What kind of engine oil should be used for the 1.2L Toyota Corolla?

Toyota officially recommends using 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, and 10W-30 engine oils for the 1.2L Corolla. Using 0W-20 engine oil can maximize fuel savings. The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the cold-start performance of the oil. 0W-20 engine oil: 0W-20 oil means it has the best low-temperature fluidity, but its high-temperature performance is relatively average, meaning the oil is thinner. 0W-20 oil is relatively thin and has weaker adhesion compared to 0W-30 oil. Using 0W-20 oil can provide better power performance than 5W-30 oil, improve fuel economy, and reduce operating noise. 5W-30 engine oil: 5W-30 has better high-temperature resistance and stronger shear resistance than 0W-20, offering superior protection. 5W-20 engine oil: 5W-20 has low viscosity (viscosity between 5.6-9.3), which is relatively fuel-efficient and makes the vehicle feel lighter during driving. 10W-30 engine oil: 10W-30 oil is an all-season oil that can be used year-round.

Is the Chevrolet Tracker's Three-Cylinder Engine Reliable?

Reliable. As long as you avoid aggressive driving and regularly maintain the vehicle at a 4S shop, there should be no major issues. Additionally, this car has very low fuel consumption. Below is a related introduction to the Tracker: 1. Powertrain: It uses a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine with 165 horsepower and a maximum torque of 240 Nm, featuring direct fuel injection technology and an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a CVT transmission. 2. Suspension: The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The torsion beam non-independent suspension has a simple structure, compact size, and occupies less space. Using a torsion beam for the rear suspension helps expand rear seating space and trunk capacity.

Do I Still Need to Shift to Neutral with Auto Hold?

With a dual-clutch transmission and auto hold engaged, you cannot shift to neutral because doing so will deactivate the auto hold function. Here are recommendations for shifting gears in different scenarios: 1. When the vehicle fails to start; when using a tow rope or needing to be towed by another vehicle, the gear selector should be placed in N (Neutral) and never in P (Park) for forced towing. This is because shifting to P locks the transmission output shaft to the transmission housing with a mechanical lock pin. Forced towing in P can easily damage transmission and drivetrain components. 2. For brief stops; when the car is briefly stopped on a flat surface, such as waiting at a red light as mentioned earlier, you should generally shift to N first, engage the parking brake to let it function, then shift to P, and finally release the brake.

What Causes the Brake Noise in Tesla Vehicles?

Tesla brake noise can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Severely worn brake pads: Over time, brake pads thin out due to prolonged friction. Excessively thin brake pads can lead to reduced braking effectiveness. 2. Noise caused by brake pad material: Harder materials may produce squeaking sounds during braking and can also damage the brake discs. 3. Improper installation of the brake system: Loose or misaligned installation during assembly can result in brake noise. 4. Foreign objects in the brake disc: When driving on rough roads, wheels can easily fling stones or other debris. Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes can trap objects between the pad and disc, causing noise. 5. Severely worn brake discs: Sometimes, brake discs get scratched by foreign objects or impacted by other items, leaving uneven surfaces. Friction between the brake pads and these uneven surfaces can also generate noise.

Where is the oil filter located on a 2017 Jeep Compass?

The oil filter plays a crucial role in the engine's filtration system. While its position may vary, it's primarily located either at the front top of the engine or beneath the engine. Here are the details: 1. Oil filter. Also known as the oil cleaner, it's positioned within the engine lubrication system to remove impurities such as dust, metal particles, carbon deposits, and soot from the engine oil, thereby protecting the engine. 2. The oil filter consists of two main parts. The upstream section connects to the oil pump, while the downstream section links to engine components requiring lubrication. Oil filters come in two types: full-flow and bypass. The full-flow filter is connected in series between the main oil passage and the oil pump, filtering all lubricating oil entering the main oil channel. The bypass filter runs parallel to the main oil passage and only filters a portion of the oil delivered by the pump.

Do Traffic Lights Measure Speed?

Traffic light cameras can measure speed. Additional information is as follows: 1. Electronic Eye: Uses induction lines to sense the pressure transmitted by vehicles on the road, collects signals through sensors to the central processor, and temporarily stores them in registers. Within the same time interval (red light cycle), if two pulse signals are generated simultaneously, it is considered "valid." Simply put, if the front wheels cross the line during a red light while the rear wheels do not, only one pulse is generated. If there are no two consecutive pulses, no photo is taken. When the yellow light is on, the photo system is delayed by 2 seconds before activation. When the red light is on, the system is already active. When the green light is about to turn on, the system shuts down 2 seconds in advance, mainly to prevent false captures. 2. There are four types of speed cameras: fixed speed cameras, mobile speed cameras, average speed cameras (interval speed cameras), and hidden speed cameras.

What Causes Jerking When Shifting from Second to Third Gear?

For manual transmissions, a faulty spark plug may cause jerking when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. Check if the spark plug electrode gap is too wide or if the ceramic part of the spark plug is cracked. For automatic transmissions, another possible cause is a malfunctioning shift solenoid valve. Use a diagnostic tool to check for any trouble codes in the transmission and to verify if the data during the 2nd to 3rd gear shift is normal. Here are some additional notes on shifting: Most modern cars are equipped with synchronizers, making gear shifts easier. However, improper operation can damage the clutch. Using the double-clutch shifting method can help extend the lifespan of the components.
