How Often Should Family Cars Change Engine Oil?

How often family cars should change engine oil depends on the type of oil used: 1. Mineral oil generally needs to be changed every six months or after driving about 5,000 kilometers. 2. Semi-synthetic oil should be changed every 7 to 8 months or about 7,500 kilometers. 3. Full synthetic oil should be changed once a year or about 10,000 kilometers. The following are the steps for changing engine oil: 1. Run the engine until it reaches operating temperature, engage the handbrake, and lift the vehicle. 2. Unscrew the oil filter and drain the oil. 3. Apply new oil to the gasket of the new oil filter and pour new oil into the oil pan. 4. Check for leaks under the engine. 5.

What is the Function and Working Principle of Spark Plugs?

Spark plugs function and working principle: The ground electrode of a spark plug is connected to the metal shell, which is threaded into the engine block via the cylinder head. The insulator primarily serves to isolate the metal shell from the center electrode. The terminal nut is the part of the spark plug that contacts the high-voltage coil. When current passes through the terminal nut and the center electrode, it ionizes the medium between the center electrode and the ground electrode, generating a spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Spark plug replacement intervals: Under normal maintenance conditions, replacement is recommended after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's advisable to follow the owner's manual. The following standards can serve as a reference for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

Is a 2005 Passat still worth buying?

The 2005 Passat is too old, and its condition is relatively poor, so it is not recommended to purchase. The fuel consumption will also be relatively high, and the subsequent maintenance and repairs can be quite troublesome. Relevant details are as follows: 1. The 2005 Passat meets the National IV emission standard. Currently, there is no specific phase-out time for National IV vehicles. If the condition of a National IV vehicle is good, it can still be driven. However, after the implementation of new emission standards, National IV vehicles will be affected. Some cities have started implementing driving restrictions. If the owner is unsure whether their city has driving restrictions, they can check through relevant professional websites. 2. On January 14, 2016, the "Announcement on the Implementation of the Fifth Stage of Motor Vehicle Emission Standards" jointly issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that, based on the upgrade of fuel quality, the National Fifth Stage of Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standards would be implemented in different regions at different times, with the aim of reducing vehicle exhaust emissions.
