Toyota Corolla 1.2T can use the following engine oils for maintenance: 1. 0W-20 full synthetic oil; 2. 5W-30 full synthetic oil. Methods for selecting engine oil are as follows: 1. Choose the viscosity grade: Generally, in winter, 5W oil can be used in many areas, but in some northern regions (such as Jilin Province), it is better to use 0W oil to obtain better cold start performance and adapt to the local environmental temperature. The high-temperature viscosity value of the oil is generally 20, but if the vehicle is often driven in congested sections, is relatively old, or is a long-distance heavy-duty transport vehicle, the oil viscosity can be appropriately increased, such as using 0W30 lubricating oil. 2. Choose the engine oil brand: For oil that needs to have long-lasting performance, Mobil oil can be chosen; if you focus on the oil's cleaning ability for the engine, Shell lubricating oil can be used; if strong oil film toughness is required, Castrol is recommended. For example, turbocharged engines are prone to carbon deposits during high-speed operation, so Shell full synthetic oil with strong cleaning ability can be used.

Can I Transfer Driving Schools Midway Through the Process?

It is possible to transfer driving schools midway through the process, but certain conditions must be met. The transfer must be allowed between the driving schools in the local area, and both schools should be under the jurisdiction of the same local vehicle management office. If you transfer to another driving school halfway through the process, you need to obtain the test skill certificate from the vehicle management office and submit it to the new driving school for file transfer. Below are the relevant regulations for the driving test: For the initial application for a motor vehicle driver's license or to add a permitted driving category, the vehicle management office should issue a learning driving permit within one day after passing the subject one exam. The learning driving permit is valid for three years. Applicants must complete the subject two and subject three exams within the validity period. If the exams are not completed within the validity period, the passed subject scores will be invalidated. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled exams for subject two and subject three road driving skills tests cannot exceed five times. If the fifth scheduled exam is still not passed, the passed scores of other subjects will be invalidated.

Is the AMT Transmission Prone to Failure?

Under normal usage conditions, the AMT transmission is not prone to failure. Introduction: The AMT transmission is an electromechanical-hydraulic integrated automatic transmission that combines the advantages of both AT (automatic) and MT (manual) transmissions. The working principle of the AMT transmission involves modifying the original mechanical transmission (manual gearbox), primarily altering the manual gear-shifting control part. That is, without changing the overall transmission structure, automation of gear shifting is achieved by installing a microcomputer-controlled automatic operating system. Therefore, the AMT essentially uses a computer to control a robotic system to perform two actions: operating the clutch and selecting gears. The core technology of the AMT is microcomputer control, and the quality of electronic technology will directly determine the performance and operational quality of the AMT. Currently, AMT transmissions are developing in two directions. On one hand, due to their structure being very similar to manual transmissions, they are used in some speed-oriented vehicle models. On the other hand, there is a trend toward simplification, making them visible in low-end vehicle models because of their cost-effectiveness.

Is There Any Impact When Driving Without the Fuel Tank Cap?

Driving without the fuel tank cap has several impacts, as outlined below: Safety Issues: The shaking and vibration of a gasoline vehicle while driving can generate small friction sparks or static electricity at any time, potentially leading to safety accidents. Any exposure to open flames or static electricity poses a safety risk, endangering people nearby, the vehicle, or other objects, and may cause significant harm or hidden dangers. Fuel Consumption Issues: Gasoline is a volatile substance. In summer, leaving the fuel tank cap off can cause gasoline to evaporate easily, leading to significantly higher fuel consumption. Diesel contains more impurities, and its combustion tends to produce more soot, contributing to air pollution. The pollution caused by soot includes benzene compounds from gasoline, and without a cap, these volatile compounds can harm the atmospheric environment. Pollution Issues: Gasoline contains benzene compounds, and their evaporation during driving affects the atmospheric environment.

How to Check Manual Transmission Oil?

To check the manual transmission oil level, first unscrew the bolt and inspect the gear oil. If the oil in the transmission reaches the lower edge of the filler port, the oil level is normal. Manual transmission oil is primarily composed of base oil, with the addition of additives such as extreme pressure anti-wear agents.

How to Tell if the Fuel Injector is Good or Bad?

Fuel injectors generally do not fail simultaneously, so a swapping method can be used for verification. For example, if one cylinder is not working, you can swap the fuel injector with another cylinder (e.g., the second cylinder) and test again. Alternatively, insert a diode into the fuel injector plug to check if there is power input.
