Toyota Corolla 1.2T officially recommends using the original Toyota Genuine Oil: 0W-20 full synthetic oil. In addition to the original oil, you can also choose brands such as Shell, Mobil, and Castrol. However, you should use engine oil with the following grades: 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, and 10W-30. The Corolla 1.2 requires approximately 4 liters of oil for an oil change, usually slightly less than 4 liters. Additional information: 1. If SAE 10W-30 or higher viscosity engine oil is used in cold weather, the engine may be difficult to start. Therefore, it is recommended to use SAE 0W-20, 5W-20, or 5W-30 engine oil. 2. The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the cold-start performance of the oil. Using oil with a lower number before the W makes it easier to start the engine in cold weather. The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristics of the oil at high temperatures. High-viscosity oil may be more suitable for vehicles that drive at high speeds or carry heavy loads.

Why does the tire pressure monitoring system keep alarming?

The reasons why the tire pressure monitoring system keeps alarming are: 1. Tire replacement without resetting the tire pressure module; 2. Nail puncture causing changes in tire pressure; 3. Tire inflation without resetting the tire pressure monitoring; 4. Prolonged parking without tire inflation, leading to low tire pressure. The method to reset the tire pressure monitoring is: 1. Confirm that the vehicle's tire pressure is within the normal range; 2. Park the vehicle on a flat surface and turn off the engine; 3. Power on the vehicle and hold down the tire pressure monitoring button; 4. After 5 seconds, a warning sound will be heard, and releasing the button will successfully reset the system. The functions of the tire pressure monitoring system are: 1. Timely alarm when a tire is punctured, causing rapid or slow air leakage; 2. Alarm when tire loosening causes unbalanced friction, leading to tire temperature reaching 70 degrees Celsius to prevent blowouts; 3. Alarm when tire pressure is below the vehicle's set limit due to prolonged lack of inflation, preventing low pressure from causing tire temperature rise and blowouts.

Why Do Car Seat Belts Get Wet in the Rain?

Seat belts are positioned close to the car's outer shell and are connected to the interior of the cabin, which can lead to the formation of water droplets.

Below is a detailed introduction to car seat belts: 1. Overview: Car seat belts are safety devices designed to restrain occupants during collisions and prevent secondary impacts with the steering wheel, dashboard, etc., or to avoid injuries from being ejected from the vehicle during a crash. The securing mechanism includes components such as buckles, tongues, anchor pins, and anchor plates. 2. Additional Information: Car seat belts, also referred to as safety belts, are a type of occupant restraint system. They are widely recognized as one of the most cost-effective and efficient safety features. The material used is typically nylon webbing or high-strength polyester webbing.
