SL or higher grade 5W-30 engine oil should be used. It is recommended to use the original factory oil of this specification. 1. Introduction: On September 6, 1866, American John Ellis founded the Continuous-Oil-Refining company. While studying the possible therapeutic effects of crude oil, Dr. Ellis was disappointed to find no real medicinal value, but became very interested in its potential lubricating properties. He eventually abandoned medical practice and devoted himself to developing all-petroleum, high-viscosity lubricants for steam engines - using inefficient combinations of petroleum and animal and vegetable fats. He made a breakthrough in developing a petroleum that worked effectively at high temperatures, solving problems such as valve sticking, cylinder corrosion, and seal leakage. 2. Grade classification: Engine oil grades are divided into gasoline, diesel and gasoline-diesel universal types: Those beginning with the letter "S" represent gasoline engine oils, with specifications including: API, SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, SM, SN; Those beginning with the letter "C" represent diesel engine oils, with specifications including: API CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, CF-2, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4. If both are present, such as SM/CF, it means the oil is a gasoline-diesel universal type.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When a Volkswagen Turns?

The abnormal noise when a Volkswagen turns is mainly caused by the following reasons: 1. Excessive gear clearance in the Volkswagen's steering gear. In this case, the steering gear needs to be replaced. 2. The abnormal noise comes from the shock absorber's plane bearing. Applying some grease to the plane bearing can help. If the noise persists after greasing, the shock absorber's plane bearing must be replaced. 3. The abnormal noise is from the Volkswagen's stabilizer bar, caused by loose stabilizer bar bushings. This can be resolved by adding shims. If damaged, the bushings must be replaced.

How Often Should Mercedes-Benz Brake Pads Be Replaced?

Mercedes-Benz brake pads are not replaced based on mileage. Generally, they need to be replaced when the brake warning light comes on. Additionally, you should check the thickness of the brake pads; if it is below 3mm, replacement is usually necessary. Here are the methods for inspecting brake pads: 1. Check the thickness: A new brake pad is typically about 1.5cm thick. As it wears down through friction, the thickness gradually decreases. When the visible thickness of the brake pad is reduced to about 1/3 of its original thickness (approximately 0.5cm), the owner should increase the frequency of self-inspection and be prepared to replace it. Some models, due to wheel design, do not allow for visual inspection, and the tire must be removed to check. 2. Listen for sounds: If a metallic scraping or squealing noise is heard when lightly applying the brakes (this could also be due to initial break-in of newly installed brake pads), the brake pads must be replaced immediately. 3. Feel the pedal response: If you notice that the brake pedal feels harder to press and requires deeper application to achieve the usual braking effect, or if the pedal position feels noticeably lower during emergency braking, it may indicate that the brake pads have lost most of their friction and must be replaced.

Does the Mitsubishi Evo have great modification potential?

The Mitsubishi Evo has great modification potential. After modifications, this car can achieve significant improvements in both performance and appearance. From an exterior perspective, as a compact sedan, it is ideal for modifications, with the main areas being the engine hood and trunk lid. These can be modified using carbon fiber materials, which not only reduce the car's weight but also help the engine cool down faster during operation. More details are as follows: 1. Generally, modifying the car's exterior also involves modifying the interior. The interior is just as important as the exterior. The first step is to modify the steering wheel, followed by the paddle shifters, which can elevate the car's overall aesthetic. 2. For those seeking personalization, the car's roof can also be modified. A popular choice is the 'starry sky' roof lining, commonly seen in luxury models but rare in performance cars. Adding this feature to a performance car can enhance its uniqueness. 3. Additionally, a spoiler can be installed. Originally used on aircraft tails to improve stability, spoilers were later adapted for cars to enhance stability and reduce aerodynamic drag during driving.

How to Remove the Tie Rod on a Ford Mondeo?

Ford Mondeo tie rod removal method is as follows: 1. Remove the tie rod dust cover: To prevent water from entering the steering gear, the tie rod is equipped with a dust cover. Use pliers and an opening tool to separate the dust cover from the steering gear. 2. Remove the tie rod-to-steering knuckle connecting bolt: Use a 16mm wrench to remove the bolt connecting the tie rod to the steering knuckle. If no special tools are available, you can use a hammer to tap the connection area to separate the tie rod from the steering knuckle. 3. Remove the tie rod-to-steering gear ball joint. 4. Install the new tie rod: Compare the new tie rod to ensure it matches the original part. First, attach one end of the tie rod to the steering gear and secure the locking plate on the steering gear. Then, install the bolt connecting it to the steering knuckle. 5. Secure the dust cover: If this step is not done properly, water entering the steering gear can cause steering noise. Apply sealant to both ends of the dust cover and secure it with zip ties. 6. Perform a wheel alignment: After replacing the tie rod, a wheel alignment is essential to adjust the data within the normal range. Otherwise, incorrect toe settings may lead to uneven tire wear.
