of compulsory traffic insurance covers losses caused by intentional acts of the victim, property losses of the insured, related arbitration and litigation costs, and some indirect losses caused by accidents, with much broader coverage. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in the accident, compulsory traffic insurance will compensate within the liability limit, with no deductible or exemption.
