Peugeot 408 uses fully synthetic engine oil. The functions of engine oil are: 1. Lubricating the pistons and cylinders of the engine; 2. Assisting in cooling the engine; 3. Cleaning carbon deposits on engine components; 4. Absorbing acidic substances on the surface of parts; 5. Reducing engine friction resistance. Engine oil is composed of base oil and additives, and is classified into fully synthetic oil, semi-synthetic oil, and mineral oil. The process for changing engine oil is: 1. Remove the drain plug to drain the used oil; 2. Remove the oil filter; 3. Clean the filter housing and replace the oil filter; 4. Add new engine oil; 5. Check for any oil leaks.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of independent suspension?

The advantages and disadvantages of independent suspension are as follows: 1. The main advantages of independent suspension are: light weight, which reduces the impact on the vehicle body and improves the ground adhesion of the wheels; the left and right wheels can move independently, reducing body tilt and vibration. 2. The main disadvantages of independent suspension are: complex structure, high cost, and inconvenient maintenance. Extended content: Depending on the structural form, independent suspension systems can be further divided into MacPherson strut, double wishbone, and multi-link types. 1. MacPherson suspension. MacPherson suspension is currently the most widely used suspension type, mainly composed of a coil spring, shock absorber, and triangular lower control arm. Its movement characteristic is that the wheel can only move up and down along the kingpin, not side to side. 2. Double wishbone independent suspension. Double wishbone independent suspension is more commonly used in some sporty models. It mainly consists of two three-point rods and one two-point rod. The two transverse arms can absorb lateral forces, while the strut mainly bears the vehicle weight, and the vertices of the two wishbones are responsible for steering. 3. Multi-link independent suspension. Multi-link independent suspension can be further divided into multi-link front suspension and multi-link rear suspension systems. The front suspension is generally a 3-link or 4-link independent suspension, while the rear suspension is usually a 4-link or 5-link rear suspension system, with the 5-link rear suspension being more widely used.

Can the annual inspection of a sedan be processed in another location?

Sedans can undergo annual inspection in another location. Currently, the traffic management department has fully implemented cross-provincial inspection for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses. Applicants can directly inspect their vehicles in provinces other than the vehicle registration location and apply for the inspection compliance mark without needing to go through the entrustment inspection procedure. Large passenger buses and school buses cannot be inspected in another location and must return to the vehicle registration location for inspection. Annual inspection time requirements: Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection within 6 years. For vehicles over 6 years but less than 10 years, inspection is required every two years; for vehicles over 10 years but less than 15 years, annual inspection is required once a year; for vehicles over 15 years, inspection is required every 6 months. Operational passenger vehicles require inspection once a year within 5 years; for vehicles over 5 years, inspection is required every 6 months. Trucks and large and medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles require inspection once a year within 10 years; for vehicles over 10 years, inspection is required every 6 months. Imported vehicles, like other vehicle types, can undergo regular inspection at any inspection site. Annual inspection precautions: Vehicles that fail the annual inspection should be repaired within a specified time limit. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office should confiscate their license plates and prohibit further driving. Vehicles that do not participate in the annual inspection without reason or fail the inspection are not allowed to drive on the road or transfer registration. Vehicles that meet the scrapping conditions or exceed the specified service life will not be inspected, and their license plates will be revoked, their files canceled, and they will be scrapped.

How to set up one-touch window control for Audi A6?

Audi A6 one-touch window control setup method: First lightly press or pull to raise the window to the top, hold for 3 seconds then release.

Will Disinfectant Corrode Car Paint?

Disinfectant will not corrode car paint because it is diluted and has minimal impact on the vehicle's paint. Low-concentration disinfectant is insufficient to damage the car. However, car paint is relatively vulnerable to damage during driving, as even minor collisions can cause wear on the paint surface. Methods for disinfecting a vehicle: 1. Wear a mask even inside the car; 2. Ensure good air quality in the car by maintaining proper ventilation; 3. The cabin air filter is a crucial barrier for filtering in-car air—inspect it regularly and replace it if necessary; 4. Use disinfectant wipes to clean door handles, steering wheels, and in-car entertainment systems.

How to Tell If a Car Is Imported?

Methods to determine if a car is imported: 1. Check the rear of the car. If it is an imported car, there will definitely be no Chinese labels, otherwise it is a domestically produced car; 2. Look at the 16-digit code of the vehicle, also known as the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). If the starting letter is not 'L', it is an imported car; 3. Check the vehicle nameplate. Generally, the nameplate will directly indicate the manufacturing location of the car. Imported cars refer to those that are wholly manufactured and assembled in foreign factories. Some brands like Subaru, Dodge, Jaguar, Land Rover, and the Mercedes-Benz S series, which do not have joint venture factories in China and are not domestically produced, are imported cars sold in China.

What is the general height of a car?

The height of a car typically ranges between 1400mm and 1600mm, the length between 3800mm and 4300mm, and the width between 1600mm and 1800mm. Different car models may vary in size. Here is some relevant knowledge about car dimensions: 1. Length: The length of a car refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane, touching the most protruding parts at the front and rear (excluding rearview mirrors, marker lights, flexible mudguards, folding steps, anti-skid chains, and the part of the tire in contact with the ground). 2. Width: The width of a car refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane, touching the fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle.
